this boo-hoo mentality from drivers like yourself who believe that giving up 20 feet of parking means that "people who ride a bike are more important than everyone else."

Sally, I'm a walker not a driver. Thanks for playing though!

And I honestly can't understand how a "walker" (aren't we all?) is negatively impacted by a Hubway station or why you'd think that cyclists are somehow impinging on your rights in any way.

You do realize that adding a single Hubway station that takes up maybe two parking spaces, leaving dozens of other parking spaces nearby, does not mean that "people who ride a bike are more important than everyone else", right?
If you look at the amount of car parking compared to the amount of bike parking in the area, you will find that if anything, people who drive a car are considered to be more important than everyone else.

Quit your whining. The world doesn't revolve around you. Glad you aren't related to or a friend to someone who is handicap and needs that parking space in front of the post office. Spoiled brats!

If not, chances are they would never be available anyway.

Should consider it lucky to be able to park on Centre or South streets in Jamaica Plain at all right?
If the MBTA hadn't gone back on their promise for real train service to Arborway there would still be trolley tracks and no parking along the entirety of Centre and South street where the trolley would be street running. Think how angry that would make all these parking hogs... why they might have to take public transit or ride a bike with the rest of us plebians.

Kat , when there were trolleys running , there was parking on Centre and South streets. As well as S Huntington ave , especially in front of Triple D's.
Does the city follow its own rules?

Signs must be posted to notify the public about all kinds of things -- zoning hearings, removal of street trees, etc.
Did the city post anything at the future Hubway locations?
