When was the last time you saw Providence police actually setting up and doing traffic stops in areas we all KNOW people drive like asshats?

Westminster, Manton, Harris aves just to name a few on the West side... They could just post up and stop it; the amount of tickets they could write would pay their salaries

I've lived across the country. The majority of people do not take the responsibility of driving a 2 ton vehicle seriously. Most drivers suck, just the density of PVD and other cities with poor infrastructure accentuate that issue (read, EVERY New England city).

Grid based cities can be better, but NYC is a nightmare too. Until cell phones are eliminated from the driving equation, and major penalties are issued to the worst offenders (think you'd drive like a total ass clown if your car got impounded for it?) We'll just have to live with it

Reply to Well c’mon, what does everyone think of the new Trader Joe’s? by AgedParmy

Went on Saturday to pick up a couple things. It was beyond busy, and people just STOP in the middle of the aisle with no spatial awareness or concern for other people. It was like construction on 95 every aisle, a complete clusterfuck.

After unsuccessfully trying to find what I was looking for due to shelves that looked like communist era Soviet times (picked clean) I left, marveled at how unaware people are of their surroundings.

TL/DR don't go on a Saturday 😂

Sounds like they were lucky to NOT have begun construction in 2019... I don't know why people get so upset; are you being materially damaged by the skyline of Wickendon St. Missing a building? Or just need to gripe about something?

It's not like it's dragging property values down. Housing is outrageously expensive on the East Side. Enjoy the extra parking spots available, then support a small business when it opens.
