34 people have died (to date) either walking or cycling in Boston since @[email protected] took office. #VisionZeroBoston is a complex effort that will take years to improve safety
But you do not make streets safer by stopping projects and removing bike lane delineation
If I was in charge of #VisionZeroBoston I would start with slow zones, or car free/lite zones around schools in Boston
More raised crosswalks, more bollards, find out from kids and parents how to make the school trip walkable and bikeable so kids can have more independence @[email protected]
March Penn on Instagram: "Hey, Boston drivers, stop turning onto pedestrians in crosswalks. Especially near schools! Do better. #bostondriverssuck #abolishconcurrentcrossing #strongopinions #pedestriansafety #walkingcity"

If you're concerned that the city refuses to act protectively and only responds... eventually, when someone is actually killed by a driver, you can write a letter to the mayor and city councilors using this form to talk about why safe streets are important to you #VisionZeroBostonbcu.bike/sscw
