Fake protests to cause real traffic issues around Post Office Square

Boston Police alert us that the people filming at the fake Occupy encampment in Post Office Square Park will be staging fake protests around the park Saturday and Sunday.

Boston Police will be on scene during the filming. Traffic detours will be in place, affecting traffic in the immediate area. Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible.

Ed. note: Wouldn't it be awesome if actual veterans of Occupy Boston occupied the fake Occupy Boston?

They even have their own organizations like Livable Streets Alliance feeding at the taxpayer trough.

The livable streets changes made to the intersection of Vassar Street and Mass Ave. in Cambridge have made it #7 in the state's most dangerous intersections! Thanks for that dangerous waste of money!

Have a citation for that? I'm curious where the #7 stat comes from.

First thing that Google provides puts it at #66.

For the 2009-2011 period there were 41 crashes. For the 2004-2006 period, there were 41 crashes. Doesn't go any earlier than that.

Wasn't the construction around 2006 or so?

Not much changed right there. It's still 4 general lanes on Mass Ave, though they added bike lanes and took out parking on the southbound side. The left turn lanes on Vassar might be new, and certainly are helpful.

As a bicyclist, I consider the sidewalk cycle tracks on Vassar to be a hideous abomination. But they end before the Mass Ave intersection.
