<p>Dear Neighbors, </p>
<p>I live on Orchard street in JP and learned from a neighbor tonight that the DCR plans for the "Arborway bike plan" to redesign arborway traffic include some concerning changes that greatly affect our neighborhood.</p>
<p>These include:</p>
<ol>
<li>Orchard street will have 2 way traffic</li>
<li>Prince street will have 2 way traffic</li>

<p>Dear Neighbors, </p>
<p>I live on Orchard street in JP and learned from a neighbor tonight that the DCR plans for the "Arborway bike plan" to redesign arborway traffic include some concerning changes that greatly affect our neighborhood.</p>
<p>These include:</p>
<ol>
<li>Orchard street will have 2 way traffic</li>
<li>Prince street will have 2 way traffic</li>
<li>ALL Moss hill traffic wil be funneled into Parkman drive via left to Prince Street U-turn</li>
<li>Arborway traffic reduced from 4 lanes to 2 lanes</li>
<li>Traffic lights at Prince, Pond & Centre removed</li>
</ol>
<p>In particular I am concerned about #1 & 2 as I can't imagine this is possible without taking away the on-street parking we rely on, as well as increased traffic and speeding on our small neighborhood street.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>If you share these concerns, please provide comments to DCR due by this Friday March 6th by calling at 617-626-4974.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

My friendly pitbull-mix named Lola has been missing since Monday about 5pm, she was last seen on Centre Street in JP where we live. She is black and white and has similar marking of the pitbull Petey from the Little Rascals. I really am worried about her, and I miss my puppy. She is not wearing tags, just a choke collar, please contact me if you have any information about Lola 617-669-2529.

Watch out for new handicapped parking space on Boylston!tag:neighborsforneighbors.org,2011-02-19:1171189:Topic:662462011-02-19T00:33:35.909ZSara Castanedahttp://neighborsforneighbors.org/profile/SaraCastaneda
There's new handicapped/disabled parking space on Boylston just before Beecher. Wanted to let people know because since they put it up early this week, three or four (ie the majority) of cars parked there have not had a disabled placard or plate and are parked illegally. I know the fine is expensive and if caught, you can get towed. Figure some people may not be noticing the new sign.
