The Wu-Turn continues. Yesterday, the Public Improvements Commission (PIC) voted to remove the Bennington St protected bike lane that was supposed to be built as part of the 355 Bennington St project. Read our full statement on our blog.

This is a betrayal to our community. No community groups were consulted. No residents were consulted. When the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services and Councilor Coletta-Zapata’s staffers were pressed for information on the stakeholder engagement which resulted in this decision, the process remained unclear.

It's always so funny to me when Libertarians are car brained. Owning and driving a car involves so much government regulation. Biking and walking are where the freedom is at! (Obviously Liberatarians would prefer to just get rid of any sort of oversight of cars and drivers.)
Wow, Cambridge, MA!! A pedestrian crossing signal by Central Square that gives pedestrians plenty of time to cross: 47 seconds! This is what prioritizing safe streets looks like!! 👏🏽🚶🏻♂️
