Bicyclist/pedestrian deaths are preventable & it's past time that Brookline take action. Instead, the TBoard will spend part of this week's meeting discussing creation of a "car user advisory committee" because a vocal minority says that motorists are being "neglected" www.reddit.com/r/Brookline/...

The moderator's committee to study increasing our Select Board & School Committee stipends, formed as part of the resolution @jonathanjgolden.bsky.social & I sponsored in the spring Town Meeting, will have its first meeting Monday: brooklinema.portal.civicclerk.com/event/16508/...

Thank you to our Safe Routes to School taskforce members & friends and to especially the Brookline Police bike unit for your assistance with the Pierce bike bus this morning! We had about 20 kids and a dozen adults join a ride from the library to Pierce @ OLS and everyone had a great time! 🚲

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ The Town of Brookline - including our public schools and libraries - formally recognizes June as “LGBTQIA+ Pride Month” thanks to last fall’s WA 25 resolution. The library has some great Pride month programming planned: www.brooklinelibrary.org/2026/05/20/c...

#BrooklineTownMeeting night 3 (and last?) is underway! Yesterday I was so excited about presenting the article I led that I forgot to post - but happy to share that WA 23, a resolution to increase Select Board stipends and create School Committee stipends, passed (and a referral motion failed).

#BrooklineTownMeeting has begun! First up - “seedling” Select Board member Anthony Buono is giving remarks on Article 1, appointment of measurers of wood and bark. Lots of tree puns! 🌳

#BrooklineTownMeeting begins tonight! Here's my guide to all the articles up for discussion, including voting recommendations from various town boards and political groups, as well as my own recommendations: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Thanks @brooklinenews.bsky.social for highlighting some of the excellent programming work by our library staff! The library is for everyone - all ages, all backgrounds - and on hot days like today it’s a great place to cool down 😎 brookline.news/millennial-b...

Walk, bike & roll to school day is this Wednesday! 🚴🚶‍♀️👩‍🦽🏃‍♂️

Proud to sign the Rainbow ally statement (drive.google.com/file/d/1xiIY...) in solidarity with my 🌈 LGBTQ+ TMM colleagues and community members - especially PSB students and educators. LGBTQ+ rights -- including trans rights -- are human rights. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ brookline.news/school-commi...

Honored to have been endorsed by Progressive Brookline, the new local chapter of @progressivemass.bsky.social, for re-election as a Library Trustee & P6 Town Meeting Member! Election day is May 5, please come support the Progressive Brookline-endorsed candidates & @yesforbrookline.bsky.social!

Most of Brookline’s library funding comes from the town, but we still use state resources like database access that are supported by federal funding. Cutting IMLS funding will most negatively impact rural communities & smaller systems who rely on this funding to provide basic library services 😢

The Board of Library Trustees just voted unanimously to support the override and encourages everyone to vote yes! If the override fails the library could lose funding for a part-time library assistant. Vote yes and support your library, schools, and other town services.

Meanwhile, Cambridge built new bike lanes that increased cycling & got bikes off the sidewalks (benefits pedestrians too!): mass.streetsblog.org/2026/03/10/c...

City of Cambridge Reports Better Bike Lanes Led to Surge In Bike Traffic - Streetsblog MassachusettsThe city has recorded a 250 percent increase in bike traffic since 2004.mass.streetsblog.org

Hugely disappointed in the Transportation Board for cowing to opposition from some neighborhood residents & postponing pedestrian and cyclist safety improvements for all. Our "process" blocks progress on housing affordability, sustainability, new growth to support school funding, safety, & more 👎

Did you know you can access the @bostonglobe.com from home for free with your Brookline library card? So excited for this new partnership between the Globe and the Minuteman Library Network (of which Brookline is a member): www.bostonglobemedia.com/globe-partne...

Using a sticker rather than a transponder makes it harder (impossible?) to bring your E-Z Pass with you in a rental car, meaning you’ll incur rental car company fees 👎 It is deeply frustrating that this cashless system penalizes folks who don’t own a car & can’t get an E-Z pass for occasional use

All Brookline library locations will remain closed tomorrow, Tuesday Feb. 24 ⛄️ but you can still access some electronic resources like ebooks, audiobooks, and movies from your home: www.brooklinelibrary.org/elibrary/all/
