Summary
A removable summer pilot will add curb extensions, pedestrian refuge islands, truck loading zones, and parklets between Dana Street and Franklin Street, where four of 14 recent injury crashes involved bikes or pedestrians. Surveys show pedestrians feel unsafe and invisible; the city wants committee endorsement before installing in late July.
