We’re taking Amtrak from San Francisco to Boston! We departed Emeryville this morning. Can’t wait for the views ahead.

We arrived in Denver, CO behind schedule, but not too late to grab ramen across the street from Union Station. We’ll be in Denver visiting family for two days, before hopping on the next leg of our journey to Chicago.

The conductor just announced we will have no service for 2 hrs as we travel through the Colorado Rockies. Or as he put it “Get ready to go back to 1995.” We’ve got a good screen free project to keep us busy.

The most dangerous section of our commute home. A clear bike path means avoiding this fast road and dangerous left turn. When I was in W. Concord today, I spoke to another regular bike commuter who chose to drive because she feels unsafe on this section of road. 🧵(3/9)

While we're on this subject, a shoutout to the hardworking @TownofConcord’s Public Works team! They did a great job on the roads and sidewalks after yesterday’s storm. Imagine if that care was extended to the Bruce Freeman—we just need the budget and permission to do it! 🧵(7/9)

The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail is important transportation infrastructure—not just for my family, but for our whole community! It connects to village centers, businesses, schools, and provides the only safe, grade-separated crossing of Rt. 2 for miles in either direction! 🧵(8/9)

It's a winter wonderland out there! Unfortunately, that means the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail is covered in snow. A thread explaining the impact of winter maintenance for those who cannot or choose not to drive. 🧵(1/9)

Leaving the library with my son after school. Our usual route home is blocked with snow, forcing us onto less safe roads. 🧵(2/9)
