Why would a market need a police detail?
They should have gone ahead without the police detail for a year, and then studied whether this caused any major traffic problems. I bet that it wouldn't.
Atlantic Avenue
Because they're taking up part of the street to unload trucks, it seems.
Yes, but is that a real problem?
I still think the best way to determine whether it causes a problem is to just try it for one year and see. No police detail, no flagman, for a whole year. The benefits of a public market far outweigh any traffic issues.
The police union needs to get out of the extortion business.

This is not, as the Globe wrote, an issue of unneeded details, it is a question of whether the logistics of the Greenway will create traffic and parking problems along this narrow strip as people try to bring programming and activation to the parcels as the Boston Public Market folks have.
