I don't know if this is the right bucket, but I'd like to request flex posts, bollards, or some other vertical separation of the bike lane on Hampshire St between Portland St & Broadway. I often find cars ignore lane markings and larger vehicles (buses, trucks, etc) have trouble not dragging the rear wheels through the bike lane while making the tight turn to approach the intersection with Broadway.
How can we make this small section of road safer for cyclists?

Providing vertical separation would require fully reconfiguring the travel lanes, bike lanes, and parking, removing between 60 and 100 percent of the on-street spaces. Projects such as these require extensive public involvement and a detailed design process. The City is currently engaging in an update to the bike plan which will include a prioritization process for these projects; the results of that analysis should be published in the near future.
We will keep this and other requests in mind in developing future projects in the City.
Thank you for your report.
