Thank you Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 for spending the morning in #Brookline, meeting with constituents and merchants about parks & transportation (Bridle Path), the arts and nonprofits (Coolidge Corner Theatre), and about whatever is on people’s minds at #Tatte in JFK Crossing.

Let’s build this pathway rapidly and prioritize biking on Beacon St in Brookline! Pass the #INVESTAct for the full project and let’s get some municipal/state action to do something tactical in the interim

Thank you Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 Tommy Vitolo Chris Dempsey & Town of Brookline Select Board Chair Heather Hamilton for your Bluebikes /walk & talk on Beacon St this morning. Your combined leadership on Friends of the Beacon Street Bridle Path(way) is helping to move this project closer to reality #streetsforpeople

Had a great Saturday morning with Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 Tommy Vitolo Chris Dempsey & #brookline Select Board Chair Heather Hamilton biking/walking & talking about sustainable transportation & Friends of the Beacon Street Bridle Path(way). House did their part, now we need Ed Markey & Elizabeth Warren to bring it home.

Nice to meet you Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 Thanks for all your work on realizing the Bridle Path for Town of Brookline

Glad to see the House pass a surface transport reauthorization bill that prioritizes safety, access, efficiency, & sustainability, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure’ INVEST Act, today. Thrilled to see this include Friends of the Beacon Street Bridle Path(way) restoration, one of Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧’ designated projects therein.

Congressman Auchincloss’ advocacy could yield federal funding for restoration of Brookline’s Beacon Street Bridle Path. wickedlocal.com/story/brooklin…

Looking toward further community discussion about the Bridle Path, Tommy Vitolo & Jules Milner-Brage sat down last week to talk about what the path was & is & about ongoing efforts to restore it. Here’s an excerpt. Below’s the full 26-min. @BrkInteractive recording + some background.
