Nice piece on creating more spaces for people to come together post-Covid.

Creating a new future for cities should be what we strive for Post-Covid.
I can honestly say I’ve never seen an article like this before. The visuals are remarkable & show what on-line articles can/have become. And the conversation is challenging, & needs more diverse voices. Thanks for including me with @VishaanNYCA, @fmanjoo. https://t.co/kErxGWhfOR

Thanks Chris. The Parkman Dr road closure has been great for pedestrians and cyclists. @MassDCR why do this?
At a time when the @MassGovernor says he supports cities and towns opening streets to people to allow for social distancing and recreation, why is his @MassDCR doing the opposite? What's the rush here? #mapoli #bospoli
