I was so lucky to be on the Harvard Bridge yesterday evening during one of the best sunsets of my life. Just about everyone on the sidewalk and bike lane paused and stared for some time

I am speaking as a Boston resident, a transportation professional, and former Planning Department staff who served as PLAN: East Boston transportation project manager and transportation reviewer for 355 Bennington: this decision is borderline cruel, completely tone deaf, and legally problematic.

Also don't forget to make a reminder to get your yearly flu and COVID-19 vaccines in the fall 🎃, which is the ideal time to get them. It’s safe to get the flu and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time, making it easy to schedule. www.cambridgepublichealth.org/public-healt...

Boo to the flu and Covid too. Get your vaccines by October 31st. From the HHS.gov.

Big day for the Schmidts: we passed the 10k-mile mark on our e-bike! 🥳 Shuttling my son to school and back, and many errands and fun trips between, it’s no understatement to say our lifestyle over the past five years is only possible with an e-bike. Fun to watch the odometer reset!

What a frustrating article, which makes Culbert St sound pastoral. The development fronts Blue Hill Avenue, with a side on Culbert. Culbert is a literal stone’s throw from the BHA Fairmount line entrance, and high frequency 28 and 31 buses. Within a minute walk, one is at shops and services.

We have to support this amazing family as we all mourn the unspeakable loss of a shining light in our city. Wear yellow if possible 💛

Sunday, July 12 @ 4 pm

Please join us this Sunday as we come together to remember and honor

Louisa Gag

A beloved Roslindale native and a cherished member of this community.

Louisa was thoughtful, warm, and had a wonderful sense of humor.
She touched so many lives — as a friend, a neighbor, and someone people simply loved being around.
This gathering is a chance for all of us to be together, share memories, and support one another.
This event is held with the blessing of Louisa's family.
All who knew and loved her are welcome.

Nick Schmidt @cyclejargon.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Louisa’s death is a tremendous and senseless loss for the region. I’ve known her for years. I worked with her near daily up until her death. She was kind, empathetic, charismatic, and sharp. I am somehow both numb and incredibly angry. Boston, we have lost one of our absolute best and brightest.
