How Bike-Friendly is West Roxbury?
The Hubway bicycle program is adding 11 new station around Boston, none in the Parkway area. Is it a matter of West Roxbury not being bike-friendly?
The Hubway Bike Program is adding 11 new stations around Boston, none of which are in the Parkway area.
New stations are to be added in Roxbury, Dorchester, Charlestown, Allston, and in the downtown core of Boston.
The listed neighborhoods have more car traffic compared to West Roxbury, but are not greater tourist spots. So why not adding a Hubway station to West Roxbury? Would the neighborhood not use the bicycles, or would people not use them to pedal into West Roxbury?
And how bike-friendly is West Roxbury? The neighborhood roads seem to be good to ride through due to few cars, but how are our main thoroughfares for bicycling? Particularly Centre and Spring streets? Dare I ask - how's biking on the VFW Parkway?
