Dotrider blog just trashed a post that was probably the most epicly negative post in this blog’s history. YIKES! Our fingers are still burning. But we feel better.
We want to apologize to anyone we verbally assaulted or embarrassed publicly in the past few days. While you probably deserved it, I know thanks to the wicked schedule we’ve been keeping lately our fuse may be a little short.
Those of you were at the end of my vitriole know who you are. You know I was a jerk, but oddly you probably realize there was a little kernal of truth in what I was saying… So think about what you did. I’ll accept your apology if you accept mine.
Bike-wise it’s been quiet in Dot. We did the Parade and had a pretty good time. It was fun to be involved with the folks trying to develop a Food Coop in Dorchester. Big dream by some pretty big dreamers. I bet they can do it. Luckily they didn’t get my name to volunteer. And it goes to show that everyone is a Dotbiker! Again there were hundreds and hundreds of bikes along the side of the parade route ridden by kids and oldsters alike. It is always nice to see us all out there riding!
Watching the 10-Street Solution, it continues to mount up as the biggest screw job to a neighborhood in quite a while. 10 intesections represents less than 20% of the total number of interesections on Dot Ave. The section from Old Colony to Broadway was finished last year but as yet hasn’t had the vaunted and already counted bike lane installed. Waiting for the final paint job? Why didn’t they put it in with the first temporary one LAST YEAR? D’uh!
The bollards in Peabody Square are made of paper mache. At least they feel that light. Small wonder the bid from McCourt was so much lower than the estimates. We’re getting what we’re paying for… We can go on, but most of this was covered in the post we trashed.
Now for some beach time! Good luck!
