omg i didnt think i would generate this many responses ty everyone my (current) plan is to make the NSRL start going deeper somewhere after central station, then go underneath the rapid transit of north station, under the river and then come back up on the other side. im not sure if the portals...

Putting here tentatively even though I think it's somewhat viable . . .. So the NSRL isn't getting built for a long while, we need electrification first and all that, So maybe (hopefully) in a better future where highways are less prioritized, the central artery can have every on and off ramp...

i think that the capacity limits of light rail really holds back the development potential of the communities it connects. Im not advocating for turning the B branch into manhattan or anything like that but its clear that future urban growth needs to be polycentral to be sustainable. basically i...

I have been lurking for along time reading the thread, and granted ive only read up to page 66 but i havent seen any mention of converting the green line trunk into heavy rail? the only huge obstacle i see is boylston so i was curious why its not been brought up all the other stuff is awesome i...
