Both sides of Seekonk River from Pawtucket to Providence and East Providence seem poised for future development. Pawtucket has the Tidewater Stadium under construction. Ground was broken on East Point in EP back in 2022 for a 300+ unit residential development (might be momentarily stalled)...

One of those Brown live cams also shows the progress of the RI State Lab project diagonally across the street. This corner will soon be a lot different with two 7 or more floor structures full of activity and workers.

Visible site work has finally started on this project. https://pbn.com/jewelry-district-buildings-demolished-ahead-of-brown-integrated-life-sciences-project/

I believe this area is hoped to one day be part of the Blackstone River Bikeway. There is a short off road bike section that now runs along the river from India Point Park and the East Bay Bike Path to Pittman Street a block south of this proposed development. North of here along the river...

It was my earlier post about counting just three cars in the S Attleboro lot on Friday, June 14th at 9am. It would appear that few are using it. Its reduced schedule and fees to park probably are a factor in this. To my knowledge, the Pawtucket station is still yet to charge for parking...

A new restaurant is opening up in the former Smokestack Barbecue location further indicating that the housing project for this site is dead for the forseeable future. https://www.telegram.com/story/business/2024/06/20/smokestack-bbq-worcester-lamei-hot-pot/74157847007/

I am old enough to have eaten here back when it was a restaurant before becoming a dance studio: Phote courtesy of Shawmut from previous post.

The last of the steel for the seating structure was put into place today at a topping off ceremony.

Went by the S Attleboro station today on a Friday at about 9am. I counted just three cars in the commuter lot. The reopened station with a reduced schedule does not appear to be getting many riders.

It is looking good. They were taking down a massive tent on Sunday that was used for some part of the RISD graduation. The Guild is back with its beer garden every weekend and there were multiple food trucks. This was the first of the Sundays Providence Flea. Will be even better once the...

A view of Providence Flea in its new location in District Park on the west side of the river (it had previously been on the east bank).

This project would be on Riverfront Drive. I would think it may be the two undeveloped parcels (estending to Olive St) to the east of Riverfront and west of the MBTA station parking.

I would rather it be built on an already empty lot such as the one directly across the street (where the round design gas station once was).

This Parcel 14/15 building looks like it will be 99% residential with a single small first floor retail space. The residential portion is almost exclusively a near equal mix of studio and one bedroom apartments. What are the target demographics for potential residents? It would seem it is...
