OMG. Anyone going to First Night....? -----Original Message----- From: psna-bounces(a)lists.portersquare.net [mailto:psna-bounces@lists.portersquare.net] On Behalf Of John Howard Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2009 7:22 AM To: psna(a)portersquare.net Subject: [PSNA] Red Line shut down this weekend Heads up! The Cambridge Chronicle reports that the Red Line will be shut down for tunnel repairs all day this Saturday and Sunday. The T will run busses instead and optimistically advises riders to allow an additional 10-15 minutes travel time. Between this and the snow, it will be lots of fun to drive on Mass Ave. John http://tinyurl.com/y9zlhgo or http://www.wickedlocal.com/cambridge/news/x1671990417/Bus-service-between-Ha rvard-Alewife-this-weekend-during-Red-Line-repairs _______________________________________________ PSNA mailing list PSNA(a)lists.portersquare.net http://lists.portersquare.net/listinfo.cgi/psna-portersquare.net

FW: Rat Alert
by Ruth Ryals 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Unfortunately, they like to live where we live. It is more comfortable than Mass Ave or the railroad tracks. And the food is probably better. Just a warning that we should keep our eyes open. There is rarely only one rat. Visit the Rodent Control website at www.cambridgema.gov for some advice if you spot them. Ruth From: nwaldstein(a)aol.com [mailto:nwaldstein@aol.com] Sent: Monday, December 28, 2009 7:35 PM To: rryals(a)comcast.net Subject: Rat Alert Hi Ruth, you may want to let people know that a rat was sighted on Upland Road. I will call the animal control folk, but people should beware. nan

fyi From: Craig Kelley [mailto:craig@craigkelley.org] Sent: Monday, December 28, 2009 9:30 AM To: Craig Kelley Subject: FW: stop signs at the corner of Walden and Raymond Folks: I've gotten a bunch of emails from folks concerned about a rumored removal of the stop signs on Walden and Raymond. Apparently, Ms. Clippinger has as well and she has responded that there are no plans to remove those signs. Here email is below. Enjoy the holidays and a great new year to all. Craig _____ From: Clippinger, Sue [mailto:sclippinger@cambridgema.gov] Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 5:42 PM To:; Amaral, Wayne Cc: City Council Subject: RE: stop signs at the corner of Walden and Raymond I am not at all sure what has occurred that caused you to send this email. There are no plans at this time to remove the sign. We remain extremely worried about the safety of the stop sign which can be severely compromised if vehicles do not stop because it is such an unexpected location. Please use extreme care at that location. Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 4:29 PM To: Clippinger, Sue; Amaral, Wayne Cc: City Council Subject: stop signs at the corner of Walden and Raymond Dear Ms. Clippinger and Mr. Amaral, A neighbor has alerted me to the fact that the stop signs at the corner of Raymond and Walden Streets might be removed. Given the history of accidents at that intersection, I think this would be a serious mistake. As someone who has spent scores of hours over the years waiting for my kids' school bus at that corner, I worry about the increased danger that would accompany the removal of the stop signs. I urge you to maintain clearly marked stop signs at the corner. Thanks for your consideration. Sincerely, David Quigley Dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Boston College david.quigley(a)bc.edu

FW: [Richdale Ave] Petty Crime Alert

Dear Neighbors, Be watchful, not just for yourselves, but for your neighbors. Don't hesitate to call the police to check out anything suspicious, or to ask a suspicious person (in broad daylight) what they are doing. Despite these Scrooges, have yourselves Happy Holidays! Ruth p.s. Is there anyone interested in a bunch of us caroling in the neighborhood? It would need a good singer (not me) to lead the volunteer troop. I volunteer to sing in a bunch of other folks! -----Original Message----- From: richdale-ave-community(a)googlegroups.com [mailto:richdale-ave-community@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jeffrey M. Lipshaw Sent: Friday, December 18, 2009 5:23 AM To: Richdale Ave Community Subject: [Richdale Ave] Petty Crime Alert Michelle Lapolla at 156 reported that somebody has been stealing delivered packages off her front steps. As to one delivered yesterday (Dec. 18), I found the remains in our garbage can early this morning between our house (154) and the back fence. I'm inclined to think this occurred during the daytime because I suspect our motion detector lights would have scared the person if it was dark. Jeff Jeffrey M.
