Mayor Wu’s decision to remove a dedicated bus lane on Boylston Street shows she can indeed listen and change views – particularly when a rival candidate makes an issue of hideous-looking bus-bike lanes in general.  … Considering she didn’t listen to critics prior to the Boylston Street bus-lane flap, I found this comment from Wu interesting, as reported by the Globe: “We have heard from community members that this needs to be changed.” … I addressed her political stubbornness in a post last week (‘Mayor Wu’s Achilles’ heel: Her ideological certainty’). … Also recall Brian McGrory’s blistering Globe column last summer on the plug-ugly Boylston Street bike lane, which Wu now apparently wants to modify along with other bike lanes around the city, as the Herald reports.

Re McGrory’s column, the mind hippity hops to: ‘Sign, sign, everywhere a sign.’
