Ah, had sounded to me like you were arguing against rent control. Def need a regulatory env that promotes housing construction.

Did you really come here to say the "supply and demand market is working just fine?" C'mon bud. If that were true we'd be building housing like CRAZY to meet the demand.

Love it. Needs curbs (or at least zebras) in bufferzone if we expect any semblance of driver compliance!

Been waiting years for these, esp Central @ Somerville. Very excited!

Sidewalk level

Thanks!

Hi Ben! I'm doing the survey and there are some odd questions and answer options. How could short wait times until the next pedestrian phase at a signal make someone feel unsafe? Wouldn't that be a good thing? Also, Church Street @ Somerville Ave doesn't have a signal...

I was in Provincetown this week and they have port-a-loos just like the ones at Cambridge Crossing. Can't comprehend why Somerville is incapable of installing them.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I just checked the project drawings and they do show a dedicated NW-bound cycletrack on Summer Street between Putnam and School streets: voice.somervillema.gov/5035/widgets... (pages 15 & 16)

The city is so desperate, but hasn't bothered to put a job posting on their jobs website? How does one apply?

Far from convincing:
- "Mass. Ave. flexposts 'were removed in response to feedback from community members."
- "We also need to recognize that ... our streets are only so big"
- "I truly believe that there’s a way to balance the needs of delivery trucks"
Sounds like what makes them safe IS going away

If those are your goals, keep and enhance the protected bike network.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Thanks for trying to keep people informed! The saner among us appreciate it.
