MIT protesters blocking the street but keeping the bike lanes clear, with marshals keeping people safe, while Cambridge police parks in the bike lanes. One of those groups is really working on getting my sympathy and support.
With 252 people speaking over 5.5 hours in favor of bike lanes and 10 opposed, the council voted to save probably net fewer parking spaces than people willing to come to a council meeting, good job you 5...

@bikepedantic@DemonHusky I’d say pretty much best case for ABC, and not worst case for CBS. (5 semi endorsed candidates, 1 who will probably not be vocal in public opposition). I’d give 10:1 odds on no major rollback of the CSO during the next council term.
Cambridge Bike Safety is preparing for a major election this November and has a matching funds fundraiser that you should contribute to.
There are 2 councilor candidates running for 3 open seats that have sued the city to remove all bike lanes. We need all the help we can get to defend the Cycling Safety Ordinance and ensure Cambridge stays best in country at building a protected bike network.
