Project Updates

Schedule Update

In our original project schedule, we planned to finalize design plans this fall. We're expanding outreach efforts and lengthening our timeline to ensure we reach as many people as possible. We now plan to finalize designs and install separated bike lanes in 2024.

Separated bike lanes on Main Street between Portland Street and Albany Street

Next month, the Ragon Institute will begin installing separated bike lanes on Main Street between Portland Street and Albany Street (the block to the east of the Main Street Safety Improvement Project area). This work is part of their Planning Board Special Permit requirements.

The north side of the street (headed toward Mass Ave) will have quick-build separated bike lanes (paint and white posts). The south side of the street (headed toward Kendall Square) will have fully-constructed bike lanes at sidewalk level. Click here for project plans submitted to the City.

The Port Infrastructure Improvements Project

The Port Infrastructure Improvements Project will replace water, sewer, and drain lines in much of The Port neighborhood. Once these lines are replaced, many streets and sidewalks will be reconstructed. Design work for the roadways is ongoing. The project will impact the streets north of Main Street.
