So there was a Davis Square Task Force meeting last night. I missed it. Can anyone give us the minutes or a summary? Sounds like lots of interesting things were on the agenda.

what about the bike path extension, or 400 Highland? And I assume that Halloween store won't be there forever right?

Three Cambridge police officers are trying to reopen 400 Highland as a "modern" Italian restaurant (that is, reflecting what today's Italians eat as opposed to what Italians ate when their families immigrated here a century ago).

The "bike path extension" discussion was really a discussion of how to route the bike path through Davis Square, closing the gap between Brooks Pharmacy and Seven Hills Park. These plans are still somewhat speculative and require buy-in from the MBTA, which hasn't happened yet.

Any interesting proposals? Their current non-solution certainly bugs me every time I deal with it (I love the "no biking" icons posted on the coupla yards between the obvious bike path in Seven Hills, and the obvious road, right along the obvious place to bike! because dismounting for a few yards is something that is so logical for everyone to do. so I hope someone has a less dumb idea).

Yeah, I would really like to know what these proposals are. Is there any info online anywhere? I take the path to work, and it really bugs me that there is no solution at all.

The Halloween store was there for a month last year and then was gone. The only reason it's there now is that for reasons unnown, the owners have let the place remain vacant. Trust me, noone is more surprised to have Halloween Scream back than the guy who runs the place.
