Vassar Street - 2004 and 2008

Complete
Written By Dani MacGregor

Vassar Street underwent a full reconstruction as part of a large-scale building project undertaken by MIT. As part of the development, the City redesigned a one-mile stretch of Vassar Street from Main St. to Audrey St. with east and westbound raised cycle tracks at sidewalk grade level. The cycle tracks, which are each 5 feet wide with 5 foot landscaped buffers separating the bikeway from parked cars, serve as a primary east-west route across the MIT campus for cyclists and as a connector to the Kendall Square area and the riverfront. The cycle track is primarily differentiated from the sidewalk by its material - asphalt edged with grey concrete pavers. The Vassar Street cycle track was constructed in two phases - the eastern portion in 2004 and the western portion in 2008.
