City streets projects, after a hiccup, taking shape. But advocates remain cautious.

Boston’s street-improvement projects are moving again after a long pause, but advocates say they’re still watching closely. In July, city planner Louisa Gag was killed while cycling, triggering grief, outrage, and renewed calls for safer roads. Protective posts were reinstalled on downtown bike lanes, Blue Hill Avenue is advancing with a large-scale overhaul, and plans are underway for new Bluebikes stations in Roslindale, West Roxbury, and Hyde Park. Officials also installed protected bike lanes and other safety changes on a Mission Hill block after Gag’s death. Advocates note progress in the embattled Streets Cabinet, aided by interim chief of streets Chris Osgood, but want a detailed prioritization plan, clear timelines, and confirmation of who will lead next.
