Thank you so much! 👌

Thank you!!

Many false stories get pushed together and stations don't check, leading to stories becoming law by ignorance. So you need to find the actual law and here it is. Page 56 has your answer, and this should be carried around if your windows are tinted to be handed to those who feel they have a say about your window tint.

Yes, two days in a row this past summer I saw a pair of mink at India Point Park -- it was at the height of when millions of tiny fish were there.

The great The Scurvy Dog

I'm pretty sure beavers were always at it on the back side of Carbuncle Pond and the Moosup River out Route 14 in western Coventry near the Connecticut border, and that's why the road in got flooded decades ago and the original parking lot is inaccessible. I'm not sure how much of the land around Carbuncle is public, but I think more is now than when I was a boy and it butts right up against the Trestle Trail. I always liked hiking and riding out there.

You mean the Industrial National Bank building. It has nothing to do with Superman.

It's a great picture, though!

I agree, I'm skeptical that this relatively small amount of money will make much of a difference, and the goals described by Reed's office seem awfully lofty for "just" $27m. I look forward to additional info (and, ya know, actual progress).

This line:

> The city intends to use this funding to “advance engineering and systemic construction” of the Urban Trail Network in Providence.

Makes me think that this might be more about creating blueprints for the infrastructure more than actually building it. Like, coming up with the detailed engineering drawings for what a bike and pedestrian friendly section of urban residential street should look like, so the next time a street is being redone that uniform template can be applied. Then car/bike/pedestrian interaction will be predictable throughout the city, and therefore safer and more accessible. Much better than the mish mash of where a bike lane goes in relation to street parking, whether it's differentiated by paint or reflectors or curbing or just shared with cars, how car turn lane crossovers are handled, etc. Defining the Providence Way of handling those things seems like a good place to start.

But ultimately I don't know anything and can only hope this will be managed with some semblance of intelligence.

Beautiful! Such a great shot!

Ooo where in Middletown?

Ahh that’s sad to hear, I haven’t been in years but I remember when I first walked in i was so impressed I swore they could’ve charged admission

Providence is one of the more car-centric cities in New England, the downtown is littered with poor land uses such as surface-level parking lots and stroads. That being said, there must be a better path for implementing pedestrian infrastructure. From what it looks like, the urban trail plan is very vague and non-committal; it will likely result in a loop of needless bureaucracy and dreaded "feasibility studies". It will take a lot more than painted bike shoulders to make the city a better environment for pedestrians

I find that so weird since we don’t have a ton of absentee landlords in Massachusetts. But hey, it’s a learning experience at least 🫠

Unfortunately these kinds of experiences are way too common around here. Absentee landlords are very prevalent, especially in Providence.

Very cool

I’m at the top floor of the Arcade parking garage, really great angle of both these buildings 👌

Part of the bike parth in SK near the west Kingston train station has had them in the past. I remember parks and Rec having to destroy it.

America’s most liveable and beautiful small city 🥰

This is really dope man. I've never seen this from this perspective. Are you in a building?

Otters 🥰🥰

Yes it is; would be borderline impossible for only the head principal to handle all evaluations for a school.
