The amiibo we never got

Very proud of this report and thankful for all of my colleagues who helped analyze the data and shape the document! Most of all, thankful to be part of this incredible team building a more bikeable Cambridge. I’m the lucky guy who gets to brag about the positive impact of their work!

My son was just asking about this when we walked by

Boston did not clear snow from the bike lanes after the storm two weeks ago, so our community came together to do so. "We just want to get home safe and alive!" @bikeboston.bsky.social @streets.boston.gov @mayorwu.boston.gov @universalhub.com @wcvb5.bsky.social @mass.streetsblog.org

My guys, I’m still waiting for Ray’z and Eschatos. Almost now three years since ordered…

Seeing an empty buffer and a full bike lane of snow is like a Looney Tuned gag where paramedics ignore the victim after rushing out with the stretcher.

Yes. It could.

People work hard to at least get us this far and I thank them. But in Boston the overall response for walking and biking has been poor. A week out, so many intersections impassible. I’ve seen one bike lane plowed on my routes. Very disappointing from this admin, who has flipped hard on biking. 🤷‍♂️

Central Square Bluebikes station cleared of snow

Thank you, @ridebluebikes.bsky.social for digging out and keeping bikeshare accessible! All stations in Cambridge have been dug out and any remaining stations in the region should be cleared today. Sidewalks and paths leading to stations could still be difficult, so please be careful!

A street and bike lane in Cambridge, Massachusetts, cleared of snow

Thank you to the stellar @cambridgemass.bsky.social DPW for keeping everyone moving! Streets and bike lanes are pretty clear in Cambridge, with lingering snow piles at corners to be cleared in time. Remember to go slow, be forgiving, and look out for another!

Yes but this was Sunday night so everything was erased by Monday morning 😭

If you’re able, clear a bus stop. Our T operators keep us running and they’re very appreciative. Plus it’s a great way to connect with and inspire your neighbors.

New station alert! 📍 Craigie and Brattle St / Sparks St is now open in Cambridge. Steps from Harvard Square, you’re close to world-class museums, the Charles River paths, unique shops along Brattle Street, and endless spots to grab coffee or a bite.

Thank your DPW

My friend, how do you have the time?

It’s a fun map and I genuinely commend the folks who made this but it’s wildly inaccurate. Seems like it would be more accurate to call this a renovation, not construction, map.

I am in the McGrath Highway -> Boulevard project meeting for the 25% design presentation. You can join me here: www.mass.gov/event/somerv...

The most Atlanta thing possible: no people. Not knocking your lovely photos, but as a Georgian who has lived Atlanta for some time, it can feel desolate

That feeling when @thewaroncars.bsky.social compliments your design

Wow this is bad.

Judging by these photos alone, some misallocation of space (overly wide green areas yet narrow sidewalks) and adding fences to both sides of the street tells me this is still a car sewer, albeit a very pretty one.

Almost half the Waymos on California streets are driving around empty. They're either waiting for the next customer or en route for a pickup.

If robotaxis scale, anything close to that level of deadheading would create crushing gridlock.

Loved playing this on the PS1 with my brothers. Eventually memorized where every enemy would pop up. We were blown away at the time by the realistic graphics.
