We’d just like to remind #BBCBreakfast that there is no such thing as free #parking - either it’s paid for by the user or it’s another hidden subsidy for drivers paid for by the rest of us.

••IT’S GORGEOUS! Since my first year on the Council we’ve been advocating for a safe crossing and traffic calming on Washington St, in front of the police station, a very busy and dangerous stretch without good crossings.

Japans train stations are just next level even the tracks look taken care of and mostly clean. Not saying in the boondocks they're perfect but in cities they're important epicenters for everything. USA needs to start designing this way to help solve housing issues. Transportation is intertwined

#franklinpark was never intended to be a golf course. It was supposed to be a huge chunk of land put aside for the public to use. Its time we take it back. There are 7 other golf courses within a 10 mile radius. We don't need one in the center of Boston.

How do we heal the Franklin park scars we've created? Slicing it in half with a road, building a golf course on public land that a tiny fraction of people utilize, ripping out trains that brought people there safely, and easily. It hurt the entire community www.trainsbikesbus.com/franklin-par...

Franklin park is a centerpiece - Blue Hill Ave is a connector. We need a train on blue hill ave, buses to work in support, but the long term vision for blue hill ave should be a train supported by buses, bike lanes, and sidewalks. www.trainsbikesbus.com/franklin-par...

Instead of a golf course, we could transform franklin park entirely in to a bigger, more connected, more usable space. One that is built for everyone, one that we take a bit of space on the edges and provide thousands of units of housing. It can be done! www.trainsbikesbus.com/franklin-par...

this is crazy. This isn't even a tall building, how in the heck is this going to "effect" the arboretum. I love that place but this has got to be some kinda joke. The current building in this spot is literally 3 stories, did they yell at the nuns living there? This is why boston has no housing.

If only the USA tracks matched their trains. In theory, we could actually have true bullet train speed all over #massachusetts & new england...but we need separated tracks and investing in new rail. Can't use the old stuff, ain't gonna work for true high speed rail. NYC ride is bumpy as hell #boston

Something I find particularly infuriating is that when you *do* act outraged over pedestrian deaths you are treated as hysterical and as if you're overreacting.

This is why I believe major projects should focus on trains with buses in support roles. And while I support upgrading blue Hill Ave to bus lanes it is something that will need upgrading to a train in the future. Buses are not an end game solution but a stepping stone. Train is the true solution.

Just a reminder. When projects are proposed you should send in your ideas 💡 because voices in support of public infrastructure like protected bike lanes, trains, sidewalks, buses r very useful 4 planners. Always loud car voices but they need public infrastructure voices even a small comment is good

its time for leaders to follow facts not car brainwashed opinions. Truth is, cities don't need cars. They do need delivery, emergency, construction, and assistance vehicles. But in general, especially a city like #boston cars really aren't needed. You can bike across it in about half hour

And one note to the Wu administration, which I support in its climate work: Boston’s Green Ribbon Commission is, was, and will remain beholden to developers. Ask me for receipts. Developers building in flood zones should have already contributed $100s of millions into a climate mitigation fund.

dropping my kids off at summer camp one thing i notice - is that the police have no way of enforcing traffic laws. No turn on red? Nah no one cares. Red lights? nah no one cares. Blocking intersections at lights? nah no one cares. Stop babying cars and treat them like adults. Accountability.

#boston lets up our splash pad game. Brooklines parks for splash pads & playgrounds are honestly better than many of ours. This bit of interactivity, that allows for more than just water shooting out is an easy, but very fun addition from my observations. Kids love it! Most have b-rooms too!
