Recap: Woonsocket Plan: Smithfield Road Goes Four Lanes Near New School

Smithfield Road would be repaved from Park Square to Providence Street and restriped to four lanes before the new elementary school opens, according to speakers. A $282,000 engineering contract, possibly paid from the city's capital fund, is expected on Monday's agenda. Construction is estimated at $1.2 million to $1.5 million, and speakers said temporary striping would be used if funding is not found.

Kids Who Love Trains Will Lose Their Minds Over These 5 Massachusetts Rail Experiences

One railroad in this state runs past cranberry bogs and dunes that you can only reach by rail. That alone made me grin like a kid holding a toy whistle. The fun keeps going from there. Families can ride behind a steam-powered locomotive, sit in train cars around 100 years old, or press buttons that send model trains rolling around tiny tracks.

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.

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.

We had our people that are feeling really sad about this,” she said.

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

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.
