It has been a terrible couple of days: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/02/metro/identity-of-lynn-cyclist-killed-by-truck-driver-revealed/

Saw one parked on Summer St in Malden this morning. Didn't grab a pic

Touche! Also funnily I was just about to "well actually" your other post with Minneapolis as the example lol. No sea of (surface) parking

I think the general consensus is that baseball/basketball/hockey (especially when combined like TD Garden) can work in and even enliven the urban fabric because of how frequently the space is used whereas a football stadium is, at best, a couple dozen times a year between games and concerts. I...

I'm sure there's something, somewhere, but progress has really ground to a halt. The lack of a master plan for the network in Boston is mind boggling to me.

Was contacted a few times by Markey folks, never by Moulton folks. I was very ready to vote for not-Markey this cycle but Moulton just isn't the guy to do it.

Grew up in southwest CT and fully identify with New England

Regulation isn't an inherently left wing thing. It's been framed thst way post-Reagan but regulation csn absolutely be used to advance right wing objectives. That's what's been the case with the housing market and more left of center politicians need to be explicit in naming it as such

To be fair, the COGs in CT have no power other than as distributors of transpo dollars. But yeah I imagine buy in was easier to get there because the mayors/selectmen are much more directly involved with the COGs as opposed to how most RPAs function in MA. There's significant push for this that...

Ahhhh now I understand why the state transportation building elevators are under maintenance every other week. Think of the health insurance savings for the taxpayers!

We talked at length in the run up to the primary about how despite the meh-at-best polling for bike lanes it's just such a low salience issue for voters and the results very clearly bore that out. If she runs for senate/governor and her opponents center their campaign around Wu as crazy bike...

Quincy is getting a lot of transit proximate development built. To your point, I wouldn't call it transit-oriented for that exact reason. Unfortunately the Quincy mayor and planning chief are absolutely backwards and behind the times when it comes to urban planning. We've seen it again and...
