There will never be "consensus" on safe streets, bc one side believes nobody should get killed by cars and the other side believes its totally fine if people get killed by cars, and we will never agree. It's mayor @wutrain.bsky.social's duty to save lives not NIMBYs' feelings.

"Community input and consensus" is a plan for doing nothing. People simultaneously want their own local streets to be slow and safe, and all their preferred driving routes on other people's streets optimized for going as fast as possible.

Are we going to "Squares and Streets" every single speed bump or bike lane? Because if so, I really don't see the point of having Boston continue as a city rather than a couple dozen stupidly parochial towns.

\o/ you want car people to agree to losing ANY PIECE OF A ROAD? Might as well just throw up the white flag now and give up. If this is @wutrain.bsky.social thought process on how to fix the transit & pedestrian infrastructure in the city we're going no where for the next 4 years. Disappointing.

There is a blatant right way to design cities, factually and data backed. Its not a focus on cars but moving people. Its an investment in redesigning your city and how it moves its people. Its phasing out street parking one piece at a time. Reality is you have to expand public transit to make up

for people no longer being able to park where ever they want, you have to negotiate and rebuild train networks that once connected people to surrounding towns so they can get to jobs in and out of the city. Its a huge investment and its a step by step process, but protected bike lanes

@wutrain.bsky.social this absolutely sucks. I've seen at least 3 fatal driver against cyclist crashes in front of my own home. I'll be sure to let the next grieving family know you just needed more input and that's why their kid's brains are splattered against Symphony Hall

@mayorwu.boston.gov do the goddamn job we elected you to. You're willing to use the bully pulpit for White Stadium but not for saving our lives? You should be modeling yourself after Parisian mayors, not Chuck "I Will Happily Watch You Die While Seeking Consensus" Schumer. Inaction here is murder.

Hi Drew, not sure if you already sent a letter on this topic, but feel free to share with your network. Maybe local feedback from Boston folks can help her understand this is misguided and dangerous to the whole city bsky.app/profile/theb...
