Boston: we have too much traffic and not enough car parking spaces
Paris: make your city bike friendly and not everyone needs a car to get around! And hey, you can do it really quickly. We put in "bike boulevards" during the pandemic shutdown
@wutrain.bsky.social: no, not like that #WusUTurn
Anyway, this is the future I want for Boston, a city where there is mobility justice, climate resilient transportation systems, and where Vision Zero is a reality not a broken promise
I'm not a cynical person by nature but #WusUTurn may have broken my trust in politicians

In a time where federal funds are scarce, we have an administration that's willing to let that money go if it's marked for safety. Actions speak louder than words!
#WusUTurn
NYC is gearing up for the World Cup by fast tracking mobility projects, similar to how Paris did before the 2024 Olympics with their "bike boulevards" This is how a 21st century city builds got the future
@wutrain.bsky.social has already lost us one year of progress. So disappointing #WusUTurn
@mayorwu.boston.gov @wutrain.bsky.social why are we delaying this? I put my life on the line every time I have to bike on the SWC and cross the side-streets on Columbus Ave. This project will bring meaningful safety improvements. Is my life not worth it? This is not why I voted for you. #WusUTurn
"Consensus" around Hyde Park Ave and the speed bumps program has been clear. These programs are hugely popular yet Mayor Wu has stopped them.
We need to demand that federal money for street safety doesn't go unused and back to the Trump admin. Send a letter to the Mayor:

Let her know why safe streets are important to you! #WusUTurn

3. What’s something you learned about the city’s transit system — you know, not just the MBTA itself but the ecosystem at large, if you will, — during the Orange Line shutdown period? What’s one thing that I learned? That we can, in fact, move quickly and do big things when we choose to.
just want her back 💔💔💔 #WusUTurn

Pedal to the metal Wu laid out several plans to make Boston more bike-friendly, including learn-to-bike workshops, a $1.5 million e-bike rebate program for seniors and riders with disabilities, and a program that will offer 10,000 free Bluebikes subscriptions to residents with a Boston Public Library card. By this winter, she said, Boston will have added nearly 10 more miles of bike lanes “as part of our commitment to making Boston 100% cyclable by 2030.” The city is also adding 100 new Bluebikes stations to expand public bike shares by 40%, according to Wu.
"Pedal to the metal" is absolutely what's needed to address climate change, and now our abrupt descent into skyrocketing gas prices. @mayorwu.boston.gov was elected overwhelmingly and now she's broken her promises & decides for car drivers not street safety #WusUTurn

If you want to see how stark her 180 has been, read this interview from 2022. She absolutely understood that safe biking and dedicated bus lanes are how you improve mobility and quality of life in addressing Boston's intractable traffic congestion #WusUTurn

Mayor Wu did a complete U-Turn on how she ran for office. She promised us a #BostonGreenNewDeal and mobility equity, less pollution, safer streets, faster and more reliable bus trips. And @jfh01.bsky.social delivered!
Last year she shut it all down. #WusUTurn is catastrophic for safety & climate
