I sympathize with the people on Holmes Road with their bridge in disrepair. Just come on out to the Peck's Road Causeway, Hancock area, and you'll see more barrels and barriers and one-lane lights in such a small area.
It's a shame that the city has let its infrastructure get that bad but mind you we've got bike paths and one-way roads and beautification on North Street. It reminds me of Atlantic City ,one block off of North Street and it turns into a city of disrepair with rising crime!

'Good Trouble' Rallies Planned in Berkshires
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Rallies honoring the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis will be held on Thursday in several Berkshire communities.
The "Good Trouble" rallies are being held on the anniversary of the Georgian congressman's passing at age 80 in 2020. The name refers to Lewis' oft-repeated phrase to disrupt through nonviolent means.
Indivisible Mass Coalition, Mass Indivisible Groups, Massachusetts 50501, and allies will join with groups across the country to honor the legacy of Civil Rights icon.
Some 50 rallies are being planned across the state, including in Great Barrington, Pittsfield and Williamstown to protest any attacks on the Constitution by the Trump administration; the estimated $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and food benefits; the $150 billion allocated to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and the gutting of federal agencies like the National Weather Service and Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Organizers for "Good Trouble" estimate that tens of thousands of protesters will attend rallies across the commonwealth, and millions of others will attend rallies across the nation.
• Great Barrington, 4 to 5:30 p.m.: South County Resistance, in conjunction with Left Field, will hold its rally in front of Town Hall. It will feature a performance by local musician, lecturer and speaker Doug Mishkin.
• Pittsfield, 7 to 9 p.m.: Hosted by Stand Up, Berkshires, NAACP, Indivisible Berkshires, Berkshire Democratic Brigades at Park Square with Shirley Edgerton of the NAACP as speaker. It will include a performance by the Pittsfield Community Gospel Choir, a candlelit vigil (phones or battery-operated candles or tea lights only) and stroll around the park.
