A computer animation shows a flashing pedestrian symbol next to an aerial view of a city street where a large dump truck is about to turn onto a side street where a pedestrian is crossing the crowwalk. A note above the crosswalk reads "pedestrian detected." A green triangle surrounding the truck indicates areas where cameras are detecting bikes and pedestrians in the truck's blind spots.

A map of the Boston region highlighting proposed high-frequency bus routes in the MBTA's bus network redesign. Highlighted route segments in green indicate existing bus lanes (including Silver Line's Washington Street through the South End in Boston, Huntington Ave, the Columbus Avenue bus lanes in Roxbury, and segments of Massachusetts Ave. across the Charles River and in Arlington). Pink segments indicate bus priority corridors being planned, including Blue Hill Ave. and Warren Street for the route 28, and Western Avenue in Allston. Yellow highlighted segments indicate "new bus priority needed," on streets like Meridian St. in East Boston and Arsenal St. in Watertown.
