Hi All - As part of an effort in Belmont, I am looking for examples of cycle tracks and protected bicycle lanes used on residential streets.  Example photo attached --- though I am not exclusively looking for contra-flow examples like this.

Does anyone happen to know of such examples, preferably in Massachusetts?

This link has a map of several that may fit this category in Cambridge, but I have not found any photos of them yet:

If anyone happens to have a photo of any of these locations in Cambridge you could send me, or know more about them, would very much appreciate the info.

Thanks!
Jeff Roth

Google has removed the files feature from Groups, which of course
means we've lost the rules file. I'll reshuffle them into a welcome
message but they're pasted below (copy/paste from original rules
posting). I consider this subject to be within the bounds but a good
opportunity for a reminder.

To maintain everyone's sanity, there are two rules, which will be
enforced with polite requests first and banhammer second:

1) Be polite. Avoiding four-letter words and comments on someone's
ancestry is only part of this. Equally important are not attributing
malice just because someone disagrees, and knowing when to drop a
subject. This is a discussion list, not Monty Python's "Argument"
sketch.

2) Abstract facilities discussions/arguments are verboten. If you've
got something specific to say about a specific project, or even a
specific concept, go for it! But if there's no practical purpose,
don't go stirring up the fire.

Examples of not-allowed:
Bike lanes suck!
Bike lanes rock!
If we build facilities everywhere, we will enter a blissful utopia!
If we build any facilities whatsoever, everyone will die!
Forester is a prophet!
Forester is a moron!

Examples of allowed:
What's this business about bike lanes and "right hooks"? What are the
issues? How can they be avoided?
I'm really uncomfortable crossing Cambridge St. on the PDW path. Is
there a good way to deal with this intersection?
The Watertown Branch path from School St. to Grove is finished! (yes,
I wish....) [2019: Well, good things do occasionally happen?]

I hope the distinction is clear.
