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.

the MBTA's official detour map for the Orange Line shutdown, illustrating closed subway stops on the Orange and Green Lines, dashed lines indicating alternative shuttle service (between Forest Hills and Back Bay and Copley to the south, and between Oak Drove and Government Center to the north). To cross downtown Boston, riders will need to transfer from shuttles to the Green Line at Government Center or Copley, ride the Green Line a few stops, then transfer back to another shuttle on the other side.
