Older Bicycle Facility Projects
The City of Cambridge continually evaluates locations where large and small scale bicycle infrastructure improvements can be made to increase safety and meet our Vision Zero goals. This page highlights older completed bicycle facility improvement projects, but it is not an exhaustive summary of all bicycle improvements.

South Massachusetts Avenue Corridor Safety Improvements Project
The South Massachusetts Avenue Corridor Safety Improvements Project was a "quick-build" project on Massachusetts Avenue between Sydney Street and Memorial Drive focusing on safety and accessibility, and features separated bike lanes in both directions for the majority of the corridor. Other changes include:
- Signal timing changes at intersections to reduce conflicts and crashes
- Sections of bus lane toward Memorial Drive
- A new crosswalk across Massachusetts Avenue at Windsor Street, completed in 2020.
