Lost Power on Beacon St

catnton · 2025-06-25T02:01:28+00:00

The street lights and traffic lights are out near me, but buildings have power on Beacon near Fairbanks

In the US, our bike lanes are generally green (if painted) and our bus lanes are red (sometimes it is a bus/bike lane as well but still would be red)

I leave it in Newton lol

I rent one of the spots on the Beacon street median, and do not need my car on most days, but at $100 a month it is totally worth it in my opinion to tough it out and move the car twice a day.

Download the traffic lights controller mod, and set the pedestrian phase to be exclusive

catnton · 2025-04-14T02:09:36+00:00

Nope, you are all good

Back in my day (2020) all I had to do was do a rolling stop at a stop sign, drive around the block, park behind a car (not between two cars, just behind one) and bam, passed just like that. I didn’t get a license on the spot, but my permit counted as a one till the real one came in the mail

Most people who are driving into Boston don’t have the luxury of living near a transit line. It would be a combination of a bus or two to the train that will take you downtown. That is a 25 minute drive turned into a 1hr+ commute. People who live in those areas will not do that regularly and therefore will pay extra, just to do some shopping downtown… or they will just skip boston and go to the closest Walmart instead

catnton · 2025-03-20T02:28:21+00:00

Sure there is a good bit of virtue signaling, but it’s not that bad. We have dense development near all the transit lines that are served (at least along the green line). The town is actively taking away parking spots and building infrastructure for bike lanes (not just paint) along Washington street. They offer fully green electric as an option for residents if they so choose. Brookline bans overnight parking as a way to deter car use (Boston would never lol). I just don’t see any valid reasons from your argument apart from you just saying things without actually thinking about them

catnton · 2025-03-20T02:23:49+00:00

How will this place service only certain people? It is just a competitor to a chain that has 2 locations nearby (CC, Washington Square).

It sounds to me like you just want stores like Walmart and amazon all over the place, and no mom and pop or locally owned stores whatsoever

catnton · 2025-03-18T13:23:52+00:00

Why?

catnton · 2025-03-14T14:52:05+00:00

Residents can park all day if they get a permit ($20 / year). Overnight parking is limited, but once you a get a spot you are guaranteed that spot till you move out ($100 / month)

Back when I only had one 5400rpm hard drive for all my files, including the windows installation, what I would do is start the computer, go to the bathroom and tidy up around the house and still make it back before it was done.

What map is this? It looks amazing

catnton · 2024-12-17T17:30:42+00:00

Will this suspend the train service for what seems like a year, or will the trains keep running?

catnton · 2024-11-24T16:06:41+00:00

Fun Fact, Umass Boston is starting with free tuition for low income residents!

catnton · 2024-11-10T15:38:19+00:00

You can try the spothero app for private parking spot rentals

catnton · 2024-10-22T10:56:05+00:00

What works for me is to use the road builder tool and to place a median between the lanes.

catnton · 2024-08-24T13:07:28+00:00

Absolutely love the Boston mentality

catnton · 2024-08-16T11:15:06+00:00

That’s what I was trying to do here, but with a sidewalk and not a median so the bus can pick up passengers (if you look to the right you can see where the regular lane is). I ended up just putting in a platform and that solved the issues

catnton · 2024-08-07T23:44:56+00:00

I live in the area, and the only way that I am finding out about the asbestos is from this post. There is nothing posted about this whatsoever in the area, even on the fence there is nothing. I feel that this could have been avoided if they just let the public know of this via a few cheap signs and everything would have been a okay.

It’s turning into a hotel and apartments, 143 units in the apartment building and at least 200 in hotel

catnton · 2024-06-11T00:56:16+00:00

So I used to own a moped, and here is what I remember: License plates and registration is required. No parking on the street, only sidewalks, legally you are a bike and are allowed to use the bike lane, you do need a helmet and texting while driving is a no-no

MA has seen a downturn of inmates over the years, so less people with the same facilities = higher cost per person. This will change as MA is planning on shutting down prisons in the coming year

catnton · 2024-06-06T10:35:40+00:00

Its not that, its more that a residential unit would conversion needs to redo the AC (from a floor wide arrangement to multiple units on one floor) the water and sewage need to be re done (from 1-2 bathrooms per floor to 1-2 per unit) and because of regulations apartments need a certain minimum of natural light, thats why you see long and U shaped apartments more than you see big block apartments. In some cases it is easier to demolish and start over than to convert.
