I bike everyday down this road. Some of the closest calls for me have been after the BU bridge heading towards west campus where the road funnels you to the cars parked on the side. Putting a bike lane that at least covers this section is imperative. The closest calls I have experienced have been with city bus drivers and even the BU BUS. Recently the BU BUS at that funnel after the bridge forced me to either get hit by the bus, or slam into the cars that were parked on the side. It was a very close call. I tried to catch up to get a bus number and report him. Any discussion you might have, don't forget to brief your own aggressive BUS drivers and city bus drivers as well. They routinely blow by you at maybe a foot to spare.
