    Biking in Boston

    Entirely agreed, and folks from the commission I've spoken with acknowledge it's imperfect and that in practical terms it's almost entirely going to be enforced retroactively on people who are getting in trouble for speeding or other behavior. If you ride a class III on a trail and are riding...

    Biking in Boston

    The micromobility commission recommendation and the current legislation in the statehouse based on such will ban Class III ebikes from trails, but permit class I and II.

    Biking in Boston

    My primary project right now is a regional gap analysis for the biking and walking networks.

    Red Line Extension to Arlington Heights

    I don't think the shit fit would necessarily be based on a factual understanding of the long term impacts, as these things rarely are.

    Biking in Boston

    Sidewalks/Walkability in Massachusetts

    Leading pedestrian intervals, curb bump outs, refuge islands (when there's 4+ lanes), raised crosswalks/intersections...there's plenty of treatments that can be done that are proven effective without needing to go through the herculean effort of retiming half the city's signals (since it would...
