So it turns out that the mean ladies from Twitter like to read stuff here to rage bait over there - apparently they have nothing better to do like volunteering at the hospital or for kids in need, etc. This post got them all upset. Smh

People are wasting precious time stuck in this crappy 195 traffic and the best the RIDOT director can tell us is that it's definitely not his fault. How about he admits that as head of RIDOT, he bears responsibility and he's sorry?

I have been complaining about Alviti forever. EG main roads are all state rds. That includes Main St (rt 1) and South County Trail (rt 2). We've been asking for sidewalks (which shouldn't be controversial) and repaving and lights syncing and traffic calming forever.

So much for the lies that renewable energy is expensive.
Plus, this smart plan encourages energy use during the free hours, which lowers costs by lowering demand in the other hours.
