Everyday when I go walking, I walk around them and it just blows my mind how most RI'ers behave. People do live in that area. What if someone was wheelchair bound? Where is parking control for this??

Does anyone know if that is where 195 dirt is going? On Providence River charts, there is an area marked down by Fields Point as future fill. Does anyone know if that is where 195 dirt is going?

I'm wondering why the extra dirt isn't going right to its final destination, or is this Rhode Island 'makework' happening right before our eyes? "Hey, we need to dig this up... Put all the dirt over there" (one month later) "Hey we need to disassemble this road, but we put three hundred tons of dirt on it... Lets move the dirt... Over there!" (a month after that) "Hey, we just got some more stimulus money... Lets move that dirt again." (2012...) "Eyewitness News reports live from the scene of dead mobsters being exhumed from leftover dirt from the construction of the I-Way. An investigation is under way."

It just seems, now that it is closed, we should let it rest until it comes down. Yeah, I thought about the fact that trucks rolled over it for decades.
