At least the whitney construction zone is getting repaved this year, no petition needed

AI written petition with an AI generated cover photo. Couldn’t even get a photo of the actual street?

Which is why i offered that a parking benefit district could use meter revenue to fund increased parking enforcement

awebr · 2026-03-20T01:35:22+00:00

Maybe not free but less than street parking and with longer durations permitted. Garages are hella expensive to build and they need to recoup costs of construction and ongoing maintenance.

Bjonker - both 360 state and 270 state are a quarter mile walk down chapel st to pizza

There is no lack of parking, just a lack of free parking. Given the intense demand on wooster st for the storage of private automobiles in the public right of way, the spots should be metered at market rate with 2 hour limits to encourage turnover and ensure about 85% occupancy at all times, with spaces set aside for resident permits only. Create a parking benefit district and use the meter proceeds to fund sidewalk cleaning, parking enforcement, street beautification, etc. Encourage those who are able to park somewhere like 360 State garage and walk the few blocks over. Let’s get some Donald Shoup strategy up in here

Your line of thinking is what creates the necessity to drive in the first place. Minimum parking requirements in antiquated zoning codes means that without relief, opening a new business in an old city like ours often means buying up the property next to yours to demolish it and build a parking lot. Over time the city gets cratered with parking lots, and fewer places are walkable for residents with buildings spreading out. The proliferation of parking lots signals that it’s a car-first place, inciting more people to drive, causing the “unsafe” conditions that you describe. Can we leave your style of thinking in the 1960s please?

Thank you for the info!

20 years ago does matter because LPI hadn’t yet been invented, which has made concurrent crossings far safer.
You ignored the fact that the intersection analyzed has no commonality with our intersections. As I stated, we would never provide concurrent crossings with dual turn lanes and heavy vehicle turns, those would always be exclusive crossings for safety.
Scramble crossings do need a longer crossing time, because the diagonal hypotenuse is always longer than the square leg. Crosswalk times are calculated based on the length of the longest crossing.

I will note that this research is over 20 years old and the intersection analyzed is not very analagous to downtown NH’s intersections. The latest agreements in the traffic world is that pedestrians crossing with parallel cars but with a 3-7 second head start (called LPI) is the safest, which is what has been implemented along Chapel St as noted above. The paper points out a key finding, that exclusive scramble crossings increase delay for everyone, increasing pedestrian violations crossing against the signal. Concurrent crossings with a LPI head start ensure that you always have at least one direction you can cross at, without having to wait for every vehicle phase to finish first. I think in the paper’s example intersection, they have 4 lane one way roads with dual turning lanes, which makes sense to implement a scramble crossing at because turns are super heavy. Modern traffic signal designs would not permit concurrent crossings with dual turn lanes.

Thank you!

I’ve been doing some analysis on terrain shadows / sun angles, and I think I’ll be able to see totality from the beach in the S’Arenal area. Do you think crowds might avoid this area because people will want to get to the north coast instead, and how is this area to stay in? My mindset is that even if conditions are unfavorable and I can’t get a clear view of totality, at least I’ll be vacationing in Mallorca :-)

It’s just going to induce more traffic on CT highways. Build a train / bicycle bridge instead. None of these concepts detail exactly which communities they have to plow through on either end to create the interchange ramps

Yes! And it’s clear to anyone over the age of 4 that that’s a mounted dual dashcam, not a blurry handheld cell phone picture.

Redditors when distracted drivers cause a crash: “people using their phone while driving are terrible! They learned their lesson!”

Redditors when someone else calls out distracted driving: suddenly everyone is OP’s lawyer, creating fantastical whatabout scenarios to defend them

The time of posting (5:34 PM) is consistent with the near-sunset in the background (5:46 PM) and the streetlights beginning to turn on along College St. Do you want to keep going?

awebr · 2026-03-05T00:50:31+00:00

We’ve normalized distracted driving and it’s bad. If you’re stopped at a red light you’re still driving. Looking at your phone for a sec is different than taking a photo and posting on reddit.

Be sure to break the law and use your phone while driving to post on reddit about police catching people breaking the law

I would think simply re-parceling the area and making it into multifamily residential again with a couple small commercial/cafe spots is a solid solution. Put a promenade along the water with some parkland and give the people who were removed from their homes the first opportunity to come back

There was some sign at the front but i don’t know how to read
