BOSTON — State transportation overseers on Monday gave the go-ahead for a $20.4 million reconstruction along Commonwealth Avenue between Brookline and Boston, which will include building cycle tracks along the roadway.
About 35,000 vehicles travel the roadway every day, along with 27,000 passengers making use of four Green Line stops, and 30,000 pedestrians, according to MassDOT. About 3,000 cyclists used the road daily in 2014, according to the state.
The sun and sand of Boston area beaches will be preserved in bits and bytes through a collaboration between Google and Save the Harbor/Save the Bay.
Google Maps Street View takes web surfers on 360-degree visits to sites around the world, including the pyramids at Giza and the Incan ruins at Machu Picchu.
