Natural History Museum is free to MA residents on Sunday mornings

Worth noting the students don't go to school on the wall. They use the school. And the school is rather nice inside. Also, the wall will retain a sizable ballfield where before there was a parking lot and giant furnace. So... better?

Major update: They painted the lane divide on a short concrete section of the School-to-Sycamore section. Punch that punch list!

At least for me, a more useful real-time update would be "Are the closed community path sections breachable?" It is now getting to roughly 75% of the time you hit up one of the segments between Lowell St and School St and the fences have been pushed aside. But you're never sure if the fencing on...

I just want to mock myself for this previous post by noting that I am about to take the GLX to Lechmere where I plan to visit this REI and buy some running shoes. That's synergy right there.

This is a very dumb conversation.

Love the whole "Won't someone please think of the children?!!?" pearl-clutching about speed restrictions. Not everything requires a law or a rule. I have great confidence in the fact that a stretch of pavement with people on it will result in some bumps and bruises, but much more often just...

Every time I pass the westbound path segments between Gilman and Davis on a weekend they have been opened by my good Somerville neighbors with a few people happily strolling. It is then closed by the villainous government overlords early during the work week. At the risk of whipping up the...

Gilman is my neighborhood and I've contributed to some of the city's visioning plans for the area. Unfortunately, I'd say all the extant material is past its expiration date. The neighborhood groups the city works with for input on development consider the 2014 plan as useless since it is built...

Just completed my first ride. Eleven minutes from Gilman Square to North Station.

I wouldn't be proud to live there.

Short answer: Nothing planned for the foreseeable future (next 5+ years). Longer answer: It is city owned and has been the preferred dumping ground for a cycling wish list of projects, including fire station, community center, large park, affordable housing. Numerous groups hired by or...

Kudos to them for sticking to the bit. Opening gets delayed roughly every three months since this February. December 2021 - original opening date. Pushed out in June 2021. May 2022 - second opening date. [Asked if the May 2022 goal for the remaining six stops are in question, Poftak replied...

Soap box alert: This is why we need reasonably respected, serious news media outlets like the Globe. When a citizen asks the question the answer is "You'll know when you know." When the Globe asks the same question, on the same day, the answer is "By the end of the week." And most certainly the...

Agreed. The date has changed but the text has not.

Only thing that gives me confidence is that any later than that and the Globe and Congressional offices will start calling for an explanation--forcing their hand to give an update.

My sense is the MBTA has until Friday November 4 to give an update--opening date or postponement. They announced the Union Square's March 21 opening date on February 24. That was on a Thursday, 26 days before it opened on a Monday. I'd expect the same general approach here. The station will open...

The trains may not run, but the moment the last hard hat vacates the area that community path will be opened by the community. If history is a guide, unopened bike path sections that look both completely finished and also abandoned by construction crews are quickly "opened by mob fiat."...

I hate getting my hopes up, but it does seem like they're running out of things to do. I feel like I could wrap this project up myself in a couple days with a modest toolbox and a few YouTube instructional videos

I loved opening my aB feed to this new thread. On theme but off subject--everyone should check out the new Beacon Hill Bookstore that is the current Instagram-crowd hotspot. The elevator ride in that building up to the children's section on the fourth floor was one of the most nerve-racking...
