I agree. I was originally worried that they were going to prevent bikes from entering the Rite Aid parking lot with a high curb, but they didn't do that. The path for pedestrians is a nice addition. I've never really felt this particular area was dangerous for cyclists - maybe I'll feel differently when my son is old enough to ride his own bike through there.

I'm way more excited to see how the work Cambridge is doing where the bike path crosses Mass Ave is going to turn out.
