Bicycle Benefits
• Delineated lanes encourage safe, predictable
behavior by all users and reduce conflicts
• Bike lanes consistent with existing and planned
network; and facilitate future connectivity
• Design reflects Audubon Circle as key crossroads
for cyclist activity (Emerald Necklace/BU
Bridge/Brookline/Downtown)
