Hello neighbors! *Thursday, March 17th, 7-9 pm*, we will talk about what else--safe bike lane construction, through and near Porter Square on Mass Ave. We will have heard from the city about their planning options and suggestions. (Make sure you attend the March 15 meeting, details below.) And think about attending the live event on the 19th in front of Lunder Art Center to give your informed feedback. *Our PSNA meeting *is meant to make sure we all understand the sections of Mass Ave and the timelines in question. It is confusing. We hope to address the concerns of all of the stakeholders, AND the physical facts of the Avenue, it's width, its character at various points, the issues involved in pulling up the median to gain extra room, the give and take that will be required to retain the character of our neighborhoods and keep our local businesses and allow bicycle commuters and enthusiasts to travel safely. The *MassAveforAll working group* is made up of members of Cambridge Bike Safety, local business owners, a representative from Livablestreets, local residents, as well as a representative of PSNA. We have also asked* Councillor Paul Toner* to join us as he has been working on these same issues. It is not our intent to argue, or pit one group against another. We may not all agree, but we can all be considerate and thoughtful. This is our Avenue, our neighborhood. Let's make sure we are knowledgeable, think deeply, and tell our elected officials as well as our city officials what we need to maintain and what we need to change. The zoom link will be sent mid next week.
