How many auto mobile Traffic lanes are they going to replace with bike lanes?
Closing off Charles River Road at the square is a horrible idea for all the residents. I use that road all the time to get out of the square quickly when I come out of Galen or Watertown streets. Closing it will force every resident to go up already busy Arsenal and North Beacon Street. These two roads are already nightmares to deal with which is why Residents need and USE Charles River Road.
