A work task has been assigned for this issue.

Maybe we can get Joe Barr to take it with him.

Why do we need a “bus only” lane at 10+pm when there is no traffic at that time or from 1am to 5am when there are no buses even running at that time. The bus only lane may be useful from 7-9:00am for incoming and 4-6:00pm for outgoing traffic. Then again the enforcement is far and few between.

@Bob, agree about lack of enforcement. One morning this week I counted 10 cars that zoomed up the "bus lane" between Jack's gas and Newman Street at approximately 8:30 am. Not a single one got pulled over. Why are the rest of the drivers sitting in barely-moving traffic if that lane is not really an enforced bus lane? It also makes it difficult and dangerous to get into the middle and right hand lanes at Gladstone to take a right onto Alewife or go straight into Arlington.
