Love to see this kind of development right next to a CR stop.

I hope I'm not derailing this thread too much, but I was in Haverhill for the first time in years last week and the city looked lovely.

And the RTA, MEVA, has been doing a decent job of trying to improve its service! It went from only being offered 5 days a week to serve those working a more traditional 9-5 to something that's 7 days a week with a slightly longer service period. There's still a lot of opportunity for improvement, but the service has gotten a lot better.
