Yeah I've seen the cars on Brattle as well. Certainly a design issue; during the rest of the year there needs to be a bollard there to keep cars out, but they also could have done some curb work to make it too small for a car to enter.

I'm surprised the bidirectional was considered bad at Huron but acceptable at Concord. I haven't really figured out the right way to head into the square yet

I know at the first snow I saw the garden lanes got blocked by the plow, but I'm sure it was fixed later. It's more just about needing to clear twice as many lanes. i am always surprised to hear the mix of "I commute" and "it's great to see kids on this". But maybe I'm a grouchy old man who doesnt like ducking wrong way bikers or tots heh

Young athletic dudes like myself alone don't get better infrastructure. The more kids and parents and older people and etc. riding, the more biking just becomes the best way to get around. So yeah, it's great to see everyone out riding, especially in the winter. And I commute on a bluebike, so even though I go relatively fast with them, it's not like I'm racing for my commute.
