To the Brookline Transportation Board and Town Officials,
We, the undersigned residents and community members, urge the Town of Brookline to maintain curb parking access to serve the needs of our residents as you consider the installation of protected bike lanes along our street. While we appreciate and support safe biking infrastructure, we have serious concerns about the unintended consequences of removing curb access and its negative, daily impact on residents and our community.
We call on the Brookline Transportation Board to reconsider the flex post installation where it impacts curb access for residents and visitors to Warren Field and engage in meaningful discussions with us to develop a more balanced solution. We support pedestrian safety and traffic calming measures that take into account the needs of all community members, especially those who live along the street.
We invite officials to observe the street firsthand, speak with residents, and possibly assess alternative bike lane locations that would be more effective without disrupting daily life on Chestnut Hill Avenue.
By signing below, we express our opposition to the proposal, as currently written, regarding the flex-post demarcated bicycle lane and the difficulty in maintaining curb access, and our commitment to working collaboratively toward a more effective and inclusive solution.
