Life in the Ville by Jimmy Del Ponte

Between Davis Square and Teele Square there is no parking on Holland St. there is a public parking lot but no other spaces on the street. Here are your comments in quotes:

“Cambridge has spread into west Somerville, and completely taken over. You want change? Get out and vote.”

“Turnout is low because many current residents are transient therefore are not really invested in the city. No longer a family city as in the past. Sad.”

“What every normal city does. Broadway backup on weekends are ridiculous- empty bike lanes and weekend schedule of busses as cars idle all the way up Broadway – geniuses at the helm.”

“There are still many parking spots (metered) including many Handicapped spots. A large municipal parking lot across Orleans and garage parking under for HVMA. Some of the parking spaces have moved to next to the bike lane maybe you missed them?”

“This is it in a nutshell. We have low voter turnout. People need to show up and vote her out!”

“Why can’t people park in front of their houses like they did before? Because of bike and bus lanes? Let’s tell the elderly that they have to walk a quarter of a mile away in the ice and snow. Just shameful!”

“Bike lanes are a disgrace and lawsuits should be filed for discrimination of the handicapped and elderly. Killing small business too – shameful. Back in the day this NEVER would have happened because we cared about our neighbors and families. Bike lanes should be outlawed along with beta men wearing spandex. Wow!”

All I can say is thank goodness for residential parking stickers.
