A year later she is still paying off the cost.Īt yoga studios around the country, teacher training is a popular way for instructors to supplement income from one-off classes and for students to advance in skill level - to deepen one’s practice, in yogi parlance. Ridley asked the studio about job opportunities to make money from her training. Ridley trained, was less straightforward than she anticipated: After paying $1,500 for a 200-hour training program, spread out over eight weeks, she was asked to complete an additional $500 “extensions” training, which was never initially mentioned. Ridley said.īut becoming a teacher at the CorePower Yoga studio in Minneapolis, where Ms. “It was like they saw something special in me,” Ms. We also asked that the non-conforming signage (at left) on the corner of New St and Concord Ave be removed.Kalli Ridley had just finished yoga class and was feeling calm when her favorite instructor approached her with a smile and told her she would make a great teacher. He also offered to lease some parking to the businesses concerned by loss of street parking. Donald Adamian, who owns the fireplace store opposite Basha cafe, offered to move his fence back to create room for street trees. There is no room for street trees in the narrower commercial section, but if those parcels are redeveloped that could change.
There will street trees behind the sidewalk in front of the new residential buildings and the utility wires will be buried on that stretch only. We will continue to press for more safety substantial improvements to this very congested lot. The mall owner has reportedly assured the city manager that he will make some safety improvements in the parking lot this summer, minimally to create a safe path from the end of New St to the back of the mall building to Core Power yoga center. We asked for new signs to slow traffic entering/exiting Fresh Pond Mall. There will be raised crosswalks directly in front of the park entrance and other (level) crosswalks mid-block where the park starts by Evolve fitness center and by the mall entrance. The city will add bump outs to significantly narrow the intersection of Bay State Rd and New St so that the crossing between the Sozio store and Children’s Village daycare is much safer than currently. The city would have to negotiate with the state DCR to have the crosswalk raised on the other side (the concern is that it would slow cars exiting the rotary onto Bay State Road or New St and could impede flow through the rotary - slowing these cars would be a good thing from the standpoint of pedestrians, however). One side of the V will have a raised crossing (the lane where cars exit New Street to turn right onto Concord). The new design will create separate bike and pedestrian crossings along Concord Avenue where New St and Bay State Road converge in the V at the rotary. The priority is to make street safer for all modes and it is note wide enough to accommodate street parking. Business owners expressed concern with loss of parking, and the lack of on-street parking for visitors to the residential buildings was noted. There will be no on-street parking, eliminating risk of cyclists being doored.
Elsewhere they will be marked with the bike symbol and a white line to visually separate cars from bikes. They will be painted green at “high conflict” intersections at either end of the street. The sidewalk along the park will be moved so that it is set back behind the line of existing trees, closer to the park itself.īike lanes will be 6′ in the wider section and 5′ in the narrower section. (The sidewalks could be widened and trees planted if/when the commercial parcels are redeveloped). There will be 8′ sidewalks in the wider section beside the park opposite the residential buildings and 5′ sidewalks in the narrower section, which is currently commercial. (Yeah!)Ĭar lanes will be 10′ wide for the length of the street (this will slow traffic somewhat). New Street has two different right of ways - it is 40′ wide on the section from Bay State Road down to where Danehy Park begins (at the end of the Evolve Fitness parking lot) and 50′ wide alongside the park down to the mall entrance.The preferred plans (Option 2) will provide bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides for the entire length of the street.
