Charlie Cards
I submitted an application for a Charlie Card (for seniors) on May 6 in Watertown, when the Brownsberger staff kindly presented an opportunity to do this. I think I was told that I would receive the card by mail. When should I expect to receive it? Thanks.
The dangerous Charles River pathway / street intersections
I just want to pass along this video that highlights the severe danger and lack of accessibility at several major street crossings along the Paul Dudley White path on the Charles River. I hope that this is the year that we start to fix these longstanding, life-threatening problems with our parkland pathways.
Route 2/Route 16 Intersection Update
State Rep. Dave Rogers offers an update at his website. The project went out to bid last year and, after several years of design work, is finally underway. See this thread for more information on traffic in the Fresh Pond/Alewife area.
