Gotta love the Stimulus! Everyone has been complaining that Massachusetts has taken its time spending the Stimulus cash. Well here it comes in Dorchester. We all know that the 15 intersection answer (after years of neighborhood meetings completing a plan for the ENTIRE AVENUE got dumped for the Stimulus funded 15 intersection answer which hopefully the city won’t forget to finish the in between spots…oops I was trying to post a compliment), has started on Dorchester Avenue. Well there has also been work to get Talbot Ave repaired with adding bike lanes as part of the job. Check out the dotbike flickr site for photos of same HAPPENING! Yahoo! I’m not up on the official story, but I had heard second hand the stripes were in. It will be tough for a bit to ride on, but hey it wouldn’t take to go another way thus avoiding the construction for now. Yahoo! If only the City had striped Bowdoin Ave from 4 corners to Geneva Ave and Glenway from Blue Hill to Harvard, then we’d be getting service somewhat in line with the rest of the city. Remember we’re 20% of the area and population of the city of Boston out here in Dorchester. With over 750 Streets, ANY artery road should be subject to more modal transportation marking and signage. Oh yeah I was trying to post a compliment. Thanks Boston transportation planners! Keep it up and bring us more!
