Bicyclist/pedestrian deaths are preventable & it's past time that Brookline take action. Instead, the TBoard will spend part of this week's meeting discussing creation of a "car user advisory committee" because a vocal minority says that motorists are being "neglected"

many people pointing out it would take billions of dollars to dig a fully new, five-mile Orange Line tunnel — but what about the costs of realigning the Green Line's E branch, connecting the Mattapan trolley to South Station and relocating Aquarium to a new Harbor Island?

Thank you to our Safe Routes to School taskforce members & friends and to especially the Brookline Police bike unit for your assistance with the Pierce bike bus this morning! We had about 20 kids and a dozen adults join a ride from the library to Pierce @ OLS and everyone had a great time! 🚲

Most of Brookline’s library funding comes from the town, but we still use state resources like database access that are supported by federal funding. Cutting IMLS funding will most negatively impact rural communities & smaller systems who rely on this funding to provide basic library services 😢
NEW: The President once again called to eliminate federal library funding in his federal budget proposal. We have been here before. And when we make our voices heard, we can overcome this again.

!["We are not surprised that the White House FY27 budget zeroes out funding for IMLS and IAL. The president’s intentions for IMLS were clear last year with the executive order to dismantle IMLS and cut off its funding [...] ALA members have a solid track record of defeating the president’s threats, but we do not underestimate the lengths to which he will go to undercut support for America’s libraries.

The Board of Library Trustees just voted unanimously to support the override and encourages everyone to vote yes!
If the override fails the library could lose funding for a part-time library assistant. Vote yes and support your library, schools, and other town services.

Hugely disappointed in the Transportation Board for cowing to opposition from some neighborhood residents & postponing pedestrian and cyclist safety improvements for all.

“We love our process in Brookline, and the residents are used to the processes taking place a certain way. I don’t think we necessarily followed our usual process in this case," said Transportation Chair Brian Kane.
The Transportation Board is pressing pause on a proposed redesign of Chestnut Hill Avenue, citing neighborhood opposition to bike lanes and uncertainty about the city of Boston's plans for nearby Cleveland Circle.
