"It's easy to focus on what's on the bridge, but when you get off the bridge, we have these conflicts with right turning cars," Furth said, noting that sometimes 300 cars turn onto Commonwealth Avenue in an hour.
"We're going to kind of reorient how many lanes there are on the bridge, changing it to two right lanes and one through lane beginning this fall," Monacelli stated regarding the upcoming modifications.
Advocates had warned for years that the BU Bridge corridor was unsafe, and now state and city officials are planning long-term safety solutions following a tragic accident involving a cyclist.
Peter Furth explained that the group is advocating for traffic signal updates which will provide safer conditions for cyclists by separating car turn signals from their green lights.
