it’s about time for a #JustAMinute action here on hazardous Comm Ave near the recent near-fatal crash.

2 immediate actions & 1 follow-up everyone for safe streets should demand: 1. More ped xing frequency/time. 2. Paint crosswalk to cover the entirety of the diagonal cross zone (right up to the front bumper of the pickup truck in the photo). 3. Lane reduction & parking-protected lane. 2/2

How do @streets.boston.gov & @bostonu.bsky.social bear fault? 1st, street design is hazardous, w/ terrible sight lines & door zone bike lanes of type that killed Louisa Gag. 2nd, this is compounded by long wait times for ped xing because traffic sewer priority. So peds like me cross diagonally. 1/2

City’s logic? “A lion is a type of cat & thus…constitutes a pet. The regulation ... does not include any exception or threshold based on the size of the cat. The fact that a lion may be large does not remove the animal from the category of ‘cat.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/29/m...

Newton NIMBYs demand more parking next to the T, because everyone must be saddled with a car.
1186 Walnut St- New 35 unit apartment building with 9 parking spaces being proposed

A new 35 unit apartment building with parking for 9 cars is being proposed for the former gas station building located at 1186 Walnut St in Newton Highlands. This property was sold in 2017 for $1,930,000 and resold on 8/18/26 for $2.6 million. 



The 10k sq ft lot has been utilized as overflow parking for O’Hara’s restaurant customers during off peak hours with the permission of whomever owned this property over the past decades. During the pandemic O’Hara’s was able to set up an outdoor restaurant at this site.



The developer who is proposing this new 35 unit “affordable” apartment building with only 9 parking spaces will be speaking at the next Newton Highlands Area Council meeting which is taking place this Thursday, Oct 1st at 7pm. Please reach out to Alison Haran at 617-653-5322 for more details.



There is an effort underway to overturn Newton’s overnight parking ban.There are thousands of apartments in various stages of construction throughout Newton right now. Much of this new housing development has been approved without adequate parking to accommodate the residents who will be residing in these new apartment buildings. If the overnight parking ban is overturned then people will be able to park in front of Newton homes and on City streets year round which has historically not been allowed. Some people fear that their trash barrels will be blocked from sanitation truck pick up plus that their driveways will be blocked by illegally parked cars if this is allowed to occur.



What are your thoughts? Do you like the idea of apartment buildings being built without enough parking spaces for the residents to have at least one car? Would you be able to live in one of these new buildings without a vehicle based on the current public transportation that is available in Newton?
