I agree with you about the isolation being a benefit; that's one of the reasons I thought it was the best location. @Matthew

It has the bike trail to the east, north ave, and a few businesses to the south, and the river to the west. you have to go several hundred feet from the site before you get to the closest residence. Also the fact that cambridge ave doesn't line up straight at north ave means that it doesn't work very well as a through street.

Of course with any project I'm sure there are still some opposed but generally I think people understand the project now and I think most everyone will be happy if they can put that stop light put in. Especially if it doesn't change the traffic pattern, as planned. @Adam I was very surprised that no Cambridge residents were there myself.

I remember one showed up at the first Hometown meeting and asked a question about traffic which Mandel didn't have a person on hand to answer, but encouraged the man to come to the traffic meeting.
