Description
Opportunities to cross Broadway on the river-side of this intersection are few and short, especially during peak-commute hours when dozens of people are exiting the Kendall T station.
It causes difficulties for people on bike to have that many people on foot crowding the bike lane, looking for a gap in traffic to cross against the light. Several times people on foot are found crossing against the light or waiting in the bike lane to find an adequate gap to cross.

I think the signal cycle is sufficient. The problem is rude commuter pedestrians not considering the possibility of bikes. In my experience bikes are happy to slow or stop when the walk signal is on, but are understandably irked when jaywalkers who can see that no cars are coming proceed without thinking about the bike lanes. We need a "Share the road" sign with bike and pedestrian instead of bike and car, turned 90 degrees and situated in the median. ;-)
I suspect Drwr is mainly concerned about the westbound bike lane? Strictly speaking, that may be Main Street, not sure.
