Good morning. If you’re in search of unhappy morning-after election news — the woman who led a lawsuit seeking to overturn Cambridge MA’s landmark Cycling Safety Ordinance won a seat on the City Council last night. https://www.cambridgema.gov/Departments/electioncommission/news/2023/11/11723cambridgemunicipalelectionpreliminaryunofficialresults
Having some Cambridge buyer's-remorse. If I wanted to stress about whether or not lofty bike network plans ever came to fruition, i would have been happier overall in Somerville. A promise of a network was codified, and we relied on that.
@bikepedantic I'll have to sign my emails to the council as "Thanks! (except to anyone who has sued the city)"
@bikepedantic ugh, sorry to hear about that
@bikepedantic
that is sad and something I do not understand. how can anyone be against bike safety
Couple that with the news that someone riding a bike suffered severe injuries on a street with unprotected bike lanes as voting wound down yesterday... just a sad morning for Cantabrigians who bike. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/11/07/metro/cyclist-suffers-life-threatening-injuries-cambridge-crash/
