Thank you Kay! It was good to see Councilor Durkan joining the other councilors who expressed mystification and frustration about this at a recent hearing. I'm hoping that more pushback from the grassroots and our local leaders will finally yield some transparency.
You certainly are insistent… not even persistent. While I can only speak for myself here in JP, the very idea that between 11-13 speed bumps were placed on Allandale Road where Boston’s last garden center and farm is. That was so unbelievably pathetic that I am glad in only got to read about it.
And the painting of the lines on Center Street rotary with no signs in place to let drivers know about it could have caused accidents for both two wheels and four wheel. This nonsense leads me believe that Mayor Wu has never driven around here and she’s one neighborhood away in Roslindale. What blatant disregard for the auto drivers! I don’t think she has a drivers license and I am not being sarcastic…I’m serious. One or two signs would have been nice.
You are just a bunch of crybabies! It’s obvious that your parents never taught you how to cross the street!
Maureen, I'll grant you that the number of bumps placed on Allendale Road was excessive. That's no reason to roll back the entire program. And your characterization of safe streets supporters as "crybabies" is really uncalled for. Particularly given the number of people who have been killed or severely injured by cars *while obeying the rules of the road.*
These interventions are never perfect when initially rolled out. Other cities have chosen to learn from their early mistakes and continue ahead. Eventually, things have gotten better.
Are you saying getting killed by a vehicle is something new? And furthermore, there is nothing wrong with Hyde Park Avenue that runs by the Forest Hills subway station in Jamaica Plain. I walked to the subway station to go to work every day from 1992 until 2012. I followed the rules and never felt unsafe. That’s the real whining I was referring to.
Thanks for the nudge! I just wrote to the Mayor and my Councilor Durkan!
