Weโ€™re working every day to improve sidewalks across the city, making it safer and easier for everyone to get around.

Deputy Chief Julia Campbell walks us through the process of how sidewalks get repaired in Boston. If you see a sidewalk that needs work, let us know with @311.boston.gov.

We also finished piloting a school-bus-only street at the King Elementary School. By reducing congestion near the school, we explored opportunities to make arrival and dismissal smoother and safer.

Over the weekend, we hosted a block party to collect feedback about school commutes!

On average it takes less than 1 day for a pothole reported to 311 to be filled by the Public Works Department.

PWD is working around the clock to address @311.boston.gov pothole cases as fast as possible.

If you spot a pothole, report it by calling 3-1-1 (617-635-4500) or with the BOS:311 app.

Today I launched our campaign for re-electionโ€”because Boston families deserve a Mayor who fights for them.

Here in Boston, we stand up. We fight. We win. And we show the world that when we work together, anything is possible.

"A terrified young student, snatched off the street by a masked police force taken thousands of miles across the country without anyone knowing. It is as flatly authoritarian as anything we have ever seen in this country," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk's detention.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu looks on before a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on sanctuary cities' policies at the US Capitol in Washington, D.C. A quote on the card from Wu reads: โ€œThis federal administration is making hard-working, tax-paying, God-fearing people afraid to live their lives. A city thatโ€™s scared is not a city thatโ€™s safe. A land ruled by fear is not the land of the free.โ€ Photo by Kayla Bartkowski/Getty
