Mayor Pledges ‘Immediate’ Action After Somerville Resident Killed In Door-Zone Bike Lane

A Google Street View image of Broadway in Somerville near the site where Stephen Conley crashed. The roadway includes two parking lanes against the curbs, two travel lanes for cars, and two green-painted bike lanes in between the parking and moving vehicle lanes. In the middle distance is a traffic light at the intersection of Packard Avenue. The bike lanes do not continue beyond that intersection.

Somerville police believe that the victim, identified as Stephen Conley, 70, of Somerville, was traveling westbound in the painted bike lane on Broadway when a driver in the adjacent parking lane opened the door of his Land Rover into Conley’s path.
