Sagamore Bridge plan adds two bike, pedestrian railroad crossings
Two new railroad crossings are planned on the south side of the Cape Cod Canal to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety as part of the new $2.1 billion Sagamore Bridge construction plans . The state will hold a hearing on the proposal on Wednesday, Nov. 4, in Bourne. Along the canal's south side is a 6 1/2-mile paved service road that is also a bicycle and walking trail . Parallel to the service road are railroad tracks, and south of the tracks are neighborhoods and main roadways. Currently, pedestrians and bicyclists cross the railroad tracks at informal or unauthorized locations that lack appropriate safety protections, according to the state Department of Transportation. The hearing will be held with MassDOT staff and the Barnstable County Board of Regional Commissioners. MassDOT requested the hearing so the county board can determine whether the proposed crossings “should be required as public necessity and convenience,” according to the county notice. The purpose of the new crossings is to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety, accessibility and connections to the Cape Cod Canal South Service Road, according to the notice. The proposed crossings would be at Mid-Cape Connector at Sandwich Road and Keith Field Recreation Area, at

Boston's Speed Hump Promise Stalls Out, Leaving Neighbors to Dodge Cut-Through Traffic
Boston set a goal of expanding traffic calming on neighborhood streets, but residents in Jamaica Plain and the South End say they still lack clear answers about when their streets will be considered. On Allendale Street, a wooded 25 mph road on the Brookline–Jamaica Plain border, the city installed speed humps and later removed them at Mayor Michelle Wu’s direction.
