Looking back at the prior presentations, they did show a "signal" but no details or callouts on the type. I think most people assumed it would be a regular signal. There was no opportunity to provide comment/ask to discuss the reasons why they selected it. Nor were they challenged on how they've...

Somerville has only had a bike plan for maybe 2 years now? Cambridge's came out in 2015. Kirkland St is identified as a transit corridor, with biking routes using other, lower volume streets. You're right that it's a clear shot between Harvard and Union, but that's also what makes it critical...

Melrose is also rebuilding 3 fire stations and the police station, with a new public safety/police building to replace the vacant Beebe School and Engine 2 on Tremont St being the first fire station to be rebuilt. https://themelrosemessenger.org/articles/2025/08/safety.html Fire Station (206...

This one is now under construction. Not sure which is the current rendering, but the below was in the article. https://themelrosemessenger.org/articles/2025/05/wyoming.html

I didn't realize this was a new build in the yard of a subdivided lot. Great proportions and style. Uncommon to see that these days.

While I certainly think a Market Basket would be much more of a direct community benefit than the bus yard, I find it laughable that they think a supermarket would somehow have less traffic and impacts to the neighborhood. Market Basket would bring a tonnnn of vehicle trips here, the bus yard...

For me, this still continues to be something zero neighbors talk about with strong opinions and something I only hear is "controversial" from the media.

In this specific case, I'd say the new building is their prerogative. They own the ballpark and they're proposing the new building. Would be different if some other party was trying make the change. The entire existence and experience of the park is within the their control. Many aspects could...

Is that a normal thing to do?

Personally I think raised, sidewalk-level crossings are a better option. Even if they don't build them with the proper deflection for traffic calming, not have a ramp down addresses much of this issue.

What is the elusive 84 Ellery proposal that apparently everyone was also up in arms about (and is dead?), yet seemingly no information exists online?

I think your tone is interesting after learning about this project, and lends to the question "what is the level of outreach required"? It seems like you feel that you deserve to have known about this project from the getgo and are frustrated that you cannot find more information about it, even...

True. And for example, I commute with my personal bike to/from Dorchester, and it's typically only on weekends and for errands that I opt for the bluebike due to the flexibility and not having to worry about bringing a lock.

I also find that they sometimes upload the same PDF to multiple projects. Also, some projects get their community comments PDF spreadsheets posted, while others don't.

If you have this experience, I highly recommend reaching out to the project team so that they can include that in their review.
