Eyes On the Street: Two New Back Bay Bikeways

Tremont Street in the South End. In the right foreground is a newly-installed median island paved in bricks and ringed by a granite curb and topped with an orange construction barrel. In the background a pedestrian crosses the street among more construction barrels. On the right, a bicycle rider passes in the opposite lane. Historic brick rowhomes line both sides of the street.

Tremont Street Safety Project Isn’t Complete, But Crashes Are Already Plummeting

Orange construction barrels surround a newly-constructed median island surrounded by parked cars on the left and moving vehicles to the right. Two pedestrians are stepping off the island to cross the street, which is lined with multi-story apartment buildings. In the distance on the horizon are visible the Prudential Center and other skyscrapers in Back Bay.

Eyes On the Street: Some Curb Appeal In Dorchester and the South End

A pedestrian crosses Tremont Street in a new crosswalk. In the foreground is a newly-installed median island, about the size of a parked car, that is paved in bricks and ringed by a granite curb. To its left are two lanes for two-way car traffic; to its right is an asphalt-paved bike lane, and a second curb at the right edge of the photo delineates the street's sidewalk. A smaller granite curb island is located at the far side of the crosswalk, and two other pairs of islands in a similar configuration protect the crosswalk on the opposite side of the intersection. Historic brick rowhomes line both sides of the street. In the distance is a church steeple.
