Bus rerouting off Highland Avenue

[redbird]

I just called 311 and asked about the bus rerouting while Highland and Cedar is closed:

There will be bus stops on Summer Street, at about the same cross streets as the bus now stops on Highland. The operator said the stops may not be in exactly equivalent places, and she wasn't sure if there will be as many stops as on Highland, but it's not going nonstop around that stretch.

The operator also said that they were going to be putting up signs as things got closer, which will be useful. (I asked the MBTA about this via their website at the beginning of this week, and have had no reply so far.)

Cambridge Police Review and Advisory Board has a vacancy

[siderea]

For those of us on the other side of the border: The Cambridge Police Review and Advisory Board has a vacancy.

This is the civilian body which reviews findings in complaints against the police.

This is potentially a tremendous opportunity for a Cambridge resident who cares about justice in policing to get involved at the local level, here in our community.

Five year term, no pay, typically one evening a month (last Weds).

I'd do it myself, but haven't the spare spoons.
