Each year, tens of thousands of cyclists use the Charles River Bike Path. The State of Massachusetts needs to do a far better job of managing disruptions to this key artery for both commuters and recreational users during construction. @MassGovernor @MassGov @CambMA

A section of the Memorial Drive bike lane was shut down last week. This is one of the most popular and heavily used bike routes in the Greater Boston area, connecting Harvard University, MIT, and downtown Boston along the Charles River in Cambridge.

During construction, intended to make biking safer, bicyclists and pedestrians are asked to detour across the busy 4-lane Memorial Drive twice, creating hazardous conditions.

Few people actually use this detour as it is impractical and dangerous, preferring instead to walk or bike in the busy Memorial Drive car lane adjacent to the construction. Today I witnessed dozens of people forced to bike in traffic, including a mother with a young child.

Design and construction are managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. If bike lane construction continues towards Harvard, @MassDCR must find ways to maintain the flow of bicycles and pedestrians along the path … just as they would with cars

We crowdsourced purchase histories from thousands of Amazon.com users to publish a first-of-its-kind open dataset. We embedded an experiment in the data collection process - this #CSCW2024 paper and blogpost summarize the experiment results: link.medium.com/qApTKz9UmNb

We welcomed the leadership of NUR, our newest Network member, to MIT City Science last week. We will collaborate with Merav Battat (Director) and Yonatan Cohen (CTO) on several projects in the City of Be'er Sheva focused on “Desert Tech.”

Today, Seymour Papert would have been 96 years old (or would it be 24 leap years?). His ideas continue to influence and inspire me.
