Do you oppose cuts to benefits and would you support a strike by the employees? Would you be willing to take the T back into public ownership as a not-for-profit service to be managed by the city, the union and the community?presentprojecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501251579014157097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38897564.post-57891865051611778072007-08-12T23:56:00.000-04:002007-08-12T23:56:00.000-04:00A bicyclist was killed earlier this year on Cambri...A bicyclist was killed earlier this year on Cambridge St in Allston, a notoriously unfriendly and dangerous road for bicyclists. I have heard numerous A-B residents ask the city to make roads across the city more bike-friendly, mainly through the addition of on-road bike lanes and also by calming and slowing traffic, increasing safety for bicyclists (and pedestrians). However, few, if any improvements have been made. In addition, residents have been asking for more bike racks, especially in commercial districts, which are also still lacking. Neighboring cities continue to make significant strides for improving conditions for bicycling, while Boston continues to fall further behind. As city councilor, will you make it a priority to make bicycling safer and more convenient in Boston? If so, what specifically will you do?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954191259729911332noreply@blogger.com
