"I have commuted by bike through the rough roads of Beacon Hill for a decade. Now that the project is complete, I get to experience another joy: watching groups of kids commute to school using the bike lanes. What a difference this makes for our community."

Rob Saka’s curb feud got more public process than some of these major budget changes.
These are among the very-last-last-minute amendments Strauss put on the agenda last night for a vote today. Strauss says that they need to "begin weaning ourselves off of using JumpStart for the general fund"—arguably something they should have started doing already!

Lime/Bird (bike & scooter share) are really great for connecting to things like Link Light Rail quickly but the cost just seems too high for daily use.
