You're so welcome! In case you don't mind BYO or getting something somewhere to go a number of the newly renovated/build library branches have neat outdoor seating options for nicer weather. There's a branch conveniently located near Curio that's especially great. Happy reading and sipping! :D

Ok next time I'll include info in the post. I usually try to. I couldn't remember any at the time I made the post and went back after to add them bc I figured it was still useful info. And I edited my comment because I felt the first draft came across as more saercastic/antagonistic than I meant it to and didn't want to be that way. I'm sorry if it seems like I was trying to hide anything. That wasn't my goal.

​

I was just trying my best to get community suggestions and provide my own. I hope you have a good day and stay warm in this wintery weather.

​

Cheers.

(a) One of my suggestions was to petition "Harvard to add an off street bike path parallel to Shepard St to accommodate those cyclists" which wouldn't require city tax dollars.

(b) To be a little Socratic and re-frame your question back to you, (b.1) why should motor vehicles have so much road space? (b.2) And why should so much of that road space be designated for the storage of privately owned vehicles? I.e., why is parking needed there? Cambridge is a city with transit and all those houses on that street have driveways (aka off-street parking).

(c) Why are my city tax dollars going to subsidize motor vehicle users so they can drive around threatening the lives of pedestrians and cyclists and generally be entitled?
