@graphingparking True, altho there are smart policy fixed to prevent that unintended consequence. The metric of impact can compare to status quo dev/plan rather than no dev

[Ella Wise @Ella__Wise]

@graphingparking And, SB 743 from 2013 requires developments, transpo infrastructure, and plans to reduce (or mitigate) VMT that they cause

[Ella Wise @Ella__Wise]

@graphingparking California does and has since 2008!

The Sustainable Comm & Climate Protection Act requires regional transpo/land use plans to meet GHG redux targets thru reducing auto dependence.

Any good sites that compare the day’s temp to historical averages?

It’s 58 degrees in Boston today, Feb 17. My body knows it’s wrong. I’d like to see how wrong it is.

[Ella Wise @Ella__Wise]

@cindycreem Well that’s a much more important place to do it—thank you!

[Ella Wise @Ella__Wise]

@tchu88 @CityOfBoston @MayorWu As a fellow transplant from the west coast, city planning wonk, & newbie to City Hall, welcome! So look forward to your work with the Mayor

[Ella Wise @Ella__Wise]

@cindycreem Yes! And land use and development patterns that make it easy to walk and use that transit!

[Ella Wise @Ella__Wise]

Highways are fossil fuel infrastructure.

Reminder that if IIJA is implemented poorly (status quo) then emissions will be higher than if we had left things alone.

@jfh @BostonBTD @BostonPWD Caught the last orange line home to green st last night and at 2 am, we saw 3 hard-working public servants shoveling snow off the platform and 3 plows salting the roads of our neighborhood. THANK YOU 🚞🛠❄️

@wutrain Love this idea! How about collect cuttings from Bostonians? Happy to share some of ours (both from climbing plant and hanging)

[Ella Wise @Ella__Wise]

Allowing multi family housing near transit is a climate strategy. 💡💡💡🚆🚲🚶🏼‍♀️🌎

Transportation is the largest source of emissions in MA. Reducing the need to drive is one of the most effective local climate strategies we have.
Yes! @clarkziegler @MAPCMetroBoston

[Will Nichols @WillNicholsRisk]

If SUVs were an individual country, they would rank sixth in the world for absolute emissions in 2021, emitting over 900 million tonnes of CO2

Incredible 🚗 stat from @IEA https://t.co/81mrZQeQJJ

[Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) @MAPCMetroBoston]

With a new requirement to build multifamily housing near train stations, cities and towns served by the MBTA have the opportunity to create more equitable, accessible, and sustainable communities. #mapoli

Paper straws and reusable grocery bags can’t begin to compensate for the environmental harms of bad land use.
