• 'Camberville' should mean better intercity connections - Cambridge (csindie.com) — If you live in Magoun, Ball Square, or Winter Hill, you know how awkward it can be to reach Harvard Square without driving. A Somerville resident argues for a small shuttle-style connector to better link Somerville and Cambridge, highlighting how improved intercity transit could boost local businesses, reduce car trips, and make it easier for neighbors to enjoy each other's restaurants and arts venues.
