The @gbhnews podcast series on Boston's Big Dig finished today. Even if you think you know the story of the Big Dig, this podcast tells it in a level of detail I haven't seen before, with a focus on the human stories behind its construction. It's well worth a listen, especially if you're interested in how #infrastructure is built in the US.

Yet another city providing e-bike incentives, this time in a red state:
Bloomington, Indiana is offering $500 e-bike vouchers ($1,000 for low-income residents).

I'm a pessimist, and I believe that this one will be where Joan Pickett fully mobilizes her goblin army to water down the CSO. I know that the City will do a great job crossing t's and dotting i's, but i'm frankly dreading this process.
Here we go: City is kicking off outreach for Cambridge St (east of Inman) for separated bike lanes and other improvements. Open House Nov 29.
From their project page, a plurality of injury crashes were driver vs. bicyclist.
Bikes and stuff. Widow, dad, taking it bird-by-bird.
So many things are improved by 🦪,🚲, & 🪕.
Just me, very much not my employer. Opting in to be searchable via #tootfinder. #fedi22
