Transportation Choices
For ten years, I was the Council’s Transportation Committee Chair and pressed for dozens of measures to make the city friendlier and safer for walkers and bikers.
- This year I pressed the State to make the soon-to-be-repaired BU Bridge safer and nicer for walking and biking. The Charles River roads and paths form a major thoroughfare for non-auto travelers.
- Working with city staff and residents, I contributed to Cambridge being recognized as the #1 Walking City in America, with better pedestrian safeguards, such as countdown lights and traffic enforcement, especially for stopping at crosswalks.
- I have supported and continue to support visionary bike activists who see a future that includes more bikers of all ages commuting, shopping, and getting around town.
- I was an early supporter and endorser of car sharing, especially Zipcar when it first started up in the city.
