Or was it Vincent…I’m bad with names. Anyway, he knows who I am and I know where he lives now. Lucky guy moved to Dorchester from Brookline and thinks we’re all a lot friendlier over in Dot…But that isn’t the point today (sorry Brooklinites, they don’t call the Green Line the Mean Line for nothing). Anyway, I caught up with Victor weaving in and out of the hopeless mess of traffic on Dot Ave that was stymied by today’s construction blockage. Whew! Anyway, here’s what I discovered today. Anyone thinking to DRIVE up Dot Ave until the construction is finished should think of another way to go there. My plaints earlier about no bike chevron guy doesn’t matter to the regular cyclist…at least Victor who rides Dot Ave every day had never noticed the sign on the dotbike flickr site at all (of course he waded through the red) Finally, there should be some accomodation for bicycles on the 4th Street bridge and for that matter on East Berkley Street (as it is called on the South End side) all the way to the Back Bay! Cars are crammed in and they dart quickly when given any space. There is space available there. So? What’s the plan? Connecting that would integrate a lot of bike routes from Dot Ave in the East to Comm Ave heading east and west… Just thinking, so if anyone is advocating for that part of the world check it out and you’re sure to agree.
