Party City - Quincy Center - Quincy, MA Planning a trip to Boston Foursquare can help you find the best places to go to. "What is always challenging is that we are an old city with very narrow roads, so it gets difficult on some of our streets, but I think our traffic, parking, alarm and lighting division has done a great job with what they have," Koch said. Despite her criticisms and plans to continue to push for change, she said she feels that Mayor Koch has always seen the benefits of encouraging various types of transit. She said most people don't know how to access certain parts of Quincy by bike, and some intersections are still extremely dangerous for both bikers and pedestrians and there can never be enough protective bike ways in the city. Lutts says the city has a long way to go. "I think it is so powerful to see this group of people who care coming together to make real change," group member Anna Sangre said. Lifelong Quincy resident Jeanne Ragusa said being a member of Quincycles for the past five years has showed her a variety of new, safer routes to take in the city. Last year, when the pandemic canceled a planned trip to Canada, Lutts instead biked almost every single street in the city. Lutts said the city of Quincy is "eminently bikeable" - everyone in the city lives within 3 miles of an MBTA station - but without bike-specific infrastructure, it can be scary and confusing. We want to make transportation and our streets something that works for everyone." "Anytime we look at doing a road over, doing an intersection over, we look at drivers, bikers and walkers to see how we can make it work for everyone without, really, screwing up the traffic flow too much.

The city recently received $350,000 from the state's Complete Streets program to pay for three projects, two of which are bicycle related. Since then, buffered bike lanes have been installed on Quarry and Coddington streets, as well as Quincy Avenue. "We are getting it done, little by little," Lutts said. Members of the group still celebrated with a bike ride. The lane was installed over the winter and Lutts said she remembers it being 12 degrees at the time. Members of Quincycles serve with others on the commission and over the last eight years have worked hand-in-hand with city leaders to bring the city's first bike lane to Adams Street in 2014.

The group began nine years ago as a small gathering at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Quincycles works with the city to promote safety for bicyclists and safe practices for riders.
