@BrooklineTAB @brkInteractive I think the laptop browser didn't like my mobile FB link, and FB didn't like that I want logged in with a FB account. So not great for ppl who don't use FB.

@BrooklineTAB @brkInteractive Will the recording of this meeting be available on your YouTube channel soon? It's been really hard to follow because of the technical issues. Thanks!

[ACT Brookline @ActBrookline]

@BrooklineTAB @brkInteractive I think it was bc I'd sent a https://t.co/lCidEXajmV link to my laptop bc it wouldn't play on the browser on my phone. I don't have the FB app.

[ACT Brookline @ActBrookline]

@BrooklineTAB @brkInteractive Just its not being on YouTube... And I don't use FB so had to hunt down my laptop so missed a bunch... Then my FB feed just stopped at 1pt...

Would you ditch your car if public transport was free? Here's what researchers have found. https://t.co/Ay5Mjprdcf via @ConversationUK

@SkepticJosh @BlineTransport @carsNbikelane @MattyCiii @CSBrookline Don't forget enforcement of posted "No Right on Red" at intersections, too. Drivers who ignore these signs endanger crossing pedestrians & contribute to a general sense of unease & vulnerability about humans sharing public ways with motor vehicles. These rules exist for a reason!

Times & schedule for the entire @MBTA D line are incorrect today. Sign at the stop said 16 min wait, but trolley arrived 1 min later. @transitapp is being fed bad info too so it's not accurate either. Not sure what's up, but travel planning will be a challenge today!

"So many times the voices that we hear are not the voices of the transit riders, the 10s of 1000s of transit riders. It tends to be the loud voices of opposition... It’s easy to be frightened of something you haven’t seen before.”

"Pedestrian fatalities on US roads have increased by more than 50% over the past decade, while deaths of people riding in cars, trucks& other vehicles remained essentially unchanged...the highest# in more than 3 decades... underscores a historic reversal."

Curious about the @MBTA's
#BetterBusProject for improving systemwide service? This Mar 10th event also includes info on the #BusNetworkRedesign, an initiative to re-imagine the network, meet regional travel needs, &
create a better experience for riders.

@brkInteractive Maybe it's all captured there on the video & the live feed was just getting interrupted. I hope so! Thanks again...

[ACT Brookline @ActBrookline]

Good evening, @brkInteractive... just checking in about the live feed of the Select Board meetings? Sound was off last week, and it's way off again this week, plus now the video feed is cutting in and out.

[ACT Brookline @ActBrookline]

@brkInteractive Hi, it was the YouTube stream. 1 person would be talking, then suddenly it'd cut to another person talking, with some period of time just vanishing in between. That might've been related to the live feed aspect though?

Should Massachusetts adopt congestion pricing? UEP alum @juliawallerce says "yes" in a Boston Globe opinion piece: "There’s no denying that congestion in Greater Boston has become a crisis." Read more: https://t.co/ClcKQybY9E

Let's toss these economic data onto the huge & growing pile of great reasons to develop Complete Streets.

Designing for biking & walking has an estimated return on investment of $11.80 for each $1 invested. Just one of 50 reasons why everyone should want more walkable streets. Via ⁦@FastCompany⁩ https://t.co/L9qdJ2jqic
