SUMMARY:Nov 19: Dotbike Social Ride! Edward Everett Square to Lower Mills
DESCRIPTION:Come meet\, ride\, chat with\, and get to know your fellow Dotbikers!\n\n\n\nClapp’s Favorite Pear statue\n\n\n\nJoin Dotbike for an easy social pace ride from Clapp’s Favorite Pear statue at Edward Everett Square\, to The Bowery Bar. Or just meet us there afterward for food\, drinks\, and conversation. This is intended to be a relaxed\, fun ride\, and social gathering of folks interested in bikes\, cycling\, and safe streets\, rather than a “serious business” and organizing event. Bring your lights\, we’ll be riding after sunset. Or email us if you’re lacking lights and we’ll try to find some for you! Gather the Pear at 5:15\, roll-out at 5:30. \n\n\n\nWe’ll have a short bit on Columbia Road\, take the lane through Kosciuszco Circle to Day Boulevard\, where we’ll join the Boston Harborwalk to the Neponset River Greenway. Late rally point at the “mural tunnel” under I-93\, just south of Pope John Paul II park\, at approximately 5:50(?). We’ll ride for about an hour total\, with a stop for a photo at the Harvest River Bridge before returning to the street near Baker’s Chocolate Factory in Lower Mills to head to the The Bowery. Bike racks are a bit sparse\, but there is a long metal fence on the next corner at the CVS. \n\n\n\nAn RSVP below would be super helpful for us to manage arrangements at The Bowery! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			More\n				Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n				Mastodon\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)\n				Nextdoor\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print

SUMMARY:Neponset Greenway Ride
DESCRIPTION:Join DotBike for a recreational ride on the Neponset River Greenway\nSaturday Oct 3 we’ll gather in the parking lot\, near the gazebo\, at Pope John Paul II Park which is sort of behind the Neponset Car Wash. This is on a multi-use path\, so a very relaxed pace of 10-12 mph. We’ll be respectful of other path users on foot at all times. \nSee the Ride With GPS route on the website for route details. It’s a rail trail\, so it’s not hilly. The final little out and back bit is a dirt/gravel path. You can skip that if you like! \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			More\n				Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n				Mastodon\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)\n				Nextdoor\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print

SUMMARY:Blue Hill Ave Town Hall in Dorchester
DESCRIPTION:DotBike and the Blue Hill Ave Project\nDotBike is focused on ensuring that the biking infrastructure created through this project is as sensible\, comprehensive\, low-stress\, and connected to other biking and multi-use trail infrastructure as it can be.  We encourage you to attend and testify in person\, or submit your feedback online to support these goals: \n\nMore connected shared use path along Franklin Park \n\nClose the one-block gap between Glenway and Columbia\nContinuing the shared use path along Seaver St\n\n\nSouth terminus of bike path at Woodhaven St a. Either extend the bike path one block south to Fremont St for a more direct connection to Neponset b. Or make Babson St a low traffic\, traffic calmed neighborhood slow street to enable a low-stress connection to Neponset and Mattapan Square\nExtensive traffic calming on general purpose lanes in Mattapan Square and on the north end of the project in front of Mother Caroline (between Seaver and Warren) a. Since protected bike lanes were removed in these high-foot traffic areas\, they should at least provide raised crossings here to prevent excessive vehicle speeds. Not ideal\, but this project will not move forward if the city comes out and removes the parking they added back in.\nFully connect the bike path to Neponset River Trail \nContinue the bike path to Columbia Road (this will be huge once they start working a redesign for Columbia in terms of enabling safe commuting and green space access around Dorchester\n\nBlue Hill Ave – Boston Transportation Department and the MBTA\nThe Blue Hill Avenue Investment Plan seeks to enhance and support the experiences of everyone along the Avenue. \nBlue Hill Avenue runs through the heart of the City\, connecting people with places of education\, worship\, and recreation both locally and throughout Boston. It is a vibrant commercial corridor full of bustling minority-owned businesses. The corridor provides vital access to and from the city’s major employment centers for Roxbury\, Dorchester\, and Mattapan residents. This three-mile stretch also supports the highest bus ridership in the entire MBTA system\, with nearly 37\,000 people getting on and off buses each weekday. \nThe MBTA is gathering feedback about the updated project design. You can view the proposed design block-by-block and tell us what you think using the form linked below: \nGIVE YOUR FEEDBACK \nFor more information\, please visit the MBTA’s Blue Hill Avenue project webpage.\nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			More\n				Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n				Mastodon\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)\n				Nextdoor\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print
