Re: Pleasant St/122 MassDOT redesign. I’m sick and tired of the two old lines (1) no one bikes in Worcester, let’s not add more bike lanes! (2) Worcester is unique, we can’t make it like Boston! On (1) literally people feel unsafe biking, so maybe this can change that? (2) it’s not trying to be!

Vision Zero’s failure pattern in 26 US Cities: “Motorists are hostile to measures that slow traffic and favor pedestrians. Local leaders give token or tepid support. Spending on pedestrian-friendly improvements is not prioritized”
Hopefully Mass communities can do better.

America’s plan to protect pedestrians failed. A young woman’s death reveals why.
U.S. officials adopted Europe's Vision Zero initiative, but many cities have seen an increase in pedestrian fatalities despite efforts to improve road safety.

I don’t know him personally, but I’m told he’s a @massdems.bsky.social central MA leader which leaves me to wonder if this is really what our party leaders should be saying about female candidates for office from our own party? With Dems like this, who needs MAGA Republicans? Do better!

Setti was an excellent Mayor in Newton who I proudly voted for and I always hoped that he would re-enter politics and seek higher office. RIP Mr Mayor.
Setti Warren, who served two terms as mayor of Newton, Mass., has died. Warren, a Navy veteran who was the first African-American to be popularly elected to a mayoral seat in the state, also ran for governor and the US Senate. He was 55. https://bit.ly/3JyIzqb

This is the leadership I would have liked to see in Massachusetts instead of a political press conference that encouraged donating more. I’ll donate - but real leadership from a Governor would have been nice. Betting Sonia Chang Diaz would have delivered

I honestly find it hilarious that maga right wingers love to call people ‘snowflakes’ &mention safe spaces.
But release a light hearted educational quiz about walking, biking, traffic safety and watch them loose their minds. I wonder if they see the irony in being so triggered by a Facebook post?

Love that Worcester DTM has put these up on select crosswalks in the city. Small sample size, but I really think they help! I feel like I’ve had cars stop for me that normally wouldn’t.

All Hail the Humble Speed Hump
These simple, cheap traffic-calming devices are both effective and wildly popular with (most) residents. Here’s why more cities are going all-in on speed humps.

Not getting into the politics of it - but wanted to provide info. In 2024 Worcester installed (for 1st time) 20 permanent speed humps & 44 seasonal humps. This year we’re constructing 36 permanent, 3 raised x-walks, & 40 seasonal humps. To grow from 20 seasonal to this in 2 years is a good thing.
