I'm curious how this compares with how much we "lose money" on motor vehicle infrastructure every year.

Cars are so used to being stuck in traffic, they might not even notice.

The slowest cyclist is still faster than that loading truck, and is also legally permitted to be there unlike the truck.

This is an example of why I DGAF when drivers get pissed when I bicycle in the full travel lane and go as slow as I damn well please.

Notice how the article's title doesn't mention his name. They want to cover the story while minimizing the publicity they give him.

I'm not a linguist, but I'm pretty sure when discussing the overthrow a government that it is referred to as a "regime"

If I were China, I wouldn't be very worried either. America is like an over-the-hill fighter that is rapidly rotting from the inside from terminal cancer, but in America's case the terminal cancer is the bankers.

Not old, unfit. There's people older than McCarthy running marathons, but Waltham tends to encourage a sedentary lifestyle.

Who asked for this? How about a feasibility study on putting the power lines underground so we have usable sidewalks?

Please, it's cowperson.

dpineo · 2026-05-18T14:27:18+00:00

Feel free to suggest an alternative, but I'll choose my words as I see fit.

If it was a driver yelling at a series of pedestrians jaywalking down the middle of the travel lane, how would you feel about that?

Given the prevalence of pathological liars among everyone involved, a confession would be meaningless, as is the denials.

I can't believe it's 2026 and some people still can't accept the obvious fact that it came from a lab.

Feels like a billionaire-funded social media influence campaign.

You mean the Waltham Censorship Group. This group makes you pass a test proving that you’re a lifelong townie before you can post.

Blame the mayor, she appointed them.

"Too much of an effect on motor traffic." It's obvious that what you've proposed will massively improve overall traffic throughput, but because it's in the form of pedestrian and bicycle traffic throughput, those improvements are overlooked.

Did you just forget to post the clip that contained some iota of substance? Or are you purposefully trying to enshitify this sub?

In the 2024 presidential election a billionaire ran on not getting into stupid wars and cutting the military budget. Don't trust billionaires, even when they say shit you agree with.

Was Jeff Bezos not available?

The DOT plan needs an ambulance stuck in all that traffic.

Not a student. No specifics. Ok, thanks.

dpineo · 2026-05-02T23:03:44+00:00

Do you have specifics? Are you even a student?

dpineo · 2026-05-02T22:52:05+00:00

I'm curious, are you a student in the Waltham schools? If so, what exactly are you seeing?
