Solo, SL to Encore?

Guess there's a proposal to reactivate the Silver Line Way ramp for the Silver Line, but TransitMatters thinks it's weak. https://commonwealthmagazine.org/opinion/massdots-ramp-proposal-is-a-poor-excuse-for-a-plan/ Anyone know how soon this would go into effect?

I had an idea this morning to mitigate SL3, 112, and 77 bridge issues. Simply put, make it so that only one drawbridge can be up at a time. When the Chelsea St bridge is up, buses take the other bridge. Thoughts?

Let's say hypothetically there was to be dedicated bus lanes from SLW to Eastern Ave. Is it possible based on the infrastructure that exists today?

What would the route be for SL3 to Wellington?

Sooooo. Any word on 1) Introduction of electric buses 2) Accurate countdown timers 3) Charliecar kiosks at all SL3 stops? Also I can't wait for the Lounge at Winisimmit. Wish it was in bldup.

What about an aerial gondola from Chelsea to the Seaport? /s

Anyone go to the waterfront meeting? How was it?

Anyone know when the new Innes Apartments proposal is expected? I read it was coming in March...and it's almost June. Haha.

It'll never happen but a Massport Eastern Ave - Airport loop could solve for this as well. A Chelsea - Airport loop would also help greatly.

Very cool. Are there details on what those projects are? I wish bldup was more up to date :(

How "long" do you think it will be before it makes sense again? Does the SL3 change that outlook? What about Amazon?

As a developer, which areas of Chelsea are most desirable/promising, and which are least?

Do you mind disclosing the location you wanted to build on, or the T stop in question?

I think the city could just throw up some cheap facades that mimic apartment building facades. Probably wouldn't be very expensive.
