Somerville has become the second city in Massachusetts to eliminate all minimum parking requirements city-wide.

"I think [parking reform] can be a difficult conversation to start, but I really do think that there’s a lot of value in pursuing it.” @BenForWard3

The Department of Transportation and Mobility has begun rolling out the first phase of initiatives of its Vision Zero plan.

In this episode of The Buzz, I discuss what these initiatives are and how they will improve road safety in the City.

Voters choose transit in two sprawling cities:
Successful ballot initiatives in Nashville, Tennessee, and Columbus, Ohio, have the potential to greatly improve mobility and transit in two of America’s fastest growing, automobile-dominated cities.

Sorry to hear of the passing of former Economic Development Secretary @GregBialecki. One of the good guys in Massachusetts civic affairs. A mentor and friend. He will be missed. https://t.co/edIKS9ax9v

Wrapped up our week of #VisionZero Walk Audits with over 160 residents, elected officials, and City staff joining us.

Special thank you to Jeff Speck of SpeckDempsey and Jason Schrieber & Catrina Meyer of Stantec for leading them.

Time to finalize the plan and get to work

[City of Worcester @TweetWorcester]

Thank you to everyone who came out to our five walk audits this week. The data collected will help inform the development of short-term recommendations and a toolbox for the City to continue the Vision Zero strategy long-term.

[Steve Rolle @SteveRolle]

Great seeing so many posts this week about our #VisionZero walk audits!

Thank you to the community members, city councilors, and @wrta @cmrpc and @TweetWorcester staff who participated, and to @JeffSpeckFAICP, @Stantec and the DTM crew!

Admittedly, the White Stadium plan has been an issue of concern to me. But @cdempc, someone I deeply respect, has made a strong case for support.

Worth a read… https://t.co/wdOAeZxYkY

I’m glad @cdempc laid it out so well in this opinion: https://t.co/sc6aZtRZaj

Great piece by @cdempc in today's Commonwealth Beacon newsletter! Few better voices to make the case that @MayorWu's plan for White Stadium has been open and transparent. Let's move forward and bring this important community asset into the 21st century.

Smart policies from the team @MAPCMetroBoston. Not only do they raise revenue to fund improved transportation, they also discourage unnecessary vehicle trips. We need lots more of this to fix our worst-in-the-nation congestion.

[Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) @MAPCMetroBoston]

Decades of underinvestment have left the Commonwealth’s transportation system buried in debt & facing an overwhelming maintenance backlog. Yesterday, we released a series of 3 policy briefs that highlighted ways to make the State’s current transportation..
