We need bigger ideas on housing, the MBTA, and transportation, and the appetite to fight for them. Lander has that. Brownsberger doesn’t. Lander wholeheartedly embraces the vision these organizations fight for. Brownsberger treats bold ideas as politically difficult rather than worth fighting for.
Lander’s response. He strongly supports ideas for new housing.Will Brownsberger’s response. He “somewhat supports” ideas, and says “changing Boston’s zoning regime may be near impossible”

It’s odd to me the MBTA Worcester/Framingham line schedule budgets 16 mins for the ride from Lansdowne to Back Bay Even at a slow pace, it just took 3 mins

100-mile bike ride today, and ~70% of it was on trails Much of Boston road section had bike lanes, and the suburban roads were ok. Also, some of the road sections could be done on trail/sidewalk (e.g. waltham, southie), but road was ok alternative when considering speed

Unlocked 8 new towns by bike today! That's two Saturdays in a row I've taken the train down to New Bedford. Dartmouth and Westport were particularly pretty

I wasn’t in New Bedford itself for too long, but it was a pleasant ride around the south coast. pretty quiet down there, and there’s a nice rail trail along the ocean in Fairhaven/Mattapoisett

My work has these bike racks, and I appreciate the high capacity… but it’s never filled It’d be much nicer to just have fewer, well spaced, normal racks– but then the development wouldn’t get to claim to the city that they have 40+ bike parking spaces

I somehow always seem to bike about 2,700 miles a year, regardless of bike trips or setbacks: 2022 - Central NY is cold snowy and hilly + Two centuries + 3 week NL tour 2023 - broken collarbone + erie canal 2024/2025 + regular biking for transportation all year - fewer long weekend rides

Ooh I like how this plaza connects to the bridge between Lansdowne station’s platform It would be nice if they added a sound barrier between the platform and highway though

Last June I did another camping/biking/ferry/CapeFlyer/rail-trail adventure to Provincetown and the Cape The ptown dunes were so beautiful, and the Wellfleet Hollow Campground is conveniently located at the end of the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which provides easy access to beaches and restaurants

Long weekend biking/camping trip to Martha's Vineyard– my first time there It's very easy to take the New Bedford ferry via MBTA's new South Coast Rail, and the Shining Sea Bikeway was a pleasant ride up to the CapeFlyer MV has some nice bike paths, quiet roads, and beautiful coastline

They’ve been installing these stripes all along the Brookline section of Muddy River/Emerald Necklace path. Some thoughts - Sharks teeth facing the wrong way - what does this mean, that people coming from the side path have right of way? - just seems unnecessary. It’s a fairly quite path

Here’s the previous design. And also, here is a spot in Chinatown with a similar setup, where I’ve regularly had issues with cars turning during the green bike signal. Hopefully it works better at BU bridge

New bike lane configuration at the Boston side of the BU bridge I hope this works well. Should probably have some NTOR signs

Fun fact: President Roads, the modern shipping channel into the Harbor, wasn't always there. Ships used to have to come in via the Narrows between Georges and Lovells Islands, which explains their forts and the location of Boston Light ericbender.co/history-of-t...

Very interesting story here... 60% of Kraft's contributions are the $1,000 maximum 85% of Wu's are less than $150 13% of Kraft's supporters are out of state 3.6% of Wu's are out of state (data since Jan 1 - dashboard coming soon)
Chart showing that 476 of Kraft's 789 contributions are the $1000 maximum, while 0 are less and $50Chart showing that most of Mayor Wu's contributions are less than $150Chart showing that Kraft's contributors are mostly from MA (684), but a 27 are from FL, 18 NY, 14 CT, etc.Followed by 1604 contributors in MA, Mayor Wu's next most popular state is CA with only 10 contributors

Pretty cool how well integrated the MBTA GO app is with everything they do The south side closure of the Orange Line was posted 10 minutes ago, due to fire department activity at Stony Brook, and it appeared in the app in tandem with the announcement
