Description

Tractor trailer obstructing the cycle track & bus stop. Stopped in the rain to call CPD as this is super dangerous. Not visible in the photograph is the liftgate right at cyclists' head height, making this obstruction far more dangerous than most.

CPD allegedly sent a police officer though I didn't stick around in the rain to see what happened.

If this is a common occurrence can Cambridge please work with the area businesses to make shared use of the massive loading dock behind 1 Hampshire St?

Finally, sure, the bollards were not yet installed, but they would not have helped here. If the bollards were installed they would have also prevented me from safely merging back into the cycle track, so I would have had to just take the lane.
