So, I've noticed a lot of bike lanes popping up on the streets of Somerville lately. While I wholeheartedly applaud the effort, they seem to me to have been done haphazardly. Kinda like they're almost in the middle of the car lane? On Powderhouse Blvd. and Cameron Ave. for example, there seems to be barely enough room, if clearly not enough room, for a car to safely pass a cyclist in the new bike lanes. Has anyone else seen them? It's like, maybe if they had moved them closer to the sidewalk a foot or so, there would be plenty of room for bikes and cars, but it seems the city made an error in it's effort...
