It's pretty notable to hear Brendan Crighton mention congestion pricing, as he represents Lynn, Lynnfield, Marblehead, Nahant, Saugus, and Swampscott. Lynn and Swampscott have commuter rail stops, but those are all significant car commuter towns.
Mass. lawmaker says ‘congestion pricing’ should be considered to address the T’s fiscal woes - The Boston Globe
State senator Brendan Crighton, who co-chairs the Legislature’s transportation committee, spoke at the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.

The latest evaluation of bike lane projects in Boston continues to show that if you build bike infrastructure, people will use it.

Full report: www.boston.gov/sites/defaul...
Bicycle counts significantly increased on every corridor where we completed Better Bike Lanes projects in 2024. The number of people biking, and the percentage of all traffic they make up, both saw substantial increases. ▸ We counted over 3,000 more daily bike trips, a 55% increase across all projects. In our prior report on Better Bike Lane projects completed in 2023, we recorded a 44% increase in volume. The latest projects appear to have tapped into even more growth potential by focusing on mostly arterial streets and closing key new network connection gaps. ▸ Bicycles as a share of of all traffic increased to 7% of daily traffic across all projects, nearly doubling from 4% in the baseline condition. Some projects saw bicycle mode share as high as 19% ▸ Boylston Street (Back Bay) topped the list with a near doubling (+83%) of daily bike trips, leading four other corridors that measured growth of nearly 50% or more.

Speed bumps have made roads safer. Asking only ppl who drive if they like them is a wild way of slanting the conversation @wgbh.org as a parent seeing how many cars slow down coming up to them it gives me hope mb my kids won't get hit by a car if we can train ppl to slow down. Use speed cameras too
How do you feel about speed bumps?

Riding to the "Ride for Your Life" event yesterday I passed George Clemmer's ghost bike on Mass Av at Huntington Av

A reminder that even in places we know are deadly, we've done nothing to prevent crashes by protecting vulnerable street users traveling outside of cars @bostonaruban.bsky.social
Ghost bike memorial placed at the intersection but the front wheel is mangled after being hit by a driver

I like these sidewalk-level bike lanes that also have separation from pedestrian space on the sidewalk with pretty materials like cobblestone and/or trees.

If People magazine of all places is writing about safer streets and giant SUVs then maybe our political leaders could show some courage and not capitulate to the vocal minority who want drivers to keep on killing

Street parking makes no sense TBH & our strategy moving forward needs to plan for delivery, trash pickup, taxi drop off, dedicated bike lanes, expanded sidewalks and utility strips for light posts and electrical boxes or postal boxes instead of putting them into sidewalks taking space from sidewalks

Hit me up when the master developer of 23 acre Seaport Square completes construction of a single public park for residents/visitors, rather than spending a decade getting accolades for activating vacant lots already fully permitted for future towers.

Seaport Common? Under construction since 2013.
