MGH station used to have wings that reached over each side of the road w/stairs. Eventually the stairs rusted out & they needed to become ADA compliant so to cut costs they removed those wings from the '09 redesign. With the Red/Blue connector this might change.

So a thing I'm noticing is people replying to tweets about if Twitter stops working or if Twitter goes away by talking about Twitter being overrun by bots or drowning in racism or what we think the turning point will be. I just want to clarify: the site might stop working.
A couple more pictures of the GLX Community Path. In the 1st pic, you can get a sense of what a bike looks like realtive to the width of the path. In the 2nd pic, you can see how the curb cut isn't aligned with the Path's entrance.

Today in the store I saw Organic Peanut Butter, made with Organic Palm Oil. I'm so glad there are so many healthy and environmentally friendly organic options out there.
This morning my colleague @karti614 took me on a tour of the screens throughout the MBTA system and I am still just buzzing with excitement from it, so with his permission I'm sharing some of it here.
"While there is **no requirement for a technical background** to serve on the BZA, an interest and understanding of development, architecture, urban design, and zoning law is desirable." If you have followed me for a bit, you probably qualify. Let me talk you into this.

would it be so controversial to want everyone be able to have transit like this in their daily lives?
@nilocobau @HorselessAge loved this 2018 blog from @skyqrose, imo it's the definitive piece on the subject: medium.com/@skyqrose/red-…
"Lol we don't need Warnock" is what people say who haven't worked in Congress and don't know how it works. Here are the differences that 51st Senator can make, just off the top of my head: 1/x

The transformation of Minneapolis's downtown in the last 10ish years is kind of incredible. Better things are possible, your city can do this too :)

No. Massachusetts was in fact built on the stolen land of the Wampanoag, Massachusett, Nipmuc, Nauset, Penacook, Stockbridge-Munsee, Pocumtuc, Nonotuck, Mohican and other Indigenous tribes.
Massachusetts is home to the first public park, school and library in America. The first ironworks, printing press — and the first battle of the Revolution. Massachusetts wasn’t built on division or fear. It was built on courage, and built by working together to get things done.
@crschmidt Oh, reminded me 😁 Me, struggling to park car bc challenging neighbors partially blocked driveway again, mutters: "they're constantly violating social norms" 11yo in back seat, tremulously: "but ... what exactly are they doing to the worms? And why only the friendly ones??" 🤣
If I die on a city road without a protected bike lane, I don't want a ghost bike. I want a memorial bike lane. And if the city says it's not possible, I want people to advocate until it is.
a conspiracy theory i believe is that some roads in massachusetts were created solely for police overtime not for transportation
Okay, Google. We get it.
We won. Question 1 passes. The Fair Share Amendment is in the Massachusetts constitution.
Opening a single door at the high level platform at the absolute back end of Back Bay and thus having a 2 minute swell time at 10 pm is such a ridiculous way to run a railroad.
Elon Musk is doing an all hands with Twitter employees. They got a one hour notice and he showed up 15 minutes late.
FASCISM IS DEAD IN AMERICA AFTER DEVASTATING LOSS 49.7-49.3
When my youngest was nine months old, he was in the cruising stage of learning to walk. He fell and hit his head. We’d baby proofed the house and had his cruising contained in a very small area. We took him to the ER and before they even examined him, they filed a CPS report.
From an urbanist/transit-policy standpoint, this is fascinating: Americans think only 66% have a car, but still create policies that make it impossible to get around without a car. Only 5 cities have car ownership rates below 66%: NYC, Newark, Jersey City, DC, and Boston.
