This a 1938 photo of Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, taken during the morning rush. There is no imagined past when traffic didn't exist. As long as vehicles have existed there has been vehicle traffic, it's a geometry problem.
I think about this during fights over open streets when opponents claim streets have always been for cars. As you can see from Lexington & 89th in 1911 and 2005, that wasn't the case. We made decisions to whittle away space for people and give it to cars. That can be reversed.
❗ Only 1 more week until late-night service returning to all lines during the week and on weekends. Final outbound trains will depart Boston closer to midnight. #FallWinterScheduleChangeHighlight 📆 Check your specific train schedule: MBTA.com/cr
this is the correct color palette for transit

Today is a great reminder that people in Massachusetts really love the T and want to see it thrive—I’m glad we’re ending the year with this hope for the future.

So #proudmom of my son @transitalex and his work highlighted in his grandfather’s last place of employment @BostonGlobe! ‘We’re in this together’: Residents get creative to help others navigate Orange Line shutdown bostonglobe.com/2022/08/22/met… via @BostonGlobe
With the Orange Line and part of the Green Line out of service for a month, a grassroots effort has emerged to help riders with the confusion and delay, with people volunteering in a range of creative ways. trib.al/60g7XAR
The last bus of the night being full is a useful data point suggesting that perhaps this should not be the last bus of the night.
It's ridiculously hard to go to the beach in Massachusetts. So for @GlobeIdeas, I wrote about how the state could launch a beach bus program to expand public access to beaches where towns put up barriers like non-resident parking bans. bostonglobe.com/2022/08/11/opi…
Harvard MBTA Station, Cambridge, MA 02163 A uniquely subterranean location, this Dunkin is an oasis nestled in the bosom of the Harvard Square MBTA station. The moment of joy when it appears at the bottom of the escalator cannot be replicated at other locations.
Diesel exhaust from Fairmount Line trains is enveloping the Juneteenth Day event at Martini Shell Park in Hyde Park - talk about environmental justice.
If "Share The Road" feels more difficult/dangerous than it used to, it's because it is.
Listen to @BrooklynSpoke regale us with this heartwarming tale of traffic, gridlock & cars and how affects people around the streets where he works. Sit back for an excerpt of "Clusterf*ck on Varick: The Case for Congestion Pricing" and bring ample tissues, you will need them!
