Promising new zoning proposal

Saw this in the Union Square main streets newsletter:

 

Anything that reduces car trips in Somerville and makes life better for non car owners is a good idea in my book, and I'm excited about the number of proposed changes.   Please show your support to your alderman.

I'm guessing "coke" was just a natural shortening of the more innocuous "Coca-Cola," in which case it wouldn't have been a case of Coke naming their product after an industrial fuel, but of using the name that the public assigned to it, which is pretty safe.

...and the original name is pretty straightforward, because the drink contains extracts from both the Coca and kola plants.
