Commentary: A Reflection on the Election, and What Comes Next

A rendering of a wide street from a birds-eye perspective. The center of the street features a red dedicated busway, with two lanes (one in each direction) separated from adjacent traffic with landscaped medians and bus stop waiting area platforms. General motor vehicle traffic is confined to 1-2 lanes on either side of the busway. Along the sidewalks are green dedicated bike lanes, which are generally separated from the adjacent car lanes by gardens surrounded by curbs. A label in the upper left denotes the Mattapan Branch of the Boston Public Library, and another label denotes the intersecting street as Walk Hill St.

A wide five-lane street with a concrete median in the middle that's lined with tall street lamps. Either side of the broad street is lined with triple-decker apartment houses. Most of the picture is empty asphalt, but there are a few large trees scattered along the street's sidewalks in the distance.
