Mayors are powerful and we saw that when @wutrain.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy decided to create the #BostonSafetySurge and stop with the Hunger Games style of giving neighborhoods safe streets and just do it And we saw it when she paused all safe street improvement projects last year bostoncyclistsunion.org/sscw

Why is Boston a million miles behind our neighbors both in building green infrastructure and being able to communicate clearly about it? @jfh01.bsky.social Did Josh Kraft actually win the election? Why has @wutrain.bsky.social shut down all her popular street safety programs? #BostonSafetySurge

Speed humps in all neighborhoods please so we're not subjected to the whims of aggressive, racist drivers @wutrain.bsky.social @jfh01.bsky.social @ruthzee.bsky.social @clrhenrysantana.bsky.social @brianworrell.bsky.social @enriquepepen.bsky.social @ben4district6.bsky.social #BostonSafetySurge

The #BostonSafetySurge was an innovative program from @wutrain.bsky.social & @jfh01.bsky.social to end the "Hunger Games" style contest between neighborhoods for speed humps and fast track this best practice for #TrafficCalming Love to see Cambridge following suit! @mass.streetsblog.org

Daylighting is low hanging fruit and should be part of the #BostonSafetySurge @jfh01.bsky.social

terms of representation and power I'm thrilled with good policies like the #BostonSafetySurge where she allowed BTD to implement best practices to make city streets safer But she still strikes me as an incrementalist. Housing hasn't been able to be accelerated. I'm confused by "Squares+ Streets"

Home building is subject to macroeconomic forces so that's not fully in her control And with street safety I give her administration massive credit and appreciation for the #BostonSafetySurge Unleashing the ability to deploy speed humps in all neighborhood absolutely saved lives

She's since taken all these #BostonGreenNewDeal policies off her website menus but I found them inspiring. And took her seriously. Breaking trust is hard to recover These are excellent goals and she's done great work with the #BostonSafetySurge!
