    Manchester Infill & Small Developments

    Yeah, making the road narrower (even if it is done by adding parking) is a good move towards walkability, slower cars, easier to cross the st. I think though, in Manchester, any wider roads should be converted into a road with a bike lane. Haverhill just did this on 97 going into Groveland. Many...

    That parking lot, Hartnett, I think is a good parking lot, however the spot makes an even better location for shops or something else. But if the parking lot was build underground or above shops, I think that would be an even better move rather than just getting rid of it. Even one level below...

    Beanstalk is one, that place in Cat alley is up for lease. And Wings your Way. Yeah, the streets are upgraded on Manchester St. I thought it was dumpy last I knew, but was unsure of myself. But the long talk about the arts district there along that street I think has begun to take form. Some...

    Has Manchester St recently been updated with new street lights and sidewalks?

    Manchester Infill & Small Developments

    And southern end of Elm across from the Market is growing already. A few new businesses are in. And on a sad note, I have noticed A LOT of businesses and especially restaurants disappearing, but luckily new ones are taking their spots. But I don't think it is a good sign when many businesses...

    Londonderry Development - Woodmont Commons

    http://www.londonderrynh.net/tag/exit-4a Recently in the Unionleader onliune I read that the state got 2 billion in funding for the I-93 highway project, which includes Londonderry 4A exit creation. Which I think is what this Woodmont commons thing was relying on. A lot is available on their...

    Yeah, that's the foundation. I love exploring the world with the new close up Google satellite. That vacant land across from Elliot at Rivers Edge is where they had the talk about the drive-thru dunkin. Yes, at least as of the initial plan, they plan to connect gas street to the new Elliot...

    Missing BC Student: Franco Garcia's Body Found

    I mean, I have not been following the story much, but I wonder maybe he was drunk, got hurt and drowned, but like you said, I doubt foul play. I would expect more leads if there was foul play. I feel really bad for the family too.

    "This tunnel will be a bargain" -- Big Dig Bashin'

    Regarding the initial post to this thread, the light issue (you can see all the plastic ties in there, looks like a PITA to put those on.) But I am extremely glad to see LED lights as an option for replacement lights. I have also heard street lights and parking lights also using LED lighting...

    Manchester Infill & Small Developments

    I hear what you mean by if too much is addressed at once then it may get lost and focusing on area may be stronger. But Manchester still boasts a trashy appeal to many unfamiliar with it, and to change this, the rest of the city (the trashy parts) must undergo at least minor updates from time to...

    Manchester Infill & Small Developments

    Although a great idea, I see two problems, well not problems, but, things I would rather see happen that may be better. #1 Close Hanover 24/7 #2 Rather than closing a single street to create foot traffic, I think upgrading more of the downtown streets to be more like like Hanover would be much...

    Manchester Infill & Small Developments

    I would rather see completion of the riverwalk over any new park any day. I do think however that the parks could all be improved, some more than others. Bike racks being number one. And just overall maintenance. Yes, the southern end of the North End is very very nice as well, and does serve...

    The north end is nice, but it actually lacks sidewalks. It also needs more distinguished bus stops, and bike paths. I was driving in Nashua, they they have a sidewalk along Main St between the large chain stores and the downtown area. Past Riviere College. It is really looking nicer. Also...

    Google maps...? Personally, I think it is a nice area (my buddy lives there) but it is not easy to get to downtown without a car and I like walkability better (for exerciser and shear convenience...

    Not really a development, but Manch is getting single stream recycling, about time IMO. Salem NH voted against Curb Side pick-up... which I was for. Sale also voted against a million other things that I think should have passed. Continuing to upgrade our elementary schools for one thing.

    Martha's Vineyard vs Nantucket

    Never been to Nantucket for long, but Martha's Vinyard is very good for biking. I have stayed there for a week at a time multiple times. The buses run very late, and they are cheap and frequent. At points the biking gets a bit long between the towns, but not bad. There are paths everywhere...

    A car-free town in rural Maine?

    Very true. And yet people always seem to have some complaint about the town they CHOOSE to live in. But I see your point, seems valid.

    A car-free town in rural Maine?

    I am not against the concept, I am for it, just want to make that clear. BUT, I think many, and most people would question the ability to live without (being in the town) a car. Now I didn't realize that there would be parking outside, I thought that that transport area was for like trucks only...
