Rte 9 in Brookline Village now has dedicated bus lanes. Awesome! 60 65 & 66 bus riders deserve a faster ride b/c they’re reducing congestion, not exacerbating it.
‘Education’ doesn’t lead to motorist compliance. Ticketing does.

A wise person once said that you will experience climate change through a series of increasingly wild videos, until you are the one taking the video.

New York's old rainfall record stood for 150 years until 2021, and has now been broken three times.
Hot air holds more water vapor than cold; flooding follows fossil fuel combustion as night follows day.

Major flooding in Brooklyn today. Trains shut down and the only way out of the station is through this.

Not surprising given the climate events were are seeing. “Phasing out fossil fuel burning and ending destructive farming are the key actions required.”

"Storrowing" season calls for a reminder that Helen Storrow fought to prevent the construction of a highway on Boston's Esplanade, land she & her late husband James donated $1mil to preserve.
The construction of "Storrow Drive" was approved 1-year after her death.
