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.

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.

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.

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.
