@wutrain.bsky.social instruct trash pickup to include any space savers found in the road when they're collecting trash at homes. 3 weeks after a storm space savers should not be getting used still

ok this is hilarious but brilliant

#boston our streets are not private storage areas.

Part e-bike and part van, this new class of pedal-powered vehicles is overhauling last-mile delivery—and the fabric of car-centric urban life. “I do think we're asking a fundamental question of who is entitled to space in the city?" insideevs.com/features/786...

#boston this is goals

#boston our city could be much safer, empowering, healthier, easier to get around, greener, cheaper, there could be denser housing and less reliance on cars. Bike lanes, trams, expanded sidewalks would also make it easier to remove snow during the winter since we would have some place to put snow

It was shocking to see in Allston how the city just abandoned people who bike. I don't understand a city that invests in a green and burgeoning mode of transportation that people rely on year round but gives up I would like an apology from @wutrain.bsky.social & Nick Gove and a pledge to do better

@wutrain.bsky.social please be bold and aggressive. We need to update laws & requirements for streets for the city we need not for the city we have now. Future planning means change and change requires big financial investments and planning. Phase in protected bike lanes reducing on street parking

Three (3) thoughts this morning: Cycle lanes mean more to a city than mobility alone. They revitalize a city by attracting young people to the city, and investment surely follows. 1/3

#boston i'm proud of these folks. You have city councilors fighting hard to get rid of bike lanes, meanwhile the citizens of the city picking up the slack and doing the work themselves showing these are primary modes of transit and need to be maintained. If there was ever proof you needed here it is

Today, construction on the nation’s largest infrastructure project came to a halt - with hundreds laid off - because Donald Trump is out of control. The good news: political pressure still works, and we can use our voices to make sure he doesn’t have the last word.

@wutrain.bsky.social lets work with volunteers to create groups like these each season. Every section of the city if you asked and allowed to organize and provided cleaning tools i guarantee you would have ppl wanting to lend a hand to clear things out.

#boston as a parent of little kids and having utilized this... having family days passes available for kids is such a godsend. What an amazing thing to help families in the city of Boston thank you @mayorwu.boston.gov

#boston schools need help controlling car traffic. There are far too many parents dropping off by car in a city that should empower walking, biking, trains, buses. Today i saw an old man get out of his car curse & go off on bus drivers & the crossing guard for blocking traffic...its a school zone!!

Happy Friday fellow Bostonians! There's a survey from @boston.gov on "curb use". If you have opinions on things like double parking or blocked bike lanes this is your opportunity to give feedback I said they need more 15 min pickup spaces + ticketing from 311 😈 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

today my kid on the way to drop them off as we passed by a fence pole sticking out at his eye level that I've reported before to @311.boston.gov said "hey with the snow here i won't run into this thing!" so i guess thats one good thing about ppl not clearing sidewalks...my kids won't lose an eye now

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

all to familiar here in #boston everything from literal posts kids could run into, un protected bike lanes, cars parking in crosswalks n bike lanes...311 just says no issue and closes the ticket. I use to use 311 alot but something changed n now they don't take action @311.boston.gov frustrating

Proud of our Mayor. Let's continue to protect our friends and neighbors from this criminality. This shit is not normal or acceptable. Abducting ppl off the street no due process or warrants is insane. @mayorwu.boston.gov www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

#boston it's funny that ppl with driveways don't use them because they think it's easier to just park in the road in front of their house. The irony of waste of space

Boston is getting $252 million over the next 15 years for the White Stadium renovation. It’s the largest community and public benefits deal in our city’s history.

We are Boston and we will never abandon our values. Today, with mayors and city managers from Cambridge, Chelsea, Lynn, Newton, Brookline, Medford, and Somerville, I signed an “Executive Order To Protect Bostonians From Unconstitutional and Violent Federal Operations.”

Glad to see Mayor Wu state clearly that Boston police have a duty to protect protesters, to provide first aid, and to investigate ICE agents when they break city and state law. www.boston.com/news/local-n...

@mbta.com lets get trains running the streets again instead of cars. Bikes, trains, walking in areas like these would make the city healthier, safer, cleaner, quieter & allow for more people to traverse businesses more often. @wutrain.bsky.social i see trains in your name...lets see what we can do!

