Cambridge St PBL update: They're going ahead with 2025 installation from Inman Sq to Willow St (which selfishly is where I ride, and where i was knocked off my bike) despite the CSO delay. So, yay. The remainder (Willow St to Lechmere) slips to 2027. Boo. https://www.cambridgema.gov/StreetsAndTransportation/ProjectsAndPrograms/CambridgeStreetSafetyImprovementProject

We’re thrilled to announce 3DStreet Geospatial Pro (Early Access) combining 3D map integrations, street geometry generation, model placement, AR features, and more. Thanks to all the users, contributors, & partners like for making this possible! https://www.3dstreet.org/blog/2024/06/14/announcing-3dstreet-geospatial-pro/
MassDOT has temporary bike counters down on the Community Path (just east of Davis Sq) and Mass Ave (just north of Porter Sq). Maybe measuring change in volumes and route choice after the GTX trail opening?
It’s all a prelude to a Chevron repeal https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/01/supreme-court-likely-to-discard-chevron/
So glad I moved, volume 128
It’s depressing how many of the modest promises that JBGSmith and Amazon made to South Arlington have been predictably slow-walked or broken.
But they’ll still spend half-a-billion to put a seven-lane highway at grade next to a train station. https://www.arlnow.com/2024/06/13/plan-to-swap-proposed-crystal-city-library-for-5-8m-could-become-final-this-weekend/

After some conversations with friends NOT on the fediverse I've arrived at calling it "independent social media."
This is better than "open source" or other titles, it better conveys the central difference.
I can feel the depression seeping in, the further and further away I get from my last long run

Anyone who uses "woke" as a pejorative or an insult is telling me all I need to know about them, and that I don't want to know any more about them.
They can fuck right off into the sun. 
Check out the Transportation Equity Caucus' new pub, "Actions for Decriminalizing Transportation and Movement: A Vision for Antiracist Approaches to Safety." Besides advocating to get rid of enforcement as a transpo safety strategy, it also promotes self-enforcing system elements like design. https://equitycaucus.org/decriminalizing-transportation-and-movement

Ocasio-Cortez, Raskin to introduce legislation to ‘rein in a fundamentally unaccountable and rogue’ Supreme Court
Keeping conservatives away from children in every context is our duty as Americans.
Googling this of course only yields the news that she was running, not that voters’ autoimmune response of sensibility rejected her like the hostile virus that she is.

Ward 5's Zachary Parker calls for a pause on Mendelson & McDuffie's sports betting overhaul: "This should not be done in the cloak of darkness with private meetings and lobbyists running around the Wilson Building trying to get this deal done."
