Yes, it is telling - it tells that you have no business in those areas, but ridership of the Orange Line is not in question. I, however, go to and from the airport several times a year, live within a reasonable distance of the Silver Line, and see no value in taking it. I'd rather take the T...

Re: Silver Bus Line - Phase III Downtown and the Seaport.

Re: Silver Bus Line - Phase III I have not ridden the Silver Line. The fact that I haven't ridden the Silver Line is telling, especially since I don't have a car. Every time I see one go by, it is at best half full. What I also see are dazed and confused tourists at the Boylston St. station...

Re: Filene's Neither. The process should be based on valid criteria; proposals should be evaluated according to merit, not whether or not the mayor likes you. Balanced, objective reviews should be conducted according to a set timeframe. I would think that tearing down a landmark would...

Re: Filene's But that's the point - Filene's got the fast track, while every other project gets to wither and die. The consistent point is that the approval process is used both as punishment and reward by the mayor to the detriment of the city. The process is flawed, not the claim.

Re: Filene's Menino bears the blame for this. This is a city that has a stranglehold on development; projects take years just to gain approval. Yet it took this project less than a year before demolition was started. They had just enough money to rent the bulldozer. Doesn't that strike...
