A Family or a Crowd? - New York Times
Manassas, Virginia attempts to resolve overcrowding issues not unlike those in Allston and Brighton.
"One 23-year-old Mexican told The Palm Beach Post a couple of years ago that he, too, thought 10 unrelated workers living in a two-bedroom apartment was too much. "Eight people — three in each bedroom and two in the living room — that should be the maximum," he said. This is the problem in Manassas. When crowding becomes commonplace, neighborhoods change. Parking disappears, and mountains of trash appear on the sidewalk on collection day."
Tunnels
= A86 =
Cofiroute is a company building a major tunnel in France to move traffic off city streets and reduce traffic congestion. The project's motto is: "Drive safely underground, life better above ground".
And Europe also has The Channel Tunnel (Chunnel) connecting England and France.
As Harvard contemplates undergraduate housing along the Charles River near the football stadium and putting parts of Soldier's Field Road underground, it is interesting to also think about these other tunnel projects. See the Cooper Robertson & Partners Interim Report for more info about options for a basic campus and urban framework in Allston.

For Honan, the failure is a sign that the neighborhood should get a sturdier (and far more expensive) reinforced sound barrier fence to keep both noise and snow out.
"There are other communities that are supposed to be ahead of us on the list, but we need to pass them now," said Honan, who added that the Turnpike Authority will be meeting with the neighborhood in mid-March. "We deserve much better than this."

Cheaper alternative to NSTAR Electric
Cheaper and more efficient, 'munis' are viable alternative
A typical Cambridge household using 500 kilowatt hours per month in 2005 paid NStar $70.71.
For the same electricity, muni bills were: Peabody $50.02, Braintree $51.04, Concord $54.52, Reading $54.61, Hudson $57.15

Job gives youngsters more than a paycheck - The Boston Globe
Shivering a little as snow fell on Uphams Corner in Dorchester yesterday, a lanky 15-year-old in a black-hooded parka began sweeping dirt and candy wrappers and scraps of crumpled plastic off Dudley Street. Anderson, who lives in South Boston, has spent the last five Saturdays traveling around the city in a van filled with brooms, shovels, and about 10 other youths, filling brown plastic bags with litter as part of a new Boston city winter jobs program.
Sounds like a great program. I hope Harvard St will be on their itinerary.

Scooters, traffic, parking, and oil consumption
Today's New York Times has an interesting full page adverstiement from the Piaggio Group, the company the manufactures Vespa scooters. The ad listed some environmental benefits of scooters (reduced fuel consumption, reduced emissions of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide). Boston could consider how it might make Boston more friendly to people riding scooters, bicycles, and people who use car sharing programs like Zipcar. In addition to being cheaper than owning a car, all of these options would reduce parking shortages in our neighborhoods and scooters and bicycles would reduce traffic congestion too. If the demand for on-street parking was reduced fewer people might want to pave and park in their front yards. Can Boston install more bike racks, places to lock scooters, encourage Zipcars at more locations, and build more bike lanes or otherwise design roads better for things other than cars?

Friday was a big day for bold vision on the other side of the city, too, as Harvard University joined Menino in unveiling plans for the first building in its long-anticipated new campus in Allston: a 500,000-square-foot science complex with a state-of-the-art stem cell laboratory as its centerpiece.
Community leaders in Allston seemed a good deal more impressed with Harvard's move yesterday than were some passers-by on Federal Street with the city's.
''It is an exciting time for me,' said Paul Berkeley, president of the Allston Civic Association. ''We've been sitting at these meetings for many years now. We've done a lot of talking and a lot of listening, and it's exciting to be at the point where all of these ideas are going to start taking shape.'

Harvard to build stem-cell center in Allston
Harvard to build stem-cell center in Boston's Allston section - Boston.com
Harvard University plans to build a 500,000 square foot complex for stem cell research and other science initiatives in Boston's Allston section. Harvard has chosen a German architectural firm, Behnisch Architects, and a site for the complex, which will house the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. Several other cross-departmental science initiatives also will be housed at the site on Western Avenue, east of the intersection at North Harvard and next to the studios of public radio and television broadcaster WGBH. Harvard hopes to break ground on the new building in 2007. In other related developments, Harvard will soon propose an alternative site to Charlesview for their possible relocation. The new potential site tries to address criteria set forth by Charlesview.
Behnisch Architects were the architects for the new Genzyme building in Kendall Square.

Bostonians may be used to getting slapped with fines for illegal parking. But bad behavior will soon cost city residents, too. Armed with new citation books, police are to begin issuing tickets for scores of transgressions of city ordinances: from loud, late-night parties and improperly stored trash to posting handbills in certain public places and using laser pointers in public. The tickets, carrying fines of $10 to $300, are the latest in a series of crime-fighting moves mounted by the city, as officials seek solutions to a wave of violent crime.

How big is 1,000,000 square feet?
Some estimates of Harvard's plan for expansion in Allston have mentioned creating one million square feet of new space. How much is that? This shows the footprint of a million square foot building based on various building heights. Some of this space could be built underground, and Harvard is going to build several buildings, not one, but hopefully this provides some context.

Violent Crime Rising Sharply in Some Cities
Violent Crime Rising Sharply in Some Cities - New York Times
Nationally, the homicide rate peaked in 1991, declined steadily after 1993 and has remained essentially flat since 1999. But in the first six months of 2005, according to preliminary statistics from the F.B.I., the number of homicides nationwide rose 2.1 percent, with the greatest increase, 4.9 percent, in the Midwest. Yet many cities have seen far steeper increases. In Boston and San Francisco the number of homicides last year was at its highest in a decade.
But the police also blame lax sentences and judges who they say let suspects out on bail too easily..."We have people who've done two, three, four, five shootings who are back on the streets," said Kathleen M. O'Toole, Boston's police commissioner. "Unless we have bail reform, unless these impact players with multiple gun arrests are kept off the streets, we won't reverse this problem."

Did you know that Allston and Brighton come in LAST in voter participation in Boston?
Only 46% of our residents are registered to vote. This is the lowest % in Boston. The citywide average is 60% and some communities have more than 70% registration.
Only 24% of our registered voters actually voted in last November's election. This is also the lowest % in Boston. The citwide average was 36% and some communities were as high as 48%.
So only 11% (7,139 out of 65,561) of the residents of Allston and Brighton voted last fall. In places like South Boston and West Roxbury more than 30% of residents voted. How much better would our community be if our turnout matched the city average of 21%?

Allston-Brighton TAB: Neighbors ask, is it legal?
Owners of the yellow one-family house at 28 Adamson St., Allston, are trying to sell the parcel, with a permit pulled Jan. 10 for five, three-bedroom units, a move that goes against the Allston zoning code.
"This person is deliberately taking advantage of what they hope will be a zoning loophole to make money," said local lawyer and neighbor Cathi Campbell at a community meeting on Saturday.
The lot is zoned three-family and can house only three units, but the developers plan to get around this requirement by building a three-story row house with five condos inside.
