The project will put a dedicated bike lane on the southbound side of Boylston Street from Massachusetts Avenue to Hereford Street. Then, the bike lane switches to the northbound side from Hereford Street all the way to Arlington Street. Starting at Ring Road, Boylston Street will also have a dedicated bus lane, limiting car traffic to only one lane between Ring Road and Dartmouth Street during rush hour.
"I think the issue is really going to be that you're going from three lanes to two in many areas, and you're going to have a lot of people double parking," said one driver on Boylston Street Tuesday.
