Wider bikes lanes?

Category: 8. Where an improvement is need bridge improvement or new bridge

Used in the following map:

Boston Bicycle Network Plan

Mass ave bridge is overly wide. It doesn't really need two lanes dedicated to cars in both directions, as it's reasonably quiet. The bike lane is very narrow and given cars treat the bridge like a drag strip, quite un-nerving. Removing one car lane and making the bikelane wider would calm the traffic and make the bridge safer and more attractive to bikes and peds.
