honestly a dumb idea - thats 50 - 60 mil a month from taxes the state will lose. If you want to really help, suspend gas tax on diesel or something to help lower grocery & shipping in the state. Don't suspend it on regular gas. Truckers are getting destroyed

@bostonaruban.bsky.social any chance you could see if the Bikes no Bombs team could park on the other side of the lot at JP brewery complex? More room on the other side with the plants so it doesn't block the sidewalk

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

we're now very connected to the rest of the world and we have great ideas we can pull from, solutions, technology to make this area the gem of the city. It should be, and it can help lower housing prices. More green space, cut energy costs, create more jobs, its a win win win win in every scenario.

#boston needs to grow and admit mistakes and reshape itself when we realize we did something wrong. Blue Hill Ave, and Franklin park / golf course need to be reshaped back into something built for the people again. We've learned alot over the last 100 years and

Anyone who lives and uses franklin park can tell you its used primarily by people who don't live there and by a very particular demographic which does not reflect the folks who surround that park. To have 140 acres of land dedicated to a tiny amount of people is not acceptable anymore

#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.

TrainsBikesBus 🚂 🚲 🚌 @trainsbikesbus.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
And how do we improve the lives of people living in that area. Does it mean we build modern homes they can move into, energy efficent, and everything they need within a 10 15 minute walk? a place they can raise kids or grow old in safely? Get to school by bike or walking? It should be & can be!

Franklin park, blue hill ave are connected at the hip - so when you design for a road, and how to restructure it you have to think of the destinations along it. Not just of how you move people along it, but why, where are they going

TrainsBikesBus 🚂 🚲 🚌 @trainsbikesbus.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
A place that we re-connect with the city by public transit. Trains, supported by bus lines, this is one of the most beautiful spots in #boston but at the same time there are no high paying jobs here, so the community has to drive everywhere to get to their jobs.

This area deserves better, and this could be #bostons version of Central park, Germany's English Garden, except better in many ways. Franklin park is waiting for us to utilize it better, and first step is taking a long look at the space available & dream great things for ourselves & friends

TrainsBikesBus 🚂 🚲 🚌 @trainsbikesbus.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
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...

@brianworrell.bsky.social Wanted to ping you in this so you could read through my write up with franklin park & blue hill ave. I've been thinking about this for years and have been drawing up this article detailing a 10-20-5 year vision

TrainsBikesBus 🚂 🚲 🚌 @trainsbikesbus.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
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...

TrainsBikesBus 🚂 🚲 🚌 @trainsbikesbus.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
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...

Mathematically, there is zero percent chance we solve this housing crisis if we don't go vertical. This is just another instance of something that around the world has been proved wrong. Various cities with large parks built up, and the forests still thrive. Nimby's gonna not in my back yard i guess

how the shadows come into play. Let alone, this is on the very edge of the arb. There are times we need to acknowledge the concern but move forward anyway. This is one of those times. We need to also stop building so short, this is a city in dire need of tall housing

Look, i love the Arb, sent my kids to daycare there for years, was there today scooting around with them. But the Arb complaining about a 3 or 4 story apt going up? If anything this development should be 10 stories. BTW the is space behind this building so i don't even logically understand

TrainsBikesBus 🚂 🚲 🚌 @trainsbikesbus.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
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.

#franklinpark #boston re-imagined. Taking back the meadow and turning it into something truly groundbreaking, welcoming & wonderful for our city. Housing, expanded parks, elder care, childcare, energy, revenue for the city, vertical farms, its a vision worthy of what Boston should be aiming for.

I speak about the history, what the current state of it is, the potential revenue, housing, upgrades, new connections it could make. This park needs a blue hill ave train line & i'm working on that article, but i'm gone for a month so I won't be publishing that for a bit. I touch on it in this tho

This has taken me a long time to write up & design. Its probably not fully completed as all my articles can be updated with new information at any time, I'd like to add more imagery for visions but here are some of them.

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

Truly the only things holding ppl back from biking is protected bike infrastructure and bike parking. Almost no thought given to where a bike can park once it arrives at a destination in the states

Imagine kids being able to take a train to the zoo, to blue hills for hiking or skiing, Franklin Park, all dropped off basically right in front of the destination. It's a good plan and something that use to exist.

TrainsBikesBus 🚂 🚲 🚌 @trainsbikesbus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
The problem is how long would we have to wait. The people along blue hill ave were promised a train many years ago and it makes sense strategically & position wise that it should have a train line that stretches all the way to the blue hills. Reconnect Boston to surrounding areas

TrainsBikesBus 🚂 🚲 🚌 @trainsbikesbus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
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
