Three new trail projects in Boston's suburbs are poised to open for traffic in early 2021: the Cochituate Rail Trail in Natick, the Cambridge-Watertown Greenway, and the extension of the Northern Strand Trail in Revere, Saugus, and Lynn.
The proposal would benefit the town's busiest bus corridor, a heavily-congested bottleneck where three busy bus routes converge near the Boston border.
One silver lining to the recent snow: it's left thousands of "sneckdowns," places where snowbanks have narrowed down the roadway and forced cars to slow down considerably (a "snow neckdown").
Malden, in collaboration with the MBTA and MassDOT, has painted a red shared bus-and-bike lane on Florence Street northeast of the Malden Center Orange Line station to benefit the MBTA's routes 104, 105, and 99.
