Letter to the editor: Regarding the proposed development on North Main

I am writing to express dismay at the approval of the vapid, cookie-cutter building proposed for North Main. This building is a boring clone of the other Kleenex box structures sprouting all over Providence. There is absolutely nothing attractive about it — the developers couldn’t even be bothered to pretend to have trees or a relationship with the sidewalk and pedestrians. People are already complaining about the impact on parking, but North Main needs and can easily accommodate more density, especially if it would take advantage of its location to serve multiple transportation modes such as the train and bus station. It’s wide enough for large trees, it has space for local and even small chain stores (Marshalls or TJ Maxx, for example, which exist now only in the suburbs!), it could have wider sidewalks and a dedicated bike lane — and on and on. Despite the acres of frequently empty parking lots, moreover, the west side of the street has a prime location above the Moshassuck River. If you look at the satellite map of the area, that side is totally bereft of any amenities, while the east side has shade, trees, and a variety of different building types.

Recap: North Providence Zoning Board Rejects Car Wash Permit Extension

The zoning approvals for a planned car wash on Mineral Spring Avenue were not extended. The board voted 5-0 against the extension after a neighboring apartment owner's attorney argued the approvals expired in December 2025 under Section 509 of the town ordinance. The applicant argued court appeals stopped the clock. The objector's attorney suggested the company could seek the relief again at a new public hearing.

A closer look at Menhaden quota cut - enough, or too much? | Exclusive

The Atlantic Menhaden Management Board voted to cut the menhaden quota, but depending on who you talk to, the board either didn't go far enough, or went too far. The current coastwide total allowable catch is 186,840 metric tons. The board approved cutting it to 170,000 metric tons for 2027 and 155,000 metric tons for 2028. The next time the board will revisit the quota is in three years. In another regulatory move, the board voted to set the annual proportion of the Chesapeake Bay reduction fishing cap to the coastwide total available catch at 21.8%, which equates to 37,123 metric tons in 2027 and 33,847 metric tons in 2028. The decisions came Tuesday and Wednesday during the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s annual meeting, held this year in Newport, Rhode Island. They followed months of public debate that saw thousands of public comments; over 48,000 written comments were submitted on the bay cap alone. Several issues stoked public concern, principally, widespread osprey nest failures have the predatory bird population in a tailspin and an overfished striped bass stock, that, according to the ASMFC, has seen 7 years of low recruitment in the Chesapeake Bay. As both the opsrey and
