Ron, adding target="_blank" to the link would help. Thanks.

What does that do?

opens it in a new window

[ron_newman]

I don't see much point in that. If someone wants to open it in a new window or a new tab, that's easily done with a keystroke.

i'm not the one that suggested it! :P

Annoy people.

Whatever happened to a better plan of routing the bike path through Davis Sq? That used to be an item on Rebekah's newsletter, but not anymore. Is that not happening anymore? What was the outcome of that? Thanks.

[ron_newman]

I believe this is scheduled for next year. It will probably disappoint you in some ways, as it only involves striping down the middle of the Rite-Aid parking lot, and widening the sidewalk along the busway.

Many people who attended Davis Square Task Force meetings objected to more ambitious plans that involved building a two-way bike path alongside the brick plaza, so that's not going to happen.

Thanks for the info Ron. Though that does sound a little disappointing.

I noticed that's the only Brooks Pharmacy around with out a "Rite Aid coming soon" sign. I wonder if they're already caving to the future CVS @ One Davis Square.

[ron_newman]

Every Brooks Pharmacy is becoming a Rite-Aid. Some already have the new signs up, others don't.

Brooks has been Rite Aid for a couple of months according to the employees. The sign just has not been changed yet.

The newsletter is very informative. I was glad to see that she posted about the Green Line hearings today but I wish she'd included the email addresses of the 2 people one can direct written comments (if you're interested, they are: katherine.fichter@eot.state.ma.us and christine.kirby@state.ma.us). I don't know how many people actually send physical letters anymore.
