ReplyI'm sorry but ONE DAY notice of this meeting was not enough time for me to change my schedule around for this. Please let me know TWO WEEKS in advance and I will get that next meeting PACKED with people who want restaurants. If you don't want noise and traffic then the solution is simple, move out of the city. Walkable neighborhoods are trending right now with cute restaurants and diners in a walkable space from your house. Years ago, there was much more commercial space in this town, but they were turned into condos. Time to change that back around!

ReplyThe Baby Pool is a way of life. We've been fine for 32 years, and now they are concerned? Take the barriers down and open the gate up top on the balcony, let people enjoy life a little bit.

ReplyI was excited to be a part of the Democratic Caucus process today, but unfortunately I was turned down at the door and not allowed to vote. I am very upset, even thinking about changing my party to Republican!

Mark, if you haven't already, click on the link in the article (community comments), register, and voice your opinion on more restaurants. They need to hear that this is what Charlestown wants.

Thanks Jay. The problem in Charlestown is that we don't have enough retail space for businesses to even think about opening a place in Charlestown. We as residents need to make sure we voice that we want more retail space included in the plans when developers like this are planning a new development in Charlestown.

On the article Letter: Surface Option Would Improve Transportation, Promote Public Health
Sean Boyle

I get your point. BUT
If someone is coming from the North via the Tobin and wants to get to I-93 North or to all points North of Everett, they will still have to get off and use Rutherford Avenue.
If someone is coming from the West, (from the Prison Point Bridge), they will still have to go through Rutherford Ave to get to I-93 North/South, Route 1 North, or Everett.
If someone wants to get on I-93 South from the North-West (Everett, Malden, E. Somerville etc.) they will have to go through Rutherford Ave.
The only way the surface option would actually be beneficial is if there was:
A) An access point to I-93 South & North via Sullivan Square
B) An access point to I-93 North via the Tobin Bridge & City SquareCharlestown is a Central Artery point for the highways in Boston, yet the don't all connect with each other. Failed Artery = Failed System.

Reply3) How about addressing the needs of the youth for once? Yeah they have plenty of sports programs and after school clubs, but where is the "fun" for teens? This building is big enough to be let's say - a bowling alley, arcade, or a movie theater. Yeah you can say that we already have a "theater" but it doesn't show films. Where will people park? They don't need to park! It's a one square mile town, walk. Not the appropriate place? It sure is! Look at the bowling alley in Southie. Where is it? Right in the middle of Broadway! The small movie theater in Somerville? Right in Davis Square. It would be far more useful to do these things than to have some housing units.

ReplyI disagree with the residents who were at this meeting. I wish I knew it were happening so I could voice my opinion.
1) The last thing we need is more condos. Why is every square inch of this town being turned into residential units? Kind of sad that I grew up in this town, and I'm never going to be able to raise a family here.
2) I 100% completely disagree with only having "quiet" retail at this location. The residents of this town WANT more restaurants and bars. Hospitality retail will thrive in this town. Why? Because we are confined to a select few eatery & drinking options. We should encourage more restaurants/bars to open. People who think it isn't an appropriate spot are ridiculous. It's on a MAIN ROAD of our town. Try going to other parts of Boston and you'll see plenty of restaurants/bars in "residential" areas. We live in the CITY, noise is inevitable.
