zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!

Snow happens... but blizzards mean business. 🏔️ To keep everyone safe, Bluebikes will shut down at 12 AM tonight. We plan to reopen tentatively on Wednesday. If you’re out now, get where you’re going and hunker down! ☕️🏠

Truly a bummer that the city, 1. Contracted street plows that rammed the bike lane bollards over on Western Ave in Brighton 2. Didn’t even fully clear the bike lanes of the snow anyway 3. Didn’t use small plows to correctly clear the bike lanes leaving them safe and usable

A well designed pedestrian refuge #sneckdown here on Broadway in Somerville. I say we keep it! Many pedestrians stand on the grassy island when they don't make it all the way across.

Could the bike lanes on the Moakley Bridge be cleared of snow on both sides? It is dangerous for cyclists. @edflynnforboston.bsky.social @mayorwu.boston.gov @fortpointer.bsky.social @bikeboston.bsky.social @walkmass.bsky.social @universalhub.com @fpnaboston.bsky.social @gigi4district1.bsky.social

Are you annoyed by Boston's snow covered bike lanes? It's now been well over a week since Boston's snowstorm, and yet most protected bike lanes are unusable because of the snow. Help us shovel Commonwealth Ave's PBLs and show that this work is an urgent need! RSVP: bcu.bike/shovel

Guest Column: Imagine More Forgiving Neighborhoods, by Aman Shankardass - mass.streetsblog.org/2026/01/26/g...

It’s time to shovel, Boston! Please clear an accessible path of travel on sidewalks and ramps to be sure folks can get around safely. Don’t throw snow back into the street. If you are able, look out for neighbors who may need help.

PSA: If you are shoveling your portion of the sidewalk because the sidewalk plows take too long to come around, make sure the portion you shovel actually connects to other shoveled/plowed portions. It does me no good as a pedestrian to see a shoveled portion of sidewalk that goes from snow to snow.
