It's not easy to bring together Democrats, Republicans, technology leaders, the @ACLU, the @nypl, and 67 mayors from across the US, but @AjitPaiFCC has managed to unite all these folks in opposition to his disastrous #NetNeutrality repeal.

- In January, I’ll be returning to City Hall as the @CityOfBoston’s next Chief of Streets. I am honored and excited to be joining @MayorWu and her team as we work to build a safer, fairer, greener transportation system for Boston. 🧵Excited to welcome @jfh as our new Chief of Streets! I’ve worked alongside Jascha & can’t wait to see his creativity, dedication & vision back at City Hall. From snow removal to bike lanes, better bus service to sustainable stormwater infrastructure—we have so much to do!
- DO NOT DO THIS. If you are a business lucky enough to have a driveway, do not plow it into the path the sidewalk. It is illegal, dangerous, and we will cite you.
- Bike lanes are basic transportation infrastructure.
- What’s your definition of good transit? Mine is: Never feeling the need to sprint for the train/bus because I know another one is on the way.
- Happy fare free bus day from the Route 29. Excited to be here for the start of this two-year pilot on three key routes in Boston.
- Tonight the @CityofBoston is installing the first temporary bus lanes to support Orange Line shuttle riders, just 11 days after the @MBTA announced the shutdown. We’re marking around Copley Square now, and moving on to Government Center over the next few nights.
- As a taxpayer, I'd like to install a bike corral on my block. Where can I get a free permit for that?"Charging somebody who lives in the city of Boston, who pays taxes in the city of Boston ... for a parking sticker to park on their street, I just don't feel is fair," Mayor Marty Walsh said. to.wgbh.org/6018E5vIa
- I had a nice bike ride into City Hall this morning and wanted to share a few thoughts on bike lanes and snow.🧵
- Teamwork makes the dream work. Grateful to the @MBTA for keeping essential transportation running in Boston throughout the storm today.
- We are building raised crosswalks here in Boston now too. These ones went in along Tremont in the South End last fall. More to come this year. This will become a regular part of our street design toolkit.
via @NYTimes Wow, just wow - if NYC can do it (albeit v slowly) why not Boston? @MayorWu @BostonPWD @jfh @WalkBoston @StreetsBoston @walkuprozzie @bostonbikeunion nytimes.com/2022/03/02/nyr… - Amazing #OpenStreetsBoston on Blue Hill Ave today. Roxbury showed up despite in the heat. Each neighborhood is unique, but the feeling of joy and community is the same.
- Streets are more than just a way to get from A to B. They can be a place for community, a place to connect, a place for joy. Grateful to all who made our very first neighborhood Open Streets event such a success today.
- I am deeply saddened that a man riding a bike was killed by a truck in our city yesterday. My thoughts are with the victim's family, and also on the need for the City to do more to protect people on our streets.
