Most people around hope street really love their foliage and gardens and like to take care of their yards - maybe the city is saying they don't want it but the residents... Now if the city neglected to upkeep their parts of the greenery... I would complain too.

Nice!
East side tunnel: Option 3B, Alternative A
West side tunnel: Option 2B.
These are the ones I went with. Trees == Happy

Not in Pvd, but the New Balance store at Garden City in Cranston is pretty good.

> bidirectional bus lanes for Washington
A diagram would be helpful, I’m trying to picture this part - do they mean that weird little bus-only turn lane that’s already there or do they mean a dedicated lane all the way into KP? The latter would be a game changer and would benefit more than just the tunnel-bound busses. The EP and East Bay busses also come up Main and cross the river at Washington, if I’m not mistaken.

I was hoping there would be some tunnel access to pedestrians somehow. Going up college hill is fucking dreadful and not accessible to anyone except those with a decent car -- those with accessibility issues, bikes, scooters, etc, are fucked.
Not sure how it'll be done but I'd love to see it!

It's a 'no' in most other people's views though. I hate to be a debbie-downer, but as someone who does outreach about this, most residents see greenery as a huge negative. It's always been an uphill battle in this city, including the East Side as residents continue to mow down greenery for stupid reasons.
"Trees destroy the sidewalks and could hurt buildings."
"Greenery promotes wildlife, I don't want squirrels, rats, birds, and other animals around."
Etc.
Continue voting for greenery though my friend, let's make a difference!

They offer rentals. You will want to contact them about 1st time shooters. I believe there is some required instruction that they offer onsite as well.
The Peacedale Preserve has a similar offering. Rentals and instruction for new shooters.

There's a spot on higginson avenue that has rock climbing ax throwing a bar, some cool puzzle / escape rooms, it also has paintball and oversized go-karts

Axe bar in Lincoln is cool spot. They also have go-kart racing, darts, and a bunch of other stuff.

I am interested in this too. My son's 23rd bday is coming up and I know he'd love something like this.

So first I find out Roger Williams has a botanical garden and now you’re telling me there’s a history museum there? I’ve been there so many times and never even knew any of this was there.

Sounds super interesting, do you need to bring your own gun or do they have some there that you can use?

I voted for the stops and trees on Thayer too along with the bidirectional bus lanes for Washington, that'd speed up inbound trips quite a bit.

Adding greenery to Thayer street is an automatic yes in my book.

Not in Providence, but I like Yorker Shoes in Johnston. Rhode Runner put me in shoes that didn't work with my supportive insoles. Yorker has a machine that figures out where you foot's pressure points are, they sell insoles, and they make sure the shoe doesn't work against the insole.

What about service animals/emotional support? Still an added fee? Because I know landlords are obligated to allow those types of pets regardless, but can they legally still charge for it?

It’s not just darts. There are like interactive games connected to the dart board. And you have a server the whole time you’re there. It’s literally the same price as bowling

Paragon Mill in Olneyville is now accepting applications. From what I understand, they are income limited, which indicates lower rents for those who quality.

The museums! There’s the RISD museum, the natural history, the whaling museum, the observatory at Brown I think that’s open to viewing.

Freeplay!!! You pay a fee to get in then you can play all the old school arcade games as much as you want. There is a bar if you want to grab a drink or some pizza.
