🚲I can also share that, to help with a safe reopening, @RideBluebikes is offering free 90-day passes to all workers in grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and local retail shops. https://t.co/tjeLC7Wzbv — PolitiTweet.org

This week, we completed the bus-only lane on Washington Street through Chinatown into Downtown, and added a separated bike lane for part of the route. https://t.co/RPufN1MFJm — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We took the opportunity this spring to create a #HealthyStreets initiative, to accelerate our work on new bus and bike lanes and improved pedestrian space. https://t.co/7ytYDz8Qam — PolitiTweet.org

Transportation is a major issue for access to jobs, for quality of life, and for environmental justice. @BostonBTD — PolitiTweet.org

Second chances are at the core of what we believe in this administration. Everyone who is doing the right thing deserves a job and a path to financial security, and that’s especially true during a crisis like this. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We have a new program called Project Opportunity in partnership with our Office of Public Safety. It’s a set of legal supports, job training, and job access opportunities to help residents with CORI reports. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are closely monitoring the economic situation here in Boston. In addition to our relief funds, we are drawing on the resources and expertise of our @EconDevBoston to help those who are out of work due to #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I also urge Washington to look at what Americans are facing this summer and fall—with unemployment, lost income, and lost business revenue—and take bold action. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I want to thank the @MassGovernor for adding to the state’s rental relief fund as well, and I continue to support an extension of the statewide moratorium on evictions. https://t.co/BG62GzuhIB — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are also going to keep making our $8 million rental relief fund available, for those without access to benefits. https://t.co/rp2vLXXNbK — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I want to thank the @WinnCompanies for also extending their moratorium through 2020, for folks who have lost income due to the pandemic.https://t.co/kBpq02o5QM — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are extending the moratorium on non-essential evictions at @BHA_Boston properties through the end of 2020. Taking this step protects tens of thousands of the lowest-income residents all across the city. https://t.co/Z5EEgXFBnh — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In #Phase3 we will also continue to support residents and small businesses who are suffering economically from this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

This pandemic has made clear that an inclusive, equitable plan means a stronger and safer system. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I want to again urge all employers to communicate clearly with workers, both in planning and execution. Use translation services for language access and comply with all ADA regulations. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

To answer questions, we’re continuing our webinar series for various industries. You can find all these resources and more by visiting https://t.co/WvlOZVh4Pv. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

For #Phase3, we have new sector guidelines available for indoor fitness and health clubs, outdoor events, museums, cultural & historic facilities, and guided tours. These are detailed operational guidelines that build on the state requirements. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

A healthy and equitable reopening also depends on the actions taken by private sector organizations, so we’re going to continue providing resources to help workplaces manage their risk and move forward safely. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

All of these programs will be operated in accordance with public health guidelines. You can learn more at https://t.co/X9syFfQ7Tg. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Teen programming started this week on a virtual basis, and online registration will be open soon for day programs, both virtual and in-person, for children seven and older. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I also have an update from the @BCYFCenters on summer programming at our community centers. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

As of Monday, BPL to Go will be available at 16 branches across the city, with more to come soon. https://t.co/4bO9LcAJVM — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In Phase 3, we are not opening our physical libraries yet, out of an abundance of caution, but we will continue online borrowing as well as our new BPL to Go program. https://t.co/izMa44DwEt — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

The @BPLBoston system is another foundation in our city's quality of life, and we’ve been committed to making library services available in one form or another during the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

For outdoor events, we are limiting attendance to 50 people. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

On Monday, permitting starts back up for low- and moderate-contact sports and other events. High contact sports like basketball, football, and lacrosse are not permitted until Step 2 of Phase 3, but skills practice in those sports is allowed. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We have had success with online meetings and will continue that way for the time being. A great example is our community planning on the future of Franklin Park. We are investing $28 million to preserve and improve the park. https://t.co/eS54aTLlKx — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Despite state guidelines allowing larger gatherings, we will not be hosting public or private meetings in City Hall or other city buildings. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

All of this work is going to allow us to enter #Phase3 with both caution and confidence. We took an extra week to take this step, due to our unique concerns in #Boston. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I also want to be clear that we have a robust contact tracing operation in @HealthyBoston. We are reaching out in multiple languages with information on testing and self-quarantine. It’s a good example of where leading with equity makes a whole system stronger. — PolitiTweet.org
