Bike path reroute

[ceo]

I'm glad that they're rerouting the bike path around the Rite Aid parking lot. But the way they're doing it is kind of surprising:


This is a whole bunch of accidents waiting, not for very long, to happen. It's really tricky to navigate on a bike even at low speed with no other traffic.

And it doesn't need to be that way; they could have taken down those bollards and curved it through where the wood chips are. Possibly smoothing out the other transition would require sacrificing the nearmost parking space.

Yeah, well it is more of a general-use recreation path in reality, esp. in Somerville.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone else carry as much as you do on your trailer - I remember something about a chest freezer on Rte. 16 and that sounded like a winning entry in the bike trailer badass sweepstakes. :)
Plywood sheets...never would have thought of that.
