I walk against the light for a reason. Walking, biking, transit, & mobility in Greater Boston. Criticism of public agencies is purely constructive. Boston, MA Joined October 2016

@EdforBoston @bostonpolice @BostonPatrolmen @bostonherald @BostonGlobe @wbz @wbznewsradio @WCVB @7News @boston25 @NBC10Boston This is an opportunity to have a discussion about putting retractable bollards in DowntownCrossing. As of today there’s nothing stopping another NewOrleans style attack. Would be great to have protection on Summer and Washington streets.

Someone at @BostonSchools should remind their bus drivers that school buses aren’t exempt from the rules of the road. Especially considering they carry students and drive in areas where there are a lot of kids crossing the streets. This bus ran a red light well after it changed.

Judging from how full this bus from Springfield Union Station to the Big E (@TheBigEFair) already is, it should probably run much more frequently than every few hours. (Tip: park at Union Station to avoid Big E traffic)

Today, I reached out to @MassStatePolice to ask why there’s been no arrest or if there’s a citation for the driver of a Mercedes SUV, who according to reports, lost control of his vehicle and struck and killed Newton cyclist John Corcoran on the sidewalk by the DeWolfe Boathouse.

@TheDoktor16 @WalkerInBoston @BostonBTD @jfh @MayorWu @universalhub @WalkMass The whole DTX PEDESTRIAN ZONE is not enforced. Too many trucks and other vehicles .

Keep the 311 reports coming. Even if there is apparently little to no enforcement (people continue to illegally park in the pedestrian zone with impunity, in a no stopping zone no less), the number of reports will be on record. @BostonBTD @jfh @MayorWu @universalhub @WalkMass

Fort Point remains on track to lose both @MBTA #11 bus stops on A Street, despite the fact that the stops are widely used. We received little support to keep them. Loss of bus service will leave our elderly and disabled nearly a half-mile walk to the closest stop or station.

Newbury Street is one beautiful place when it's car-free. ❤️

95% of crashes are caused by drivers, which is why 95% of traffic safety PSAs should be targeted at drivers. Use @NHTSAgov data before wasting your time on marketing campaigns about how to walk in public.

ALERT: There are Boston Police officers posing as pedestrians in South Boston this week, handing out $200 citations to drivers not stopping for a pedestrian in the crosswalk.

Boylston St now, at what is typically one of its busiest periods. @GlobeMcGrory and @EdforBoston are either just making shit up or have no idea what they’re talking about.

Four buses unable to use the Chinatown bus lane because of drivers blocking by parking and standing in them, resulting in gridlock at Stuart and Washington.
