2009 At-Large City Council Debate on Parks and Open Spaces
HIGHLIGHTS
Overall, the at-large city council candidates showed us they understand a range of issues. The laugh of the night came with the audience question, "What does the Asian Long Horned Beetle mean to you? ?Stumped, Felix Arroyo answered, "Well if it has horns, it must not be good."
Great ideas we heard included:

Well, maybe not fun, exactly, but still a fact, at least when it comes to MBTA buses vs. bicycles.

Charlotte takes a Bixi bike out for a spin.

Sean Roche reports on and photographs the aftermath of a collision at Beacon Street and St. Thomas More Rd. around 6 tonight. He reports the bicylist was taken to Beth Israel with back pain; the front of the bike was busted.

Location

Nick Bonadies tweets a bicyclist was hit by a car this morning at Beacon and Marion streets, across from the 7-Eleven, possibly by a car that cut her off in an attempt to make a right turn.

That makes at least three bicyclists hit by cars in two weeks in a town that has been busy putting in bicycle lanes. No word on his condition, but cops and EMTs were on scene when Bonadies went by.
