Boston to install protected bike lane at site of Louisa Gag's fatal crash
Boston officials announced that construction will begin Tuesday on safety upgrades at the Tremont and Parker Streets intersection in Mission Hill, where city transportation planner Louisa Gag was killed by a truck in July. The project includes a parking-protected bike lane, new white paint for visibility, and restricted left turns. While the family of the victim expressed gratitude, they urged the city to act with greater urgency to meet its Vision Zero goals. Advocates called the move a positive step but demanded broader state legislation for truck safety.
