"Catastrophic, all-pervasive, climate breakdown is now inevitable. It's vital that we act, and fast, to slash emissions, so that catastrophic doesn't become cataclysmic"

@BRConnorDPT @MassDCR @CityofMelrose Yikes sorry to hear. And yes, at all the trailheads along the Fells.

[Multimodal Mom @MultiModalMom]

Things the community needs from @MassDCR in 2022: 🧵
1. Safe crossing for people on foot, bike, & wheelchair at #middlesexfells trailheads. This is along #fellsway east in @CityofMelrose #melrosema

[Multimodal Mom @MultiModalMom]

3. @MassDCR please fix Pond & Woodland so #melrosema & #stoneham residents can access @zoonewengland @BoatingInBoston, @flynnrink & more of your community resources by 🚲 👩🏾‍🦽🚶🏽‍♀️(design by @JonahJonahc)

[Multimodal Mom @MultiModalMom]

There’s zero #bikeparking at the #middlesexfells trailsheads east of 93 @MassDCR

[Multimodal Mom @MultiModalMom]

@CityofMelrose curb cuts at this crosswalk and bike parking would make this area of Main St and Memorial Hall a bit more hospitable for people not in cars.

@nofunfinn Out of all the things to include in this rendering…they chose a SUV over hmm…maybe kids? @SafeRoutesNow also calls for this to be a #schoolstreet

[Multimodal Mom @MultiModalMom]

It made my whole weekend 🙌🏼

[Melrose Pedestrian & Bicyclist Committee @MelrosePedBike]

We were so thrilled with how many folks stopped by last week at the @MelroseChamber2 Home for the Holidays event to try out an ebike (or cargo bike!) with us. 🚲 = fun for the whole family! Special thanks to our awesome friend @MultiModalMom for coordinating!

My friend sent me this video of her daughter sharing what she learned about cars today at school...and wants to know how we can help people walk and use other things besides cars... future @gretathunberg & @waroncars advocate. #earthdaylessons

These two love their #walks together. #eastcoastgreenway #boston #charlestown @ecgreenway #multimodalmom

@donateyourpaint @nyc311 @NYC_DOT So sad and not surprising

[Multimodal Mom @MultiModalMom]

When you can walk in the middle of the city with your #toddler and not worry about cars...blissful

[Multimodal Mom @MultiModalMom]

Just trying to get to the playground...🙄

Cars don't just consume energy, they consume space. Electric cars are still cars, leaving the same footprint on cities. The urban revolution won't be cleaner cars or better apps but cities designed so you don't need to drive in the first place. 🚌🚇🚲🚶🏾‍♀️

We had our first family bike ride today. My daughter loved it. My husband summed up bike life with the fact that “our lives just got so much easier and more fun.” 🚲 👏🏻#multimodalmom #bikelife #bike #familybiking #bikeboston

Talking about the Future of Transportation Caucus w/@StreetsBoston & @RepPressley My daughter is a fan. #VirtualStreetTalk

[Multimodal Mom @MultiModalMom]

At least there’s a warning that the sidewalks pretty awful. #coronawalks #sidewalk
