You can pick your store for delivery, put in the Cranston or Johnston locations and the fresh food will be available.

Yes! It will be very useful. I've watched the development over the past few months. It feels as if it was built overnight lmao. As a person who can't drive, (I get rides from family members) the train station is a very good thing. Also I expect the traffic near the station to be quite chaotic, if all the other train stations I've been to are anything to go by.

I drive by there often and have watched the building development. I think I've seen bike parking.

There's plenty of parking around the station. I've been living at he nearby lofts and there's an abundance of parking in the area. It's exciting to see what and how the station will run.

That’s not possible. Even more than 5 people live in those 40+ units upstairs.

Train station not airport lots.

I believe there will be a bike rack

Is there anywhere to park and lock bikes?

Yeah, for comparison Attleboro has ~700

Where? Cheapest I ever find is $12. Give me your secret parking spot please!

Parking at Providence is ridiculous. TF Green is 5 bucks for the day.

200 is "Only?"

wouldnt matter unless they were pulling over 750k anyways lol

Some free is better than no free.

200 spaces? I’d be surprised if they’re not full by 7 - 7:30.

For now.

I‘m having the same issue! I found that setting the date to last week on the same day of the week would give you the route. It only works on Google maps though

Well noted. Thanks for all the info bud, I appreciate it!

They backed off the license change.

I know, I'm hoping we're getting in under the wire.

It's one thing if we had no say but the public utilities commission could literally have said no! That's part of the deal for running a statewide monopoly!

Yep it should all be in the minutes. But then why would we approve it? Our service has not improved, efficiencies have not improved, there was no benefit for the end user except a rate hike so two companies could trade the state like a pokemon card. We could have just said no! Literally no reason to approve it. We get a rate hike (which they also approved!) and nothing else!

It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense since rates are regulated. Also, “raise margins to pay off acquisition costs” is pretty standard business practice, you don’t buy a business if it’s not accretive to profits. I’m not an expert on public records but I assume this would have been captured in the hearing minutes?

In the hearing the AG (or the public utilities commission i can't remember which one) asked how they (PPL) were planning on financing the cost of the acquisition and they said very bluntly they planned on paying for it by recouping that cost from ratepayers.

No new sources of income or anything, just raise margin on customers and use that profit to pay off the purchase.

So even absent the increase in raw gas and electric costs we were going to get a 40% increase (IIRC) in their off-the-top add on charges just for the luxury of a name change basically
