Thank you! I shot it on Thanksgiving Day, 2021. It is a view of the Closed-spandrel arch bridge over Alewife Brook on Mystic Valley Parkway, looking up into the Alewife Brook. This is where Medford, Somerville, and Arlington meet.

It's a little trickier than accident rates though. If drivers make pedestrians feel unsafe, then some amount of pedestrians will stay home or choose to drive. This is a notoriously difficult effect to measure, but an important one

Banning turns on red is an important step to making pedestrians the top priority for streets instead of cars.

An end to sewage pollution? Flooding reduction and mitigation? An end to the MWRA’s sewage smell? A Trash-Free Alewife Brook? New native plants and pollinator gardens? A brook that is boatable? A community canoe launch? River restoration? Clean water that supports wildlife habitat? Restoring the Alewives to a Healthy Alewife Brook? Something else?
