RozzieBikes is a neighborhood organization devoted to making the Roslindale
neighborhood of Boston a better place to bike. We're interested in street
improvements, bike parking, bike routes, bike lanes, and mixed-use paths.
A network of bicycle routes, lanes, and paths is growing which can connect
cyclists and their destinations to make bicycling a more desirable
transportation option. An advantage of the bicycle is that the road
system can be used to bridge uncompleted portions of the network, so
there is no need to wait until the system is "complete". The network
grazes the edges of Roslindale as the Emerald Necklace, the Southwest
Corridor, and Stony Brook Reservation. We need to connect the neighborhood!
Keep Informed!
