It says Bike Lane Closed!

It's illegal to close a lane of traffic without a police officer being there to direct traffic.

Thank you for reporting your concern to City of Cambridge via SeeClickFix. We have reviewed the information you provided our staff and will be investigating this issue further.

Guess they have a reason, or signs would not be there. Its not all about you!

You're right, it isn't about me. It's about following the law which requires a police officer to be present to direct traffic whenever a lane of traffic is closed which is due to public safety. Don't you care about public safety?

Why would the city just leave them there for no reason..I also care about pedestrians have trouble walking across the road when there is a red light and bikes fly thru almost hitting someone. Why dont bikes follow the rules???

Pat, why do you not care about the law? It's the LAW that when you close a lane of traffic a police officer is required to be there at all times to direct trafic.

This issue was recategorized from Bike Lane Obstruction to Construction Complaint.

City of Cambridge assigned this issue to Public Works - KS (Community Relations)

Thank you for reporting this issue to us. I have reached out to our inspector and he informed me that their is proper signage for the cyclist to understand road patterns. As long as the contractor call in for a police detail, that is all that is required. The bike lane will be opened again once the contractor finalizes the exterior work. Which should be in a few weeks, weather permitting.

There has *never* been a police detail here. Therefore this blockage is illegal and must immediately be moved. We will escalate this to the our elected reps if the city doesn't take immediate action.

Hi, proper signage is in place that the bike lane is closed due to the permitted exterior work. Details do not always get filled. This section of the bike lane will reopen when the exterior work is completed.

Any lane enclosure requires police presence for traffic control

Its all about captain cyclists. Who cares about construction in the city, who cares? The captain is so intitled! What about bikes going thru red lights? Not following the rules of the road, motorcycles on bike paths. Guess its ok with the captain...

"intitled" LOL
