| MBTA: Franklin Line shuttle weekend - Jun 15-16 |
"As state regulators prepare to discuss and possibly vote on a policy to allow marijuana use in certain public social settings, Gov. Charlie Baker indicated Monday he could be open to a pilot program for things like pot cafes and lounges.
The Cannabis Control Commission is expected to have a “policy discussion” on Thursday about social consumption, or a policy that would allow adults to use marijuana in some form in a social setting. The commission initially drafted regulations to allow so-called social consumption but put the issues on the back burner after pushback last year from Baker.
“It’s not up to me, it’s up to the CCC,” Baker said Monday when asked about the policy the CCC plans to discuss Thursday. “What I’ve said many times about most of the issues associated with the rollout of recreational marijuana, is it’s really important that they, the CCC, understand what they’re doing and why they’re doing it as they make these decisions.”
"Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo and Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza rode in a self-driving car for the first time Tuesday when they inaugurated the state’s autonomous vehicle pilot program.
They circled the State House without incident and declared Rhode Island a leader in transportation technology.
Raimondo “got a little nervous” when the vehicle attendant took his hands off the controls, she said after stepping out of the shuttle on Smith Street. “But after a couple minutes it felt great. It felt safe and smooth. ... It swerved around the curb that juts out. It stopped at a red light, took a left when it needed to.”
Franklin Line: Shuttles will replace train service from Forge Park to Dedham Corp. in both directions this weekend due to East street bridge replacement.
Buses will follow the train schedule but allow for up to 20 min of additional travel time.

"Commuter rail riders will be forced to take a bus along the Franklin line from Forge Park to Readville station in Hyde Park on weekends until late May.
Due to construction starting on the track this past weekend, bus service will run on weekends until May 27. Each commuter rail station from Forge Park to Readville, 9 stops, is marked with signs that indicate where and when the next bus is scheduled to arrive. The times are intended to match up with the times already posted online, but with traffic, the schedule is unpredictable.
There is no construction on weekdays because of the impact on the commute, according to state Rep. Jeff Roy, D-Franklin.
“You can’t get near there on weekdays,” Roy said, referring to how the Forge Park and Dean Station parking lots are full by mid-morning. “That’s why they’re doing it on weekends, so they don’t interrupt the flow.”Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)
