Replace it?

You must be new here.

The square was renovated FOR the restaurants. Thats how the city operates. Restaurants pay city hall, city hall does things for them, everyone wins, except you. But you don't matter because either way they're in office and you can't do anything.

So sad. Remember when you could rent nearby for $350 a month?

I've been hit by several cars in this city and rarely ever reported anything because I either wasn't injured or the injury was small. Not gonna waste my time and potentially get more medical bills, fuck that. I also know plenty of people in this city where the same situations happen.

Edit: Downvotes just prove most redditors on here once again don't have any idea how dangerous or frequently vulnerable road users are hit or have close calls. Enjoy hiding behind your 2 ton metal cages!

Lmaoooo good luck RIPTA and co

All those rich fucks in the area and businesses will fight against this, and they'll likely get their way and nothing will change just like Hope st and all the other areas we try this shit

No one cares about you if you don't have a car.

Any more information on this? I'd like to know. This seems like a project for pvdstreets to get involved in.

It is the part of N. Main that curves around and goes uphill to the Whole Foods shopping center that makes me hesitate to bicycle from the train station to my house. That entire stretch leading up to Olney is dangerous for cyclists or people on scooters. A redesign would be huge.

Honestly one of the worst intersections for pedestrians in the entire city. N.Main needs a complete redesign.

I avoid that area even when driving, much less walking. I wish there was a reasonable way to enter Providence by bicycle from that direction.

Right now is the most probable scenario 😊

Woah!! That is so awful--I can't believe she tried to charge you 6k to move out of a severely damaged apartment. Sorry this happened to you, and I'm glad you had renter's insurance (also, a good reminder for me to sign up for that right now!)

You can get Lyft/Uber but that's about $100 AND NOT guaranteed. I've been stranded in Providence more than a couple of times. Could have been worse I got the chance to see lost of neighbors as I walked around for hours until the train started up 😆

nah I've been here a minute. This is just the worst intersection I cross semi regularly. You can't really see very far down that hill on north main so even if you start crossing with no cars someone going 50 will get to you before you get to the other side.

You are apparently new to the area. Don't ever expect right of way as a pedestrian. Drivers don't pay attention to crosswalks. You need to just wait until no cars are around to cross the street. And don't worry about jaywalking here. Cross the street anywhere you want.

What? People are hit by cars and killed and they go unnoticed or not reported?

Most likely there are a lot of underreported accidents where a pedestrian is struck or killed by a speeding, negligent driver.

I rented this apartment right after you. Yup, she said it was cigarettes that burned down the back hallway LMAO. Crazy I'm learning what really happened on Reddit.

Wow, those are truly the craziest lease provisions I've ever heard of!! And I bet she didn't show you the lease until after the 24-hour window had closed for you to withdraw your application--so that she could keep your money.

Rhode Island Legal Services says here that if you were to pursue this in small claims court (which you don't need a lawyer for) you can ask for up to twice the amount of your deposit in damages, in addition to the deposit itself. It only costs $75 to file a claim, so depending on how much time/effort you feel like putting into something like this, it could end up being pretty worthwhile. I personally am planning on filing a claim against her.

You're lucky

Came here to say this. I was in this same house on a different floor. I had to get in contact with a lawyer to get out of the lease when there was snow blowing into our apartment after the fire. She tried to make us sign a document basically saying that we wouldn't go after her for damages and when I refused to sign it, she tried to charge us around $6000 dollars for moving out. The apartment was unlivable and we had to find other lodgings, which she should have paid for, according to the law. The thing that was my saving grace in this situation was having renter's insurance.

I would post on the Providence event page and I have seen people post on a Instagram post as well and get positive responses.

Thanks!

Oh...my god. That's horrible! I'm sorry you had to go through this nightmare situation. I'm so glad we didn't end up in a lease with her.

Fuck her up, dude. People like this need to see consequences for their actions.
