On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, the Boston City Committee on Transportation held a hearing on the City’s paused transportation projects since last year.
While the administration presented state-of-good-repair updates on a few streets and roadways, advocates asked for more detailed updates on projects, and demanded city officials take action to advance several street projects that have been paused along key transit corridors as noted by the Boston Globe.
To learn more about the paused projects visit Press Play on Transportation where we have a tracker on all 16 paused projects. Streetsblogmass also does a great job in looking at Mayor Wu’s budget proposal and the elimination of dozens of capital projects from the city’s five-year capital plan.
Watch the recap from the Boston Cyclist Union on how our city deserves better and how safe streets can’t wait.
Thank you to Council President Liz Breadon and Councilor Enrique Pepen who showed leadership and solidarity. We also heard from advocate voices and joined by residents and organizations like MassBike, Shared Spaces, Alternatives for Community and Environment, New England Community Project, LivableStreets Alliance, Boston Cyclist Union, Conservation Law Foundation, GreenRoots, Bikes Not Bombs, TransitMatters, CultureHouse and more.
