Reply to comment by IntelligentCicada363 in Car slams into another Roslindale building; two pedestrians hit, one dies by me5vvKOa84_bDkYuV2E1

...are you saying you want to ban cars? In Roslindale? Out of curiosity, what would be your preferred method for my getting to say arboretum and stopping at pleasant cafe on the way home?

Forest Hills station is at the Arboretum. It's a 10 minute bus ride on the 34 or 40 bus from Forest Hills to Washington St @ Walworth St, which is directly in front of Pleasant Cafe. That, or walking, would be my preferred method of making that trip. Maybe a Blue Bike if the stations are close.

So, several hours added to the trip at a minimum. In winter. Doesn't seem very realistic.

I don’t see how you’re getting several hours out of a 10 minute bus ride unless your car travels backwards in time, but more power to you I suppose

This seems like a troll comment, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and a serious reply. There is a lot of middle ground between the status quo and a full car ban. In other words, actually pursue Vision Zero, as has been successfully done elsewhere in the world.

In what possible way?

Odd, what I replied to didn't seem to have any middle ground -- they took a car smashing into a building and instead tried to make it about bicycles lol
