Construction, Construction And More Construction

Some people tell us they're upset about the removal of the tree in front of the Bradford Family YMCA at the corner of Kennedy and Boylston streets.




Well, let's concentrate on the positive, shall we? Several new trees have been planted on Boylston Street -- with more to come -- in Bradford's Streetscape Project. We also have new sidewalks on Boylston and part of Kennedy Street, with more renovation work going on there, too. In my opinion, it's going to look beautiful when it's finished. It's already a vast improvement. (Oh, look! Another Jeep.)

For those of you who haven't been driving near Main Street lately -- or have been driving there and have been wondering what's going on -- this is why you can't drive east on Main from Davis to High streets.

The traffic pattern will remain in place until further notice, so please don't be like the driver who ignored the fact that there are barriers in the "left turn" lane on Davis Street and tried to turn left anyway and caused a bit of a traffic jam Saturday afternoon.

And we haven't heard much about this lately but work is continuing at Parkway Field.
