An Alternative to the Inman Square Peanut Proposal

I have posted comments about the proposal for a “peanut roundabout” in Inman Square, and other proposals for the Square, on the Cambridge Civic Forum blog. I think that the City’s “bend Cambridge Street” proposal — with a minor modification to make bicycling safer and more convenient — is the best one which has any political traction. The image below is of the “bend Cambridge Street” proposal. My modification would have bicyclists continue straight ahead (into the blue area in the drawing) where Cambridge Street bends left, so as to have to wait for only one traffic signal, facing straight into the intersection.
