Our statement on the killing of two cyclists in the last week
On Monday a 74-year-old woman was killed riding her bike on Rt 6 in Dartmouth. This news comes just as the cycling and safe streets community is mourning the death of 36-year-old transportation planner and activist Louisa Gag who was struck and killed while riding on Tremont St. in Boston.
Malden Safe Streets joins the thousands of community members and activists in remembering Louisa and the tremendous impact her life, and now her tragic death, have had on our community. As an organization, we remain committed to raising awareness, driving dialogue, and tirelessly advocating for investment in safety improvements and accessibility for all, particularly our must vulnerable road users. 
Malden’s own Jim Tarr told the Boston Globe that he worked closely with Gag on the Bluebikes system, saying street safety improvements cannot be considered a “nicety or a privilege.”
“We really owe Louisa’s memory an urgency about how we make and remake our streets and our neighborhoods,” Tarr said. “At this point, it’s a moral imperative.”
We could not agree more Jim! Thank you for speaking out, we are here to support you in your efforts to make Malden streets safer for all.

Statement from @bikeboston.bsky.social, @streetsboston.bsky.social, and @walkmass.bsky.social about Louisa Gag, who was hit and killed by a driver today. Yet another life taken because our society and leaders refuse to address the destruction wrought by cars.
We are devastated by the loss of Boston resident and transportation planner, Louisa Gag. On Thursday morning, a driver struck and killed Louisa on her bicycle commute to city hall along Tremont Street near Roxbury Crossing.
Louisa Gag is not just a number on a spreadsheet; she was a champion for safer streets, a vibrant part of the planning and advocacy community, and a person dedicated to fixing the very system that failed her.
MASSACHUSETTS VISION ZERO COALITION
Prior to joining the city of Boston's Transportation Department, Louisa graduated with a masters from the Tufts Urban and Environmental Planning and Policy program and worked at Livable Streets Alliance. Our hearts are with Louisa, her family, and all her colleagues and friends at BTD, UEP, and in the advocacy community.
Fatalities are a heartbreaking reminder of the safety gaps in our infrastructure. Inaction and needless delays have consequences. Changes must be made to dangerous streets before we lose a community member, not after.
We need safer streets now.

My friend is dead. A driver, through neglect, recklessness or malice, has killed Louisa. I’m beside myself with grief and filled with righteous anger at a city that has stalled and slow-walked safety improvements for all road users. Louisa should be here with us.
