From Bold to Backtracking
“We're working to transform our streets, so all road users are protected.”
— Mayor Michelle Wu, City of Boston, September 2022
“I just don't want us to have it as an on or off switch of either we go to something that feels safe for pedestrians but then almost disastrous for many of the drivers who are coming in from further away.”
— Mayor Michelle Wu, Ask the Mayor, Boston Public Radio, November 18, 2025
“Everyone's interests have to be balanced...we have to find ways to balance everything and it's complicated.”
— Mayor Michelle Wu, Java with Jimmy, November 20, 2025
Mayor Wu took office promising the bold street safety reforms Boston desperately needed. In 2025, those promises crumbled. Political fears replaced action. Regional traffic priorities overrode local safety. The administration even weaponized equity language to justify inaction—while communities of color continue facing the highest pedestrian injury rates. What we got instead: another year of studies while our kids dodge traffic.
Enough Delays.
Enough Excuses.
