Here’s a map that shows the area where the Provincetown Select Board is proposing to ban people from riding bikes but allow people
to drive cars. It encompasses Commercial St through the center of town from the library all the way to the Canteen restaurant. You can read our statement about the proposal and our suggestions for ways to improve safety on the street: https://bikescape.org/pedal-blog/dont-ban-bikes#Provincetown#CapeCod#SafeStreets#traffic#mapoli#bicycle#cycling#BikeTooter
@thepoliticalcat@qkslvrwolf yes - we gotta pay attn to Congress and VOTE this fall! I think some of us in #MA have an opportunity in September as well as November. Of course voting won’t save us on it’s own, but esp. on a local level it matters a lot.
anyone have updates on the MA state #flag and #seal redesign?
This @gbhnews
article from last year said no design was currently being considered post the decision to remove the current racist imagery? #mapoli#news#art
First big group ride this year with local cycling group Charles River Wheelers (CRW).
Rode through some very wealthy suburban towns (Dover is the wealthiest town in Massachusetts with median household income of $250k+)
Very fast paced group. Started with the 2nd group (15-16mph pace) but caught the first group (17-18mph pace) shortly after. I stayed with the first group and average speed of this ride is 17.9mph!
I was curious about these towns (of course) so I looked them up. The wealthiest towns in MA all keep their zoning restrictions on residential properties to be at least 1+ acre, which pushes the property price really high. I saw a lot of humongous houses in Dover and Sherborn today.
This picture (from Reddit) is basically the local politics in MA (Weston is one of the two "W towns" in MA that're 2nd and 3rd wealthiest in the state).
Thank you to everyone that is addressing the reality we’re increasingly faced with - a system that destroys our future. The #climate crisis is here. We have to stop the insanity of believing in trickle-down economics and imagine with open-mindedness a different way of doing things

The infighting is so fierce because the stakes are so small: far-right talk-show host Jeff Kuhner, embroiled in a feud with Howie Carr, calls for a boycott of the Boston Herald (via Contrarian Boston). #mapolihttps://www.bostonbroadside.com/massgop/boycottherald/
Governor Healey’s newly-created Transportation Funding Task Force, which will make recommendations for a more sustainable long-term source of public revenues for the MBTA and other statewide transportation projects, will meet for the first time Thursday afternoon.
Several municipal positions are up this year. Filing deadline April 30.
Brandon James Griffin and Shiva Ayyadurai are challenging Warren for a seat in the U.S. Senate.
We need to ditch Stephen Lynch for sure—so if you live in District 8, see what you can do! Pls confront every incumbent b/c Washington is sick, and the closer you get they more slippery they tend to be.
