The network was set to be finished in 1 year. The folks who sued to stop the bike lanes just moved that to 3.5 years. @Marc_C_McGovern offered @PattyNolan1 a compromise of 2.5 years. Why can't anyone who voted for this delay articulate a single thing that will be gained from it?

[Chris Cassa @ccassa]

@WBUR covered the @CambMA 2 year bike lane delay with Councilors Pickett and @VoteJivan. I made it on the radio for a quick minute as well! 📻 It's an interesting discussion. Some brief thoughts below. @cambbikesafety @StreetsBoston @WalkMass @MassBike https://t.co/lDY9XOKIyp

Hoping the community will get answers. Happy to collaborate w @realBurhanAzeem @DennisCarlone asking @MassDCR @MassEEA to review their decision with the new information.

It’s an injustice to have a highway divide the Riverbend community from the river, creating danger, noise and pollution. Riverbend Park corrects this on the weekends, providing access to open space that is easy to get to. #CambMA

Every year, North American communities spend, on average, per person:

$50 on sidewalks and crosswalks
$180 on public transit subsidies
$1,000 on public roads and traffic services
More than $2,000 per capita on government-mandated parking facilities

A few days early for me to repost these old STW on July 4th, but the SCOTUS decisions of the past few days makes them seem more appropriate today

@sause_wirke @NikDeCostaKlipa Good news for bandwidth! Bike lanes have >3.5x more bandwidth than car lanes. So the question is really, why are we wasting so much bandwidth on car lanes?

Say it with me “Inclusionary Zoning isn’t an affordable housing tool. It’s a desegregation tool”… that we use in place of broad based affordable housing tools because many middle class homeowners decided they had no responsibility to contribute towards affordable housing.

@AlbertBreer Those 5 lane sections are usually just full of triple parked cars, pretty sure removing that problem will actually make traffic flow better. Especially since that's exactly what happens everywhere when these projects are implemented.

@LucilleBurdge You might want to learn about the phrase "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt"

@andr_w @school_cycology @katjballantyne Festivals are good, but no reason we can't also just have open streets like #OpenNewbury or more permanently like DTX

[Jonathan Berk @berkie1]

A good reminder that 75% of Boston- area voters support "bike lanes that are separated from cars, even if it means less space for cars."

“But mah gaz tax!” Here’s a useful map for people who think gas taxes cover the cost of roads. (They don’t.)

[Jimmy’s buffet, let’s eat! @MatthewDezii]

Support your local bike lanes! Email the city, email BTD, email @MayorWu and tell them how much you value safety! The bike lanes on Boylston, Berkley and frankly everywhere need to happen, and happen asap! These designs are safe, and YES there has been community input…

It's awesome seeing Salem making @RideBluebikes a real regional transportation option. Looking for more cities to follow their lead.

Would love to see every city with a regional rail stop to have BB, so you could make many train+bike trips

[City of Salem MA @CityofSalemMA]

#SalemMA has just added three new @ridebluebike stations and 18 additional bikes. With support from a Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization Community Connections grant, new stations were deployed in Vinnin Square, Bridge Street Neck, and on Derby Street. 🚲🚲🚲

The Sumner tunnel closure is expected to produce miles of traffic. Getting around it might be intimidating on bike but here's a very helpful guide to make your trip easier! https://t.co/N28by5n4U6

"share the road" doesn't work when the people with multi-ton vehicles want to kill you
