Reply to comment by FrutaFertil in $27M grant could finish Providence's bike lane network, but Smiley noncommittal by lestermagnum
That's really disappointing to me, someone who goes to Plant City all the time and likes not having to worry about being run over by bikes on the sidewalk because of this new addition.

Reply to comment by lightningbolt1987 in Fox Point Air Quality by lightningbolt1987
Sometimes the smell of gas fumes when I’m driving on 95N then the 195 exit is super strong. I always wondered if it was from those white holding tanks off Allen’s Ave. And I know what you mean it’s not car gas, it’s like a natural gas smell. I’ve never smelled it when I’m in Fox point, but Probably just haven’t been there at those times when it smells.

I haven’t tried but Troop has some on the menu that sound good. They also have Athletic beer.

I’m fully aware that any bartender can make a mocktail. Having actual mocktails on the menu makes ordering without explanation significantly easier for people who don’t care to discuss why they aren’t drinking.

If the infrastructure is good, people will use it. Sidewalk riding happens because there is no other safe option. A line of white paint and a glyph of a bicycle is not infrastructure.

Give me protected bike lanes that actually connect to each other and can get me places, and I'll give up riding on the sidewalk forever. Honestly I hate riding on the sidewalk and only do it as a last resort. Most of them around here are bumpy and uneven, and with all the driveways and other curb cuts it's never a pleasant ride. Riding in the road, where I am legally allowed to be, is the most comfortable from a physical perspective, but from a "all of these cars are going to kill me" perspective it's not great, so the sidewalk looks pretty appealing.

A lot of manufacturing sites are 24/7 and tend to have rotating schedules or permanent night shifts. Check out if places in Quonset are hiring

No, Buddy's house is on the same side of Benefit but a block or more toward Wickenden.

I’ve lived in Fox Point between Governor and Ives for 12 years and have never noticed a problem with the air quality.

Also the owners of Plant City were strongly opposing the bike lane by their store…

The belief that everyone on a bike is some lawless asshole is a wrong one. There have been a bunch of studies about it and I linked a couple below.
Also since you're so concerned about people on bikes obeying traffic laws, when you're in your car I assume you come to a complete and full stop at every stop sign? You must also obey every speed limit every time, never daring to go 30+ in a 25...
Of course, drivers have a great track record around here of obeying traffic laws and being generally respectful.

Tbh the messaging about when meetings happen isn’t the best but the best place to find out about them is the Facebook group: https://m.facebook.com/?tbua=1#!/profile.php?id=100064777716313

Unless drivers are willing to obey traffic laws, car lanes do jack shit.
I can make stupid arguments too 🤡
