On Friday morning, Mayor Wu issued a detailed 6-page letter to residents in which she outlined her administration’s plan to improve the safety of the city’s streets, and address mounting criticism of her administration’s streets cabinet.

Councilors also passed a hearing order to discuss a possible new bike network plan, and a resolution that urges “in the strongest terms that the (Wu) administration strengthen its approach to Vision Zero.”

A new state funding bill for statewide road maintenance projects will include a new $200 million fund for trails and roadways under the control of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR).

An internal “30 day review” of city transportation projects that Mayor Wu requested during her re-election campaign last year was supposed to improve the public’s trust in the city’s ability to manage street safety and transit improvement projects.

For the past year and a half, StreetsblogMASS has been waiting for the City of Boston’s public records office to release city emails, calendar appointments, and other documents related to Mayor Wu’s election-year “review” of the city’s transportation projects and policies.
