    Grounding the McGrath

    There are actually a few separated bike paths going in here. I noticed the one paralleling Ten Hills Rd a few months ago. This is the project: https://www.mass.gov/doc/massdot-hearing-presentation-somerville-030123/download I'm looking forward to the changes, getting to Assembly with my kids is...

    SAV-MOR Site Lab Building | 15 McGrath Highway | Somerville

    I've been referring to it as Lake Sav-More for a while now. Sav-More Liquors Memorial Swimming Pool is pretty good, too.

    Biking in Boston

    Definitely opened, I've ridden it a few times with my kids, most recently from Blessed of the Bay, through Medford Sq, along the mystic paths, to the Minute Man and back home on the Somerville community path.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Recently (past few months), trains between East Somerville and the bridge go extremely slow. I noticed a S10 sign on the outbound track while riding into the city today. Why isn't this marked on the slow zone tracker?

    Biking in Boston

    Biking in Boston

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I was watching a Type 9 go by while riding on the path this morning and I noticed that there is a little mirror that extends when the doors open. They've already got a mirror that pops out when the doors open, what is stopping the MBTA from adding a stop sign?

    Somerville High School Renovation & Expansion | 81 Highland Ave | Somerville

    The path between School and Medford was open today. Plants-to-be-planted were left blocking one half of the path for like 50ft, so i'm not sure it's open-open, but it certainly was nice to not have to detour down school and back up medford, again.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    I imagine since they have the old car / new car toggle, it was zero cost to show the blue line car locations, too

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    This shutdown that just ended was supposed to end the slow zones on the viaduct, right? Did they actually complete the work?

    my wife and i have been arguing about what the happy birthday message was, me arguing KYLA and her thinking i'm crazy because it says ANNA. I just noticed in these pictures that they're both there!

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I poached the section between Central and Lowell with my kids and some elderly women last week and I was super surprised at how bad concrete section looked. Not surprised they have a team in there fixing it up now.
