About this project


This project is being developed by LivableStreets Alliance with funding from a REI/Bicycle Friendly Communities Grant received in Spring 2009. Currently, this project is being coordinated with two cities, Boston and Cambridge, MA. Requests collected with this tool are compiled on a regular basis and provided to the bicycle programs for the two cities as a free service, and they take the requests from there. We do not provide a tracking service for requests. The cities have agreed to incorporate these requests into their database. Please contact the cities directly if you want to followup on your request.

 

NOTE: Currently, this service is only provided within Boston and the City of Cambridge, MA.
