The people gave us a mandate for bold, transformative policy. And our Democratic majority must meet the moment. Now is not the time for incrementalism or moderating our aspirations. We have to use our power and be ready on day one to do the work of repair and reconstruction.
Still devastated. Still furious. We need progress in this city, every single day, until the sun burns out. Yes, the not-so-rapid response is better but so much more to do there and everywhere. #demandmorelouisadid #bostonlagging #timetoactmayorwu

Op-ed writer: “Who is responsible for keeping another safe? We all are.” This claim sounds intuitive and harmless, but it’s wrong. In fact, it helps explain why Americans are much more likely to die in a crash than people in other rich nations. Let me explain. 🧵
Drivers, walkers, cyclists: It's everyone's job to be careful in the dark | Op-Ed
Many complain about pedestrians and drivers. How many actively take their safety and the safety of others seriously?

What can football teach transportation engineers ? Share your take… 🚶🌆
On Halloween, our streets dress up too trading their car centric identity for footsteps, laughter, and neighbors connecting. What if that wasn’t a costume, but their everyday character? 🚶🌆
The freedom children enjoy walking from neighbor to neighbor on Halloween should help guide how we design our streets the rest of the year.

The trees are all alive with color in the process of them going dormant.
Last Saturday, residents and advocates explored the redesigned Cummins Highway to discuss transportation safety and mobility justice. @walkmass.bsky.social joined Bikes Not Bombs, LivableStreets, Mattapan Food and Fitness Coalition, the City of Boston, and the Boston Cyclists Union.
A new $78.7 MILLION pedestrian and bicycle bridge is coming to Greater Boston. MassDOT has approved a contract to build a bridge across the Mystic River, connecting Everett and Somerville. The bridge will link Assembly Row, regional trails and nearby neighborhoods.
WalkMass joined Safe Streets Needham today for a community-led walk audit of Needham’s downtown. A big thank-you to Aidan and everyone who helped organize it! It was especially valuable to explore quick-build ideas with community members eager to see safety improvements soon.
A powerful statistic from @walkmass.bsky.social. When we talk about building safe streets for everyone, that must include older adults, who often have mobility challenges and difficulty navigating huge intersections or walking in areas with poor sidewalks. Data is here: walkmass.org/crash-reports/
The mobility of children is simply not taken seriously or viewed as important. Something illustrative is how people will often say that kids "don't count" when you remind them that children and young teens are nondrivers who deserve the right to get around without cars.
