Complete Streets redesign of Worcester's Newton sq / Highland st meeting on Feb 11th 6pm-8pm at Doherty High.

That section really needs a redesign and Complete streets principles are exactly what should be used.

Head over to support!

If you saw this piece on @nbcboston.com , please know that it’s ludicrous scaremongering.

Nobody is proposing to limit the number of miles you drive in your personal vehicle.

This plays directly into the 15 minute city conspiracy and sure enough all the comments are people freaking out.

Just to clear this up. This is a Nazi salute:

This wins it for me..

The world’s richest man gleefully and callously snatching food, vaccines, and AIDS medication from the world’s poorest people. Utterly grotesque.

I totally get where this article is coming from. I'm all for treating drug addiction as a public health problem.

But this is a person who should not be driving.

The fact that people view having your license taken away as being a horrific punishment is an indictment on our infrastructure.

We are, in fact, the bad guys. This is awful. Not in my name.

This is madness. They're really trying to utterly destroy all tourism and turn us into pariahs.

Who would agree to this?

They keep making the torment nexus.

Oh awesome! I didn't know you got an ebike.

IMO this is the best way to get from your hood over to some neighborhood favs: Big Y, Nu Kitchen, and then Chandler westbound isn't bad with the almost always empty parking lane which will get you to Cordella's.

Altho BB park not great at moment- icy

Pleasant street revamp meeting. Lots of people..

Some even have *pedestrian* airbags!

Wow, European cars have things like pop-up hoods to help absorb the impact of a pedestrian's head.

They have this because their regulators care about people outside the vehicle (unlike in the US).

Wow!

I know I shouldn’t be surprised but fucking hell, this is shamefully imbecilic and dangerous.

Ah, ended up 7 of 9. Still a wonderful result!
November 5, 2025 at 9:48 PM
Looking at the results from last time I do agree that King, Petty, Toomey seem very likely.. I'm hoping somehow Bergman and/or Colorio get knocked out of the top 6.. 🙏🙏🙏
