    Reasonable Transit Pitches

    I think you've hit all the spots (and then some via Fairmount Line) For reference: Rapid Transit Half-Mile Walkshed arcgis map (No Silver Line or Above Ground Green Line) You'll see the spots on the southern Red Line and northern Orange Line where there are breaks in the polygon. Which you've...

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    Wow, I couldn't even orient myself and figure out where this picture was taken from/what I was actually looking at for a few moments there! (Still) can't wait!

    WFO/WFH Trends among aB community in 2024

    I work from home except for maybe 2x a month in the office when I need specific equipment. The office used to be in the Seaport which is walking distance to me (~1.5 mi), however, during covid they downsized the office space to a small spot in Newton Corner (which is now a train + express bus...

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    I'm more surprised at the actual color choices. It's as if someone just said, "oh we have color changing lights, lets set them to the default 'red' and the default 'green' setting". It's the most default, saturated, red and green color, like FF0000 and 00FF00 in rgb hex codes. The same thing...

    Brookline Infill and Small Developments

    I assume they're talking about the consensus plan? SUPPORTING MAIN STREET: 2023 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING MULTI-FAMILY ZONING FOR MBTA COMMUNITIES There's a bunch of links there as well as the Town Meeting Files I haven't found a map yet of what the plan covers entirely (it makes reference to...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    I didn't see this posted: MBTA has released their preliminary November service changes for work on the Red/Orange lines. Looks like fixes/speed restriction work for the Red between JFK/UMass and Park Street Stations (Nov 14 @ 8:45p - Nov 16, weekend of Nov 18-19) and Alewife and Kendall/MIT...

    Eliminate the River Roads?

    I also like this whole thing. Makes me smile just thinking about it all. About some traffic concerns towards downtown: Would removing Storrow Dr (eastbound) in the Back Bay to Beacon Hill (Longfellow Bridge) area necessitate using/modifying Back St at all? I assume it's just used for Back...

    Other People's Rail: Amtrak, commuter rail, rapid transit news & views outside New England

    Yeah but if I’m not mistaken the FTA assumed control of WMATA in 2015 or so when they were having a horrible time. I’m not saying it’s equivalent but if you recognize the FTA coming in this year and telling the MBTA to get their act together as—we have some years to get to WMATA 2023 status...

    Nighttime shot from 5/23 when the Celtics were playing in Miami. Green logo, white ribs. I guess the ribs don't change color?

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    I never got a picture because I don’t have a totally unobstructed view from my apt but one night this winter the “STATE STREET” branding was being tested and was able to go through a rainbow of colors. One test had each letter a different color. I wonder if the horizontal ribs also are...

    Just walked down Cambridge street in Beacon Hill and noticed the EB lane from city hall has a new bike lane. I took a few pictures but the link below has some more information. https://mass.streetsblog.org/2022/10/21/eyes-on-the-street-downtown-bostons-new-cambridge-street-protected-bike-lane/

    Just got raised yesterday to take in effect in 2024. They vote to give the people who serve in the next term a raise (same for the Mayor who gets a raise in 2026)
