Maybe this project is related to the PLAN: South Boston Dorchester Avenue effort? www.bostonplans.org/planning-zon...

It looks like the increased parking enforcement on Centre Street West Roxbury is having an effect! (I've noticed a lot more bike lane tickets in the last week.) It also looks like it is affecting some friends of the police. It is pretty shameful that the police union would try to minimize this.

In West Rox, we've been trying to figure out what "block the bike lane" means when parking over the line into the buffer. A working rule that makes sense is whether both tires are on or outside the "outer" line of the buffer. In this photo, the rear car is OK, the front car should get a ticket.

Two cars are parked on Centre Street in West Roxbury MA. There is a parking-protected bike lane on the street, and the cars are parked in the designated spots. One of the cars (the one furthest away) has its tires completely in the buffer area of the bike lane.

A tweet from user @dril that says: "drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if it is bad or not,"

I believe these markings are for the new pedestrian ramp! www.boston.gov/departments/...

ADA Compliant Ramps
Our sidewalk construction program also consists of upgrading our pedestrian ramps to make them ADA compliant. While construction crews are working on ramps, we always make sure that there is access to homes and businesses. In 2021, part of a landmark agreement to make streets and sidewalks more accessible to people with mobility disabilities, the City of Boston agreed to construct and/or upgrade approximately 1600 curb ramps per year until every corner at a pedestrian crossing has an ADA-compliant curb ramps. With every resurfacing operation in the City of Boston, we bring adjacent ramps into ADA compliance and make sidewalk repairs as necessary.

West Roxbury Bluebike Update: we have seen a doubling of Bluebike rides in and around West Roxbury in the last year! Here's some bluebike data for the five "West Roxbury Bluebike Stations" between April 2023 through February 2025 (about 2 years)

Ride to/from West Roxbury Bluebike stations over 2 years, April 2023 through February 2025. The main takeaway is that the average number of rides per week has almost doubled from 60 to 118 between the first and second years!
