#boston @wutrain.bsky.social build it and they will come. Protected lanes will even attract ppl who are scared of biking. Build them for our accessibility challenged folks...build them for our kids, for our environment, to save the average person money, and to increase city revenue to businesses

Thank YOU @mayorwu.boston.gov! it's been impressive to watch the difference in the snow response by the city on this storm particularly around crosswalks & bus stops. And the communication you provide is so helpful ❀️

Would you be able to improve the @311.boston.gov responses as well? Tickets from

Eyes On the Street: Three Weeks After the Storm, Snow Woes Remain Across Greater Boston - Streetsblog Massachusetts In my trips around Boston and its suburbs this week, it’s clear that cities and property owners are still struggling to cope with the snow, even though it’s been nearly three weeks since the storm tha...

If the City Won’t, We Will: How we moved Boston to plow the bike lanes - Boston Cyclists Union Snow removal, for street, our bike lane, or our sidewalks, is urgently needed, especially after historic snow storms like Boston just recently experienced.. Everybody who uses Boston’s roads feels thi...

"We simply want bike lanes and bike paths that can be used when it stops snowing.

Nowhere in Boston will you find a street that becomes a dead end because of an enormous pile of snow, or intersections that become impassable because of the snow."

We need speed safety cameras NOW! Police say they're understaffed, and traffic enforcement seems to be a low priority for them.

"Everyone must be in high-viz all the time" is a great way to victim blame and shift the focus from dangerous drivers and poor infrastructure. Unfortunately it doesn't actually make anyone safer.

This is a fantastic analysis of a truly ridiculous proposal.

β€˜We’ve got it backwards.’ Cameras are everywhere in Mass. So why can’t they catch speeders? - The Boston Globe Advocates and lawmakers are pushing a collection of proposals that would allow cameras to catch speeding drivers in Massachusetts.

Yes, Massachusetts needs to legalize traffic enforcement cameras. The bills do an excellent job of addressing privacy concerns, the fees are low and go to the car not the driver, as it is license plate based

This law will save lives #AutomateSafeStreetsMass

This is the second week in a row where I took matters into my own hands because Wu doesn't care about cyclists. I was only able to do a single block, so imagine what a mayor of a large city could do! @mass.streetsblog.org @universalhub.com @bikeboston.bsky.social

This article by @boston.com mentions this interview with @wutrain.bsky.social. I listened to it as well and she simply ignored the question. #BikesAreTransportation and we've been shut down for weeks while the city pretends we don't exist. We exist!

Your weekly reminder - motor vehicle operation where other humans are encountered automatically induces sociopathy on a massive, widespread scale. To combat this public health crisis, we must seek to make places where MV operation is the last-choice exception in each travel decision, not the norm.

Here in snowy Beantown drivers get into fistfights over "saved" parking spaces. Meanwhile cyclists join together to make their commutes safer because the city hasn't.

@wutrain.bsky.social lets work with volunteers to create groups like these each season. Every section of the city if you asked and allowed to organize and provided cleaning tools i guarantee you would have ppl wanting to lend a hand to clear things out.
