@berkie1 Meanwhile literally every building on Newbury still has uninterrupted direct public alley access for cars and trucks. Genius.

@eakboston @berkie1 @MassGov @MayorWu Valid argument. Think of the sewage capacity in the Merrimack valley.

visited Boston's South End: 300 acres of dense townhomes along beautiful tree lined streets

filled with little parks, lots of ground floor cafes and shops, walkable to downtown, right on public transit lines, diverse population

why does every city in the US not want this?

@OnlyInBOS Municipal budgets should be wary of the collapse of CBD Class B-C office. How much of Boston’s office-space is vacant and propping up obsolete property values?

@taydolven Imagine if cars driving in the city were restricted to 20 mph out of an “abundance of caution” every time a pedestrian or cyclist was hit.

@YIMBYLAND Evidence that abandoning zoning doesn’t facilitate smart growth

@the_transit_guy The rent.

@stevendschmitt Pretty sure it’s all private

This actually isn’t surprising at all, but it still needs to said over & over — the biggest barrier to more urban biking in cities is the fear of cars. “A study confirms that if we are serious about getting people on bikes, they need a safe place to ride.” https://t.co/jBecleBnf1

@bostonjonas @YawuMiller @VoteWorrell @VoteRussell @wbz @boston25 suburban voyeurism at its worst.

@BosLeonRivera @juliaforboston if you aren’t part of the solution you’re part of the problem.

@jfh @cden4 @eherot @BostonBTD “We’ve tried enforcing safety but it’s hard” is the most disappointing response from our Chief of Streets

[Jascha Franklin-Hodge (@jfh01.bsky.social) @jfh]

The @UberEats/@DoorDash business model is bad for cities. Company's incentivize drivers to put speed over safety, and take no responsibility for costs imposed on the public. This industry needs regulation. We can support restaurants wo/ endangering lives and creating congestion.

@PetruSofio Disappointing status quo bike lane.

[Andrew Guild @AndWGuild]

@cden4 @bostonaruban Yeah and imagine if we actually still had urban schools like that…

[Andrew Guild @AndWGuild]

@crosswalkcru @AlyshaNBCBoston @NBC10Boston @NECN Let’s not forget every single building on Boylston Street has a loading zone in the perfectly planned public alley to avoid exactly this issue.

[Andrew Guild @AndWGuild]

@AlyshaNBCBoston @NBC10Boston @NECN In just ten seconds this cable news team was able to film multiple automobile violations and moving crimes. We need safe bike lanes and dedicated bus routes NOW!