Next policy should be implemented now.

ICE abducted someone in Roslindale today. Just yanked from their car and disappeared because that's what the Gestapo does. Thankfully people were there and hopefully this person will be identified and located.

Anyway, it's good timing for this executive order from @mayorwu.boston.gov

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

Just a reminder that using Boston's most used bike lanes for snow storage a week after a snow storm is a choice. We have the technology!

You live to see serious investments into our public transit. This is great! Well done @mbta.com www.dotnews.com/2026/mbta-bu...

Erin Murphy & Ed Flynn. Looking at you.

Far past time we started limiting the cars around boston common area. Honestly lets turn that area into mostly pedestrian only, and redirect cars around it. One piece of the city at a time, we need to start restricting car access.

Hilarious, @311.boston.gov issued a violation to itself, so I guess as a taxpayer I get to pay that? How about just having @police.boston.gov just CLEAR THEIR SIDEWALK in Nubian Square! Make it make sense @boston.gov @wutrain.bsky.social boston2-production.spotmobile.net/public/BOS%3...

Until we treat bikes as & walking as an ACTUAL form of transportation, we will continue to languish. We cannot flourish as a society with only cars being important. They're expensive, messing with the environment, kill ppl, take up enormous amounts of space...lets do better, plan ahead, be smart.

#boston the ironic part about winter is when it snows cars think they own their parking spot in the streets. Putting a chair where they clean snow they think they've earned it for some reason. Does that mean I've earned the sidewalk since I cleared that in front of my house?

It's brutal being a parent in this city. The selfishness of home owners who will clean their own property perfectly but not the sidewalk in front of their house properly like their required to do. Strollers don't fit here. Parents are walking in the street with babies. #boston

Sounds familiar #boston we got people like Ed Flynn & Erin Murphy holding this city back forcing us to live with more congestion. Lack of vision, lack of strategy, lack of following data and truth. We can be a better city and it starts with transit built in tandem with housing. Trains bikes & buses.

Mass. State House Day of Action to fight for Safety Camera legislation bill [S.2344 & H.3754] that allows cities and towns to implement road safety cameras. These tools hold unsafe drivers accountable while reducing the need for dangerous traffic stops. @massbike.bsky.social

If accessibility disappears after a snowstorm then there was never really accessibility to begin with. Winter reveals so much about who our cities prioritize.

#bps today during pickup it was crazy as usual. Ppl parking in crosswalks and the middle of the road asked a parent to move to stop blocking traffic he threatened to beat me up for asking him to move out of the crosswalk and blocking the road. Less cars more bikes n walking to schools pls.

Taking suggestions for what the prize should be when students collect ‘em all! Reminder that every kid growing up in Boston gets to bring their family for free to these amazing museums & shows. Register for Boston Family Days: www.boston.gov/departments/...

"European genes do not produce some kind of innate affinity for human-powered mobility — [and] people on any continent will use bike infrastructure if it is safe."

www.northsouthraillink.org this gis good stuff - these folks did some nice planning and ideas. I have some different ideas i'm working on including funding, different plans for expansion of the the entire region & state but love to see fellow planners out there!

embarrassing that we shame replacing a gas station with 230 homes. We sit around wondering why we're so far behind on everything, why everything is falling apart, why everything is so expensive...because you have to grow & evolve to keep up and it seems old Boston isn't prepared for change. Be brave

Michelle Wu scares them so much and I love it

its true. Every single town & city i've been to since this storm hit has failed to clear crosswalks & sidewalks let alone bike lanes.

Open Streets create jobs. Expand and fully fund the program! "At those 200 or so locations, more than 67,200 jobs were created — with nearly a majority of those slots (46 percent) created at the 62 locations that had an open street for all five years between 2020 and 2024."

Honestly never thought I'd get warning messages from my kids school about the federal government potentially attempting to abduct children from their schools & procedures to protect our children from them. But here we r. Just got one. This is the USA u want Republicans? Seriously? Orwellian bullshit

#boston if there was ever a case for reducing street parking its winter time. Cars sit for months on end without moving, we can't clear streets properly because of cars parked IN THE STREETS, ppl park in crosswalks, there's no where to put the snow because cars take up so much space roads narrow

@wgbh.org can you get these folks on your show please
