Y'know, sometimes there's actually a reason the city marks certain spots as 'No Parking'

So I am just going to come out and say it...

Given:

Route 30 is descended from a West Roxbury & Roslindale Street Railway Company electric line established in 1897...

The Dedham & West Roxbury Street Railway* operated steam dummies via Washington Street betwixt Egleston Square {School Street Carbarn/Stables} and Taft's Corner {contemporary name of Rozzy Square} during 1865 and 1866...

Motor bus service had been operated by the El, MTA and MBTA from circa 1939 until June 1971 along Durnell Avenue...

Seems to me that public transportation ought to have priority access to Corinth Street, no? Public transit, to be fair, had that much of a precedent in Roslindale...

My ideas:

No auto parking except for emergency vehicles and commercial vehicles making active deliveries on Corinth Street, the full public way as officially defined by The City of Boston.

Reactivate MBTA Route 36-2 {read as: "Route 36, second variation"} Forest Hills-Roslindale Square via Washington Street. Operate during AM and PM peak to keep the trunk clear and better accommodate local riding during periods of highest ridership.

Install and activate transit signal priority for all traffic lights governing vehicle movements throughout the entire square.

*The Town of West Roxbury granted locations within the public highways for streetcar tracks to the D&W. Shortly thereafter the property was leased to the Metropolitan Railroad Company. Thus, the Metropolitan operated the actual day-to-day service. Franchise, property and rights ultimately purchased outright by the latter. West Roxbury ultimately outlawed steam dummies; this resulted in a new pattern of service. Henceforth, the Metropolitan ran service from Forest Hills Square to Downtown Boston with horsecars.

P. S.

Tangentially related... would any UHub regulars be interested in a narrative history of transportation in Roslindale, Mattapan, West Roxbury and Hyde Park? I have a bunch of notes I have been compiling in my spare time...

Birch Street is becoming pedestrian only next year. If drivers continue their criminal behavior then turn all of Roslindale village into a pedestrian only paradise. I was there last weekend and I wouldn’t miss the asshole drivers and their honking horns. Teach these brats a lesson.

Let's not forget the name of the mobile called out in the editor's note. The mobile is called "Traffic", which is a fitting name for that intersection.

...how was this resolved?

Was BTD called to tow the illegally parked car?

I recently was witness to a similar example of stupidity.

As a Boston College train crossed Comm. Ave trying to get into the Lake Street yard, it stopped because someone had parked on the street illegally near Crazy Dough's Pizza and was blocking the train from entering the yard. They weren't on the tracks themselves, but close enough to them to prevent the train from entering.

We all sat there, both cars and train, for 2 signal cycles until the person emerged from one of the businesses, got in their car, and drove off, completely oblivious to what they caused (or at least acted like it).

to prevent this. Where those moved?

I’ve been on that bus half a dozen times in the last year when it’s gotten stuck in that same situation for 4-5 minutes.
