Writing a letter is harder- you have to pick out a card, you have to find a pen, and an envelope and a stamp- more importantly you have to have to figure out what to say.
i've written and re-written this post many times- I don't want to be preachy, but I feel so strongly about this, and I long to spur any of you from the Boston area into action.
So I'm going to just publish the letter I wrote to the Mass DOT administrator on the subject of the Longfellow bridge. I urge you to find the time to write your own. I feel strongly that option B (see here or here for explanations is the best long term. It gives us the most options and avoids a lousy "pinch point" situation for pedestrians at the Boston side.
I know it's a busy time of year, but please, consider taking the 15 minutes to write:
Luisa Paiewonsky
Administrator, MassDOT Highway Division
Ten Park Plaza, Suite 3170
Boston, MA 02116
To "sweeten" the deal, if you're in Boston: send me photos of your stamped addressed letter, and contact me offline at Bikinginheels@yahoo.com, and I'll throw in a prize. It will involve chocolate. Never say I'm above a little bribery in the service of a good cause.

we could be accused of corruption if this post is discovered : )
ReplyDeleteI will try to write a letter
I have written my letter! I even have extra stamps on hand from all my Christmas cards.
ReplyDeleteI can affirm that any "real" letter certainly catches my eye. Even a hand-lettered envelope stands out.
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring! Thanks for the little push. Hmm, now to think of the most letter worthy cause.
