February has seen the installation of many traffic signal foundations on State St. The circular ones are for mast arms and go about 13’ deep. These are mainly for the new signals facing the northbound lanes. Expect to see new steel poles in the air starting sometime in April

At the first public meeting for the replacement of the Court St bridge over State St Station into a pedestrian/bike only bridge, which is super exciting! The designers say almost double the number of pedestrians use the bridge daily compared to cars (800 vs 400)

A very quick research study into the effectiveness of curbside bus lanes vs center running bus lanes (thread):
I have heard designers present both types of bus lanes as having the same operational benefits, but I don't believe that's true. My hypothesis is that center is better than curbside.

thanks @wtnh.bsky.social for reporting the real headline about the ICE protest in hartford. who cares that a federal employee committed a hit and run, a broken window deserves the headline more!

got a smart bike trainer a few weeks ago and have been getting into Zwift - it’s actually a lot more fun than i thought and totally beats just not riding at all during the winter

checked out the new CTrail model on its last day of open house - very comfortable and exciting! each car will have a restroom, destination board, tables, and bike racks. only concern is that i hope they amend the bike area to allow a bike or two to stay on the ground, no way my ebike can go vertical

if your business is reliant on having 1-2 parking spaces directly outside your front door and not the thousands of people who walk by each day, maybe the problem is your business and not the street

the northern section of the state street cycletrack was paved last week as well as some other small pieces - will not be open for a bit as the intersections still need to be built for continuity, but the final vision is coming together!

following the minimum parking provisions of former HB5002 closely, the word is that the revised bill being brought up in the special session starting today unfortunately waters it down even further. it will be imperative next session to try to pass something like HB7061 (full repeal)
