That "path to nowhere" has been a thorn in my side for a long time, a complete waste of money buying those unique light fixtures just to see them waste away unlit and unused.

The other end of the bridge in Charlestown- is this going to connect with the walkway adjacent to the City Square Tunnel entrance/exit and if it is hasn't that been in place waiting for the bridge for several years?

Re: T construction news I don't see any actual problem for the use of the loop as its use would solve the problems presented.

Re: T construction news No, it would not be. Traffic is already bad enough, adding the required shuttle buses along the route is going to be a nightmare and cause more problems than is worth to both the city and the T. I propose a shuttle train- normal Green Line trains run through the...

Re: T construction news Actually no I would not, not after they have not closed Park, DTX, or State during any of their renovations and they have ways of keeping the station open and running during the renovation that can be used to keep the station open. I'll believe they will completely shut...

Re: T construction news Longer to build over a major daily nightmare that the closure will bring...longer will always win out there.

No real need really. Katz is Congress and Park St. a block from where I gave so if it isn't exact at least it is the same neighborhood. No need to dig through archives for an obscure answer that at least got in the ballpark.

Re: T construction news They didn't close Arlington, Copley, Kenmore, Charles/MGH/, Maverick, State, Haymarket, North Station etc. for renovations and they kept it open for the 1960s renovation and relocation.

Re: T construction news They are not going to close the station during the renovations, they will not close down one of their most important transfer stations let alone one of their busiest stations. And the bus service for Science Park has been such a problem to the point that the T is even...

Sorry! :D The Chelsean in me is making the "where" nag on and on

And commuter rail. And most likely Blue Line. Wonderland was getting high winds through most of the evening making the wires sag quite a bit- if there was service the wires would have been brought down at multiple points along the line.

That is still more than enough to wipe out service especially since they have enough trouble already keeping flooding under control, wires up, and tracks clear during normal Spring/Fall monsoons.

You said it was Chelsea but is of the backs of houses on Hawthorne Street, between Essex and Marginal?

They have huge problems with a nasty rain storm and you are complaining about them shutting it down for a hurricane?!?!?! He is going to get much less criticism for shutting down as a precaution than for keeping it up and running through the storm- lesser of two evils, like it or not. Katrina...

I know what it really is, but hear Irene enough times in a day and then hear "Come on Irene" on the radio and they melt together.
