This is a great model for Boston to start building actual cycling boulevards on our wide #StroadsOfBoston @wutrain.bsky.social @jfh01.bsky.social. I've seen similar bikeways in Montréal. Build for the future! #BikingInBoston
Want to see NYC's widest #bikenyc lane + a protected intersection?
Here's 31st Ave in Astoria! @misernyc.bsky.social led 50+ on a comfortable cruise! See many angles of the 2-way fun!

🎉 New paper in PNAS: Urban highways are barriers to social ties
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2408937122
Highways are barriers that cut opportunities for social ties. We quantify this effect by overlaying the US highway network with millions of social ties from Twitter.

You can also play this "game" on Columbia Road, Seaver Street, Melnea Cass Boulevard, Blue Hill Ave, Mass Av, so many other #StroadsOfBoston but it's not a game. People are killed with regularity trying to cross the street and @wutrain.bsky.social undoes safety 😔

One of the worst #StroadsOfBoston, another de factor urban highway, an ugly concrete median where the streetcars once ran could be an urban oasis, but doesn't even have a bus or protected bike lane today

The very worst #stroadsofboston will be a recurring series and labor of loathing here. Installment #1 - Congress from Water to Franklin. Feast your eyes on 3 interstate width lanes plus an underprotected bike lane next to widely hailed PO Square Park. Congress literally ruins this side of the park.

Possibly the most dangerous #StroadsOfBoston in terms of fatalities as you can see by this pedestrian trying to sprint across the intersection while an SUV turns into the crosswalk

No highway, but parts of Roxbury still look like they were clear cut and turned into suburban wasteland, built for cars to speed through, not for the people who live here
