I'd call it a sidewalk, not a bike path, where it's right next to Shore Drive. There's no reason to ride a bike on it once the raised crosswalk is open.

I wasn't suggesting that the railroad project stretch out to accommodate weekend service. I was just questioning the lack of substitute bus service.

This shutdown goes through Thanksgiving, well into the Brandeis fall term. Concord tourism (including Walden Pond to some extent) will suffer from this. The 553 doesn't strike me as being a useful bus on Saturdays, since it doesn't connect to any other T service. (It ends in Newton Corner.)

I'm surprised that the T can get away without any substitute bus service. This total shutdown is going to strand a lot of people.

Doesn't all traffic coming out of the office park turn right? If so, why is any police detail needed?

I don't bike to downtown Boston (from Davis Square) daily, but I do it fairly routinely. The Longfellow Bridge is actually quite pleasant for cycling these days, with only one lane of car traffic eastbound and no car traffic at all westbound.

I think logistics and licensing (from the cable company) took a little longer than expected in Cambridge. Boston City Hall Plaza had the US-Belgium and US-Germany games.

University Park Common, near Central Square in Cambridge, will be an outdoor viewing area for the last four World Cup games, starting this afternoon.

The shoulder of that part of 16 is much wider than any typical bike lane, and could simply be officially marked as a bike lane. The eastbound section of 16, on the other side of 93, has a similarly wide shoulder that could be marked for bikes as well. This wouldn't actually require any...

Whether I vote for the repeal or not is probably going to depend on what sort of deal Wynn Everett makes with Somerville, and whether Somerville gets enough out of that deal.

Re: Barry's Corner Commons and renaming Barry's Corner I have lost track -- what is supposed to replace the now-vacant Charlesview, and when will it be demolished? (Or will it be reused as dormitory space?)

what street is the Orange Leaf photo from? that's a pretty fancy exterior for McDonald's next door.

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium Central Falls? That's a tiny and densely built little city -- where is there room in it to put a stadium?

Re: Public Food Market I don't think that's the issue here. Rather, that liquidation produce and local-farmer produce each be properly labeled and differentiated from each other, if both are being sold on the same block.

That's not "missed opportunity". That's "hasn't happened yet, and won't until the Green Line stations open."
