On Sunday, November 16, we will gather to remember those we have lost and encourage our state legislators to pass legislation for automated enforcement and expanded truck safety requirements that will help prevent crashes that end in tragedy.

As of October 20, a total of 273 people have been killed on Massachusetts roads this year alone, including forty pedestrians and seven cyclists. These deaths are preventable, and we will not accept any loss of life on our roads.

We’ve been in touch w/ the bicycle and pedestrian advisory committee, and even led a training w/ them earlier this year! bsky.app/profile/grav...
Some photos from the walk audit, which the brewery owner joined.
One thing I noticed: People drive a lot slower around intersections when there's a crowd of people.
Thank you to @walkmass.bsky.social for organizing this! I learned a ton to take back to my town.

Anyway, that’s it. Go check out a tree today.
If you can do it safely, of course, in this dense, hot, excessively paved place we call home.
Oh yeah, also don’t go on a turf field today. Basically instant heatstroke. Grass will be nice though, especially in the shade.

Trees are pretty amazing bits of urban infrastructure. They’re basically the only capital asset that gets -better- after being in place for 20 years … and they’re wildly cross functional.
Traffic calming, cooling, beautification, air filtering …
