Chestnut Hill Square summary thought

I went to a community presentation on Chestnut Hill Square last night. While I don't agree with the solution, it is admirable the way the developer and traffic engineer are trying to solve traffic flow problems from Parker Street to Hammond Street. But, they are not doing enough -- really anything -- to reduce car use in the first place.

Before they make it easier to travel by car, they should do everything possible to make it easier not to travel by car.

What is the solution proposed? Are they still planning to put a Whole Foods there?

Can the D line tracks be moved south of Hammond Pond and closer to the malls on Route 9?
