Hammond St- add sharrows

Request summary

Hammond Street, which is the only route to the Chestnut Hill T station, has no bicycle infrastructure at all and no shoulder. Bicyclists must ride in the vehicle travel lane, but drivers honk at them, pass too close and act annoyed

Location

Description / Need

Hammond Street is very narrow and cars exceed the speed limit. Bicyclists must ride in the travel lane, but motorists need to be educated to share the road and not pass too close. This is the only route to the Chestnut Hill T station and to other parts of Newton. Ideally there would be “share the road” and “bicycles use full lane” signage, too
