Planters divide the car portion of the street and protect the bidirectional bike lane

A family bikes down the bike lane at night. The street surface is shiny from rain

Safer streets turn a dangerous stroad into a true Complete Street. Making a street safer and friendly so you can safely travel outside of a car lets us all exhale, slow down and invite community, greet our neighbor and have a conversation, shop and live our lives #CarLiteBoston @berkie1.bsky.social

The benefits of reducing car dependency in Boston will come to all of us: less air pollution, less rage, less risk crossing the street, less noise

It's hard to imagine, but what if more of our neighbors in Boston were JUST IN BETTER MOODS? #CarLiteBoston

What would a #CarLiteBoston look like? What would it sound like? How would our lives change? What lives would not be lost?

#LowTrafficNeighborhoods, or "Neighborways" as they call them in Somerville would be a way to make our city streets safer and our residents less car dependent

This is the future I want for Boston. There are lots of ways to get around in a city that don't involve massive and highway designed SUVs and gargantuan gender-affirming pickup trucks #CarLiteBoston

Boston needs to build the #BostonBikeNetwork connecting every neighborhood with safe active transportation infrastructure #CarLiteBoston

Boston? Happy??? #CarLiteBoston

Not every street needs cars #CarLiteBoston

What if Boston became known for something besides our terrible traffic congestion #CarLiteBoston

I would love to see @wutrain.bsky.social take this to heart. Making streets safer is very popular despite the opinions of a handful of billionaires and wealthy donors

You're literally saving the lives of children and grandparents and unlocking more freedom to move for all generations #CarLiteBoston

Boston could go from a good city to a great city but we need to prioritize the movement of people over cars #CarLiteBoston

Think of all the space we waste on cars in places like the North End in Boston #CarLiteBoston

If you can pedestrianize Broadway in NYC, Boston can make Newbury St permanently car free #CarLiteBoston

Boston must. Climate change is real and we need to transition to a #CarLiteBoston to give our sea level city built on landfill and stilts a chance to survive

Boston should #CarLiteBoston

Exactly, Boston is still so far behind Camberville, but it's still far behind NYC of 10 years ago. And DC. And Minneapolis. And Portland, OR.

Boston should be the best biking city in the US but I can't even bike safely anywhere in Dorchester, our biggest neighborhood. We need a #CarLiteBoston!

Boston prioritize people over parking challenge #CarLiteBoston #BosPoli #BanCars

Boston will fulfill its true potential when we decide to build homes for people and not cars #CarLiteBoston #BanCars

This is the future I want for Boston but we're gonna need more bike parking #CarLiteBoston #FreeRangeKids

This is a great article on how to support mode shift. Hint: it's about community, support, and making it fun! #CarLiteBoston #BikingInBoston @bikeboston.bsky.social

6 cars and trucks parked in a gravel lot next to houses on a sunny day

Cars dominate Boston to such a degree that we build more homes for cars than people during a dire housing shortage

Looking to the left of this dangerous intersection, we see a parking lot in one of the most desirable and pricey neighborhoods in Boston. This should be housing! #CarLiteBoston

Wishing Boston would follow the climate leadership of StL #ThisIsAGoodBikeLane @wutrain.bsky.social @jfh01.bsky.social #CarLiteBoston

How much small business and tax revenue is Boston missing out on because we treat pedestrianization as a special treat, not the preferred way people want to experience their city? #CarLiteBoston

Boston could

#CarLiteBoston

Bike paths are an amenity people are willing to pay for #CarLiteBoston

Cars ruin cities, and what do you know, when you get rid of cars, cities become lively and prosperous #CarLiteBoston

The whole corridor can be improved. It's very traffic-heavy, sidewalk is right by traffic, and lots of drivers speed as soon as they see a traffic light

The catchment area around T stops and schools are the best places to start building a #CarLiteBoston that is people and kid friendly

What if Boston wanted to cut road injuries and death?

What is a #LowTrafficNeighborhood? It's a way to fight cut through traffic and make it safe enough for people to travel outside of cars #CarLiteBoston @ruthzee.bsky.social @clrhenrysantana.bsky.social @enriquepepen.bsky.social

Storrow Drive when? #CarLiteBoston #BanCars #PedestrianizeStorrowDr

It's unsafe to travel outside of cars in Boston so we've gridlocked the city with people forced into cars + overengineered the streets to try and manage it

Now drivers fully ignore it all: stop signs, red lights, parking regulations, drivers don't gaf and run 🚦🛑 and block bike lanes #CarLiteBoston
