Reply to R.I. transportation projects and trends to watch in 2023 by Beezlegrunk

>RIPTA: ”A centerpiece of RIPTA’s Transit Master Plan is development of two High-Capacity Transit routes linking downtown Providence with other communities in the metro area. In 2023, with a $900,000 RAISE planning grant and other allocated funds, RIPTA will work with residents, businesses, transit riders, and other stakeholders to study and select the preferred routing of the service and decide which high-capacity transit mode (light rail or bus rapid transit) will best serve Rhode Islanders.”

>RI Transit Riders: “We also expect the state to implement the Transit Master Plan, which will extend transit access to all parts of the state, and improve existing service by increasing the frequency of current bus lines. The Transit Master Plan will create more bus hubs, add more bus rapid transit, and improve connectivity within the state while also improving our connection to Boston through light rail.”

Reply to comment by Hellion102792 in Providence to install 60 more license plate cameras by Beezlegrunk

If Cranston's mayor is anything like Fung, he's not progressive. Meanwhile, Elorza is a darling of some on the left, who advocates hiring more police and putting license-plate readers everywhere — which are right out of the Republican policy playbook.

He's clearly studied Bill Clinton's "politics of gesture" and knows how to pander to different segments of the city, but in a cynical and contradictory way. I assume the mayor of Cranston doesn't act like a liberal to some constituents while being a conservative with others ...
