Content preview: I live right off one of the oldest roads in North America. North Main St was originally the foot path used by the people of the Narragansett nation traveling between the confluence of the rivers in what became downtown Providence and the settlement at the falls at Pawtucket. The reason N Main has been used by people walking the approximately 4 miles from Providence to Pawtucket for so long is that it takes you out of the Moshassuck valley at a relatively easy place to climb up to the terrace, keeps you out of the swamps and the up and down terrain of what became the North Burial Ground, and then crosses the divide in to the Blackstone watershed at the easiest place to walk over the ridge. Considering how long people have been walking this trail it is rather ironic and sad that when it snows the route along N Main and at its southern end Canal St is not passable to pedestrians. The road is plowed, the traffic moves, but long stretches of it are either unshoveled or have their connectivity blocked by mounds of snow at the corners or next to driveways. For pedestrians throughout Providence and surrounding urban communities the connectivity is broken in the snow due to the accommodations to the cars that are one of the key components in the global weirding bringing us these crazy storms, It appears the neighborhoods are accessible, with more shoveled sidewalks, more corner cut throughs, and less crowded streets, but the connections between the neighborhoods, and the areas between the neighborhoods and downtown, especially some of bridges over the Interstate which seem to be orphans, are rather weak. It happens that the overpass on Broad St was shoveled, but then, and I found this in many places today, when the plows came back to widen the streets, it pushed snow back onto the shoveled out sidewalks. Being the obligatory walker I know routes that expose me to less traffic, I avoid most of N Main St, traveling up on the hill rather than the old road I can get to downtown in one piece. But if we are to be a walkable [...] Content analysis details: (-2.0 points, 5.0 required) pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -1.9 BAYES_00 BODY: Bayes spam probability is 0 to 1% [score: 0.0000] 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message 0.0 MIME_QP_LONG_LINE RAW: Quoted-printable line longer than 76 chars -0.1 DKIM_VALID_AU Message has a valid DKIM or DK signature from author's domain -0.1 DKIM_VALID Message has at least one valid DKIM or DK signature 0.1 DKIM_SIGNED Message has a DKIM or DK signature, not necessarily valid X-Spam-Flag: NO Subject: [Summit] disconnected by snow plowing X-BeenThere: summit@sna.providence.ri.us X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.15 Precedence: list List-Id: "A discussion list for neighborhood issues." <summit_sna.providence.ri.us.sna.providence.ri.us> List-Unsubscribe: <http://sna.providence.ri.us/mailman/options/summit_sna.providence.ri.us>, <mailto:summit-request@sna.providence.ri.us?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://sna.providence.ri.us/pipermail/summit_sna.providence.ri.us/> List-Post: <mailto:summit@sna.providence.ri.us> List-Help: <mailto:summit-request@sna.providence.ri.us?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <http://sna.providence.ri.us/mailman/listinfo/summit_sna.providence.ri.us>, <mailto:summit-request@sna.providence.ri.us?subject=subscribe> Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============6691167176343775103==" Errors-To: summit-bounces@sna.providence.ri.us Sender: "Summit" <summit-bounces@sna.providence.ri.us> X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report X-AntiAbuse: Primary Hostname - fresno.hostforweb.net X-AntiAbuse: Original Domain - gmail.com X-AntiAbuse: Originator/Caller UID/GID - [47 12] / [47 12] X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain - sna.providence.ri.us X-Get-Message-Sender-Via: fresno.hostforweb.net: acl_c_authenticated_local_user: mailman/mailman X-Source: X-Source-Args: X-Source-Dir: > This message is in MIME format.
