Why was this blazing pizza oven being towed through Boston tunnel traffic?

Wood-fired pizza caterer Fired Up said it received a “flood” of messages after video of its lit oven going through a Boston tunnel was shared online. Like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates, Boston’s downtown tunnels remain a master class in the unusual and unexpected. Traffic is a given, but recent years have also brought luggage-wielding walkers, unruly teens on bikes, and even an adorably turned-around pup.

Cambridge parking permit changes address chronic underfunding

On December 1, Cambridge residents can start renewing their resident parking permits, and for the first time since 2013, the price is going up, from $25 to $75. Though this may seem like a large increase, the true price was never really $25. Rather, neighbors without cars were paying part of the difference.

Sauro: Concerns about one-year trial of amending Overnight Parking Ban

I am writing as a concerned resident and as Chair of the Nonantum Neighborhood Association regarding the recent City Council vote to amend the Overnight Parking Ban Ordinance. In last November’s election, our City’s long-time overnight ban was on the ballot. Newton residents voted to keep the ban. Yet instead of following the will of the voters, the Council decided by a 14-9 vote to shorten the ban’s duration.

YOUR VIEW: Parking lot criticism ‘missed the mark’

Reasons offered in a recent letter in the Plymouth Independent questioning the addition of 90 new parking spaces at Nathaniel Morton Elementary School missed the mark. Limiting impervious surfaces and reducing the potential for contaminant runoff into the harbor is always beneficial. But adding shared parking spaces at this location won’t change society’s preference for large vehicles; it doesn’t argue for smaller (compact) parking spaces, and it won’t reduce harmful stormwater runoff.

YOUR VIEW: CAL Express will ‘widen the road’

The expansion of Plymouth’s CAL Express transportation program is more than an adjustment to a schedule. For an older adult who cannot drive, a ride can determine whether the day includes friendship, a class, a medical appointment, or hours of unwanted isolation. Transportation is sometimes called a convenience. For many neighbors, it is the difference between being included and being left behind.

Parking and construction fuel frustration in New Bedford | Exclusive

NEW BEDFORD — Downtown New Bedford business owners say continued construction, detours and parking difficulties are making it harder to attract customers and keep their businesses profitable. For some, the closure of longtime restaurant Whaler’s Tavern has sharpened concerns about their own future. “It was difficult for locals to get to us. Never mind someone who is a tourist who’s not familiar,” said Kristen Brito. She worked at the tavern for nearly a decade before receiving the news in a text that they would be closing. “We had our customers, we had our regulars. We had our people that are feeling really sad about this,” she said. More: New Bedford Whaling Museum shares expansion plans for summer 2027 Brito believes construction for the New Bedford Whaling Museum expansion on North Water Street contributed significantly to the tavern’s difficulties. She said it wasn’t its sole cause, but the street was closed for 10 weeks during peak tourist season, making the restaurant harder to reach for both regular customers and visitors. “Construction killed the foot traffic and the road traffic,” she said. Visitors coming from the Whaling Museum also faced longer walks around closures, she said, creating a particular challenge for older
