Description
All of Broadway - from Arlington to Boston - requires lane lines, bike lanes, parking spaces, and additional traffic markings. The worst area is along Trum Field where cars sometimes drive three abreast and bicyclists are forced to the curb. Hopefully, the City of Somerville can produce the thorough markings as they have done around Bow Street in Union Square.

Why the city leaves the area without lane lines is beyond me. You have one lane that devolves into three lane anarchy all with a crosswalk in the middle of it all. Add the occasional errant softball flying into the street.
We could have parking spots, a painted bike lane, and a single wide lane of traffic both ways with a shared middle lane for left turns. Or anarchy.
