It’s been two months since we lost Louisa Gag to traffic violence. Is Tremont St any safer today? The answer is evidently not. Residents have taken it upon themselves to improve Tremont St. Now, City Council is noticing. bostoncyclistsunion.org/two-months-a...

This is good coverage on Wu's backpedaling and broken promises on safer streets. The reporter asks her point blank about her "dangerously underwhelming" plans and she starts up with word salad I know I don't feel safe enough to bike in Boston youtu.be/Ny-5wWVPupg?...

I've seen enough. The Cummins "Highway" (that name) complete streets redesign is a shining example of what Boston can do when we put people and safety first in our priorities in street design Sidewalk level bikeway, raised crossings, new trees, traffic circle slowing down drivers. Beautiful & safer
The Boston LOL 💜 🚲 ⚡@thebostonlol.bsky.social · 4w agoCome ride the new Cummins Highway redesign today. Honestly I think it's become one of the best designed streets in Boston - safe passage for all modes of travel and improved transit facilities.

Repaving Dot Ave, and bike lane is very clearly marked, but wish Boston would just figure out what cities around the world have and put bike lane next to the curb, then street parking, then traffic lane. Protected bike lane for just the cost of some paint

Do it, Boston. No one has the right to torment neighbors with engine noise.
Boston’s considering noise cameras: Look inside the tech already monitoring loud cars in Newport, RI
The cameras capture the license plates of vehicles that exceed a certain decibel level, and the driver then receives a fine in the mail.

We’re privacy hawks. Here’s why we’re alarmed by license plate readers, and not necessarily by speed cameras - ACLU of Massachusetts
When properly regulated, speed cameras don't pose the same threats to privacy as license-plate-reader surveillance

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.

The data show that Somerville and Cambridge increased bike ridership while reducing crashes involving bikes. Boston reversed it's progress on this front in 2025.

This is a powerful statistic in a Boston Globe editorial about the dangers posed by large trucks in cities. There are many possible solutions: Redesigning trucks, limiting them in some areas, and using smaller vehicles such as cargo bikes for last-mile delivery. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/09/o...

Great analysis on Vision Zero progress in Somerville, Cambridge, Boston, & Brookline. Recommended takeaways for Brookline are to start now, add safe bike / traffic calming infrastructure every time a road is paved, & improve data collection. Doesn't seem impossible! Nice work from Gregory Wheeler.
