Where do I sign up for offordaable housing

What is the plan for pedestrians–only see vehicle plan
SSF is a disaster
SSF is a disaster
Traffic is congested during the construction, with all traffic lights not properly working. City officials should drive there so they know what it feels like because traffic is slower now, and not worried about looking good on paper
We already have too many apartments in South City. That intersection is already a nightmare and ripe for an accident. What will it look like when they start construction on the new city center.
Don’t worry. The city will “adjust the timing of the traffic signals” and all the traffic problems at Westborough/Chestnut and ECR will be solved. ROFL !
Can’t wait to see the impact of the added cars will have on the already congested traffic,especially at
rush hour.
