MBTA Begins 9-Day Orange Line Shutdown This Weekend - mass.streetsblog.org/2026/02/27/m...

Could the cycle track in North End in front of the Coast Guard Base be cleared of snow? @universalhub.com @gigi4district1.bsky.social @streets.boston.gov @311.boston.gov @bikeboston.bsky.social @mayorwu.boston.gov

Could the bus and bike lane on Summer St by the Federal Reserve be cleared of snow and ice? @thebostonlol.bsky.social @universalhub.com @fortpointer.bsky.social @bikeboston.bsky.social @mayorwu.boston.gov @streets.boston.gov @311.boston.gov @gigi4district1.bsky.social @edflynnforboston.bsky.social

Could the bike lane on Atlantic Ave between Summer St and Congress St be cleared of snow? @streets.boston.gov @thebostonlol.bsky.social @universalhub.com @bikeboston.bsky.social @311.boston.gov @mayorwu.boston.gov @ridebluebikes.bsky.social @edflynnforboston.bsky.social @gigi4district1.bsky.social

Fortunately there are many Boston residents stepping up to ensure safe intersections and path access for pedestrians, bike riders, and other vulnerable road users. But it would be good for the city to figure out a way to include this in the larger snow removal plan. Cc: @wutrain.bsky.social

Inspired by @bikeboston.bsky.social and answering the call from @mayorwu.boston.gov, I decided to shovel the bike crossing between the Southwest Corridor and Forest Hills. The bike and pedestrian crossings were in a sorry state, but not anymore! @massdot.bsky.social 👀

Arrest them.

Linked in the UHub comments: "Black bus riders in the Boston area spent an average of 64 more hours per year on MBTA buses when compared to their bus riders who were white – the equivalent of 8 full working days' worth of lost wages every year."

So two of these tickets were closed with notes saying they were resolved, but none of them are resolved when I went by tonight so opened 2 new tickets. C'mon man boston2-production.spotmobile.net/public/BOS%3...

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

Parking meters in Roslindale Square? City Council to consider meters in neighborhood business districts universalhub.com/2026/parking... #Boston #parking

Could the bike lane on Moakley Bridge be cleared of snow on both sides? @edflynnforboston.bsky.social @gigi4district1.bsky.social @thebostonlol.bsky.social @bikeboston.bsky.social @mayorwu.boston.gov @streets.boston.gov @mohammedmissouri.bsky.social @fpnaboston.bsky.social @fortpointer.bsky.social

Enormous gratitude to our incredible @streets.boston.gov teams who hauled over a thousand truck loads of snow overnight. 💪

Kansas just invalidated the drivers licenses of every trans person in the state. They’re being told to surrender their current licenses and get new ones listing their birth sex. No grace period. Get caught driving with your now-invalid license and you’re looking at jail and a fine.

Had to run an errand today so of course I biked. SW Corridor was well cleared (thanks DCR) as were the @ridebluebikes.bsky.social stations I saw Boston streets were a mixed bag. I saw corners + crosswalks in Egleston cleared out 💯 Other places bikers are on the sidewalk and ped access is blocked

Some councilors say proposed center bus lanes on Blue Hill Avenue are a potential civil-rights violation www.universalhub.com/2026/some-co... #Boston #Roxbury #Mattapan #Dorchester #MBTA #bospoli

With the most recent blizzard dropping 17-inches of snow across the City of Boston, Night 2 of heavy snow removal is underway. Crews will continue to widen roadways & clear crosswalks & curb ramps to improve safety & accessibility.

This is an enraging, heartbreaking story.

The core of right wing governance--really the only thing it does effectively--is tormenting people

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

I think probably the one misconception that bothers me about bike lanes is that people assume they are for those who bike...when really they are for those who are too scared to bike.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Our friends at the Bourne Rail Trail are reminding @massgovernor.bsky.social & @kimdriscollma.bsky.social how many people would like to see the Falmouth Secondary track removed & the multi-modal pathway built in its place. Scan the QR code to send a postcard in support of this #railtrails project.

With daytime operations winding down, our crews & contractors will be out tonight conducting large-scale snow removal across the city. Pics below from today’s efforts clearing crosswalks, curb ramps & widening roads.

It’s why we continue to fight for the State Senate to stop blocking our residential tax relief measure; their “alternatives” all require cutting City services funding to offset tax spikes. Our bill gives relief by temporarily restoring balance between resi & commercial while keeping services funded.

These mid-block snow piles help us keep snowbanks away from the intersections where they’d block visibility for pedestrians, cyclists & drivers. Also makes our snow removal efforts more efficient—these will be hauled away with overnight removal this week.

NYT and WaPo coverage of Trump's lie-filled, wildly racist, viciously trolling speech is basically a cover-up.

Every news outlet in the country could've ran a front page "Trump child rape accusations illegally purged from Epstein files in massive coverup" headline and they all chose "Good boy Trump nails speech!" instead.

Reddit users are reporting Boston-area bike path and bike lane conditions here: www.reddit.com/r/bikeboston...

Why do they even need to ask? Yes to sidewalks and bike lanes.

@bostonglobe.com is running a poll on if you think the city should clear sidewalks as well as roads Tell them what you think @universalhub.com @stacos.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/23/o...

Unfortunately, due to the large amount of new snow from this week’s latest storm, the winter bike ride scheduled for February 28 has sadly been cancelled. There are plans underway to reschedule a new date for the East Boston route, which will be communicated once it is confirmed.

HEADS UP #Boston The snow emergency and parking ban will end in about one hour (6:00 PM) Residents parked in discounted garages will have until 8PM to move their vehicle before regular rates resumes. #blizzardof2026 ❄️❄️ #boston

Just saw a huge backhoe dig out access to a bus stop in Roxbury. First time I've seen this and this is fantastic!!!

I'm at risk of falling from vision, peripheral nerve disease and a wrecked back from lifting and moving patients since I was a teen. I was homebound for over a week from the first big snow, and am still trapped inside until who knows when. Cambridge actively discriminates against pedestrians.

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

@juliametraux.bsky.social wrote about snow removal and accessibility recently after the last big Northeast snow storm

Saying it again: Winter lays bare all the ways our communities fail those not in cars. This is especially true if you are disabled. If accessibility disappears under a pile of snow, then a place was never really accessible to begin with.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

The streets look great! They are very clear. And that means drivers are going 50mph again down the block And the street is where folks have to wait for the bus and my neighbor who uses a mobility chair has to travel because the sidewalks are unpassable down the block & intersections Priorities 😔

A study in Copenhagen finds that 70% of survey participants support removing parking spots to make room for street life, cycling, and vegetation. Sure, Copenhagen is not Los Angeles, but I think planners and electeds in the U.S. overestimate support for street parking

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

Usually we do removal overnight bc it’s disruptive & large equipment, but this time we’re holding the parking ban longer to do daytime removal today too. Will be piling snow away from the intersections mid-block to be removed to snow farms throughout the week. Also more snow farm sites & melting.

The sun is out, the air is crisp, and it’s time to do your part to help keep Boston safe and accessible.
