Cambridge Bicycle Safety @cambbikesafety.bsky.social · Apr 18

Broadway is a dangerous street for people walking and biking. The City plans to install separated bike lanes + other safety improvements in 2025-26. However, the "Save Broadway Parking Coalition" wants to kill this project.

Sign and show your support for safety: actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...

A photo of at least 7 cyclists stopped at a red light on Broadway in Cambridge, their backs to the camera. Text overlaid at the top left corner reads, "Support the Broadway separated bike lane project."

Just hours before we climbed Capitol Hill for Lobby Day at our 2025 National Bike Summit, the U.S. Department of Transportation called for a review of federal investments in biking. The timing couldn’t have been clearer: now, more than ever, we need to show up and speak out.
