Commonwealth Avenue (BU East) Bike Lanes
Comm. Ave. was one of the first streets in Boston to have a bike lane. Now, it's time to make them better.
We are working with Boston University and nearby residents to create separated bike lanes between:
- University Road/Carleton Street, and
- Beacon Street/Massachusetts Avenue.
On a regular day, you'll find 1,000 people biking along Comm. Ave. near Silber Way. On a sunnier day, you're likely to see over 2,000 on bikes. But, Comm. Ave. is also one of the most crash-prone streets in the City for people on bikes.
