Although the remaining six approaches along the project do not meet the quantitative criteria, XXX does feel that qualitative safety criteria are satisfied at all approaches and that increased conflict between vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists would result with the elimination of left turn lanes along this project.

Such injunction should remain in effect unless and until defendantsâ re-design, re-engineer, or otherwise alter their proposed construction documents so as to incorporate âALL (emphasis added) reasonable provisions for the accommodation of bicycle and pedestrian uses in⌠[the MassAve reconstruction project]â, as required by (and quoting from) §2A.â
