2. This is exactly what Boston needs.

The downtown Boston road map is not meant for 1st time drivers nor people who live in no-stop light towns.

Think 6 way sensory signal overload and you get it. Limit auto's in Boston would revolutionize the city and lead the nation into the 21st century. It's c;imate change and common sense.

The untold story in this great video....riding a bike makes you live longer.

3. Weren't the streets in Boston originally designed for moving cows around?

Maybe I heard that wrong.

5. Probably!.....cows to market. Pigs, sheep, too!

But then Boston urbanized and took over the streets of downtown Boston. Mid-1700's?

4. "riding a bike makes you live longer"

It also increases human social interaction which is sorely needed today.

7. I admit I hate cars

Where I live everything revolves around cars. It's scary to cross the road and there isn't much room on the highways to walk. Car apartheid is real.

8. As long as access and transport for disabled people is considered.

Also, I don’t wanna ride a bicycle everywhere, especially when it’s very hot or very cold, thanks.
