RIDOT and PVD city planning have scheduled the follow-up meeting for street designs emerging from the teardown of “old” I-195.  Changes to the earlier design (based on earlier public feedback) will be presented, including new alternatives for the Wickenden/Point/Benefit/South Main/South Water clusterf#*k interchange.  Your participation is crucial to ensuring livable streets in Fox Point and the Jewelry District!

Monday, Feb 1, 6-8 pm, at Vartan Gregorian Elementary School Community Room (that’s the Bath House to you that have been living here for a while), 455 Wickenden Street.

Here’s a flier, courtesy of PVD Planning & Development, that you can forward around, stick on your fridge, pin to your office bulletin board, etc.  (Right-click image to open separately or save to your computer.) See you there!

Jewelry district to Cranston bike path

Posted in Bike Commuting, Jewelry District, Warwick by Mark Dieterich at 10:21 pm

We received the following via our only contact page:

Hi, I’m interested in trying to commute from home (in Warwick) to my job in the Jewelry District. I can take the Warwick bike path all the way till it ends at the Lowes plaza on Garfield St
in Cranston. I’m looking at Cranston St to Westminster St as a potential route… However, I drove it today in my car, and the stretch of Cranston St seemed high traffic, and a lot of young guys
loitering around on the sidewalk… a little sketchy. Is there any nice route from the end of the bike path to downtown? Should I pack a gun?

Anyone out there with route advice?
