excellent, someone has posted the article to local nextdoor. Strap yourselves in, kids.
@bikepedantic glad to see I’m not the only one still thinking about this piece
I'm old enough to remember when MassDCR ignored a public process and even a city vote in favor of keeping pandemic full-weekend closures, and reverted without a word to Sunday only.
Somehow, that process withstood the authors' affinity for transparency and consultation! What was the critical difference? Hmm.
