MBTA Construction Projects

The Green Line Extension already happened, so why is it programmed in this document? The document describes the projects as: "Extension of the northern end of the Green Line from Lechmere to Union Square in Somerville and College Avenue in Medford."

Financing of the project spread out the bills across many CIP fiscal years, including deferred money. That's typical for most large-cost projects.

For example, I lost count of how many "Commuter Rail bi-level" line items are in the document. A lot of them are for vehicles long since delivered, even when it doesn't say "closeout".

Per page 62, the 27-31 CIP acknowledges the $2.118 billion price tag of the Green Line Extension, but only shows $115.1 million as programmed in the 27-31 timeframe. It's important to note that a CIP is a cash flow document, so the timeframe of expenditure on a project may not necessarily align exactly with its construction or completion timeframe.

Makes sense. I noticed today that the art/prints in the outbound underground passage had been unceremoniously removed, making it feel even bleaker than it was before. Great news!

I'm clueless. Are they moving the head houses around the corner? Would definitely be good to get some space for real ped and bike infra on Mass Ave!

Hate the be the bearer of bad news but no, if anything there will be even less space on Mass Ave. There will be new emergency egress stairs on Huntington and new stairs plus elevators on Mass Ave.

I also think they are holding off on the public engagement right now but last I heard was a 3 year construction schedule with the station being closed through 2029.
 
Not sure if it was related to the red line signals project being completed, but the T finally removed the plywood partial enclosure around the Savin Hill main stairs to the platform. The one they constructed nearly 3 years ago for a stair repair that was addressed within a month then left in place for 2 years with just a hose, barrel, and some bags of concrete stored behind it, yet open on the other side for us all to see as we went down the stairs.
