Do you know if the search for the new operator is putting Boston's expansion plans on hold for the moment? It seemed like there was a lot quicker turnaround for the earlier phases of expansion. https://www.boston.gov/departments/transportation/bike-share-expansion-2024-2025

I wish they'd hurry up with their rail trail construction and connect it to the Methuen one at the state line. Only a couple of tough intersections to get through for it to be a decent ride.

https://malegislature.gov/Bills/194/HD1392 There's a bill in the works that might get us closer to legalizing single-stair buildings!

Developers always come up with some fun names for these places. What the heck is a beck.

https://mass.streetsblog.org/2025/05/08/mayor-wu-announces-scaled-back-open-streets-schedule-for-2025 A few places got cut from the open streets this year.

Is there a meeting recording anywhere?

We need to keep all the lanes during construction even though the decking projects further east have shut down some lanes......

The missing crosswalks and unsignalized slip lane in the current condition aren't safe either.

Some people on that mapping tool don't realize the extents of the MPO lol.

So instead of the "ugly" flex-posts, is BTD going to use something tougher, like concrete barriers?

This might have been asked to death here, but do the T/Amtrak need that layover in West Station?

https://www.boston.gov/departments/transportation/bike-share-expansion-2024-2025 Bluebikes are expanding again!

One thing properly designed speed humps are great at is stopping the SUPER fast speeders on a street. Like if there's one dude who does 80 mph on a residential street, a speed hump will absolutely stop him. For folks going closer to the speed limit, it might not be as big of an impact. They're...

Automated enforcement for school busses seems like it should be something most people would be fine with. If the lights are on and the stop sign is out, passing it should be an automatic fine.
