    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    Didn't realize that's what happened, so thanks for the correction. Fair use quotes are fine, but copying a full article is not OK in any case, and particularly if the content is behind a paywall.

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    Fair use quotes are fine and helpful, along with a link to the full article. Stick n move provided just that, which I appreciate. It encouraged me to click the link and read the full article.

    Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail (South Coast Rail)

    Project Manager Jean Fox presented an update on status during the Cape Cod Chapter, NRHS banquet last June. I noted her presentation then did not include a planned opening date, so I asked during the Q&A. She said it was hoped to be late "this year" (2023), but it was dependent on PTC testing...

    Cape Cod Rail, Bridges and Highways

    The state did not "create" the canal. It was built by private enterprise and opened in 1914. The canal was purchased in 1928 by the federal government and greatly widened in the 1930s. With the 1928 purchase, the federal government assumed the rights and obligations to operate and maintain...

    Cape Cod Rail, Bridges and Highways

    OpenCape is building out a fiber network on the Cape. I don't know how far they have gotten. I do know a few years ago they strung fiber across the canal via the railroad lift bridge.

    Cape Cod Rail, Bridges and Highways

    The terrain along much of the canal is high on both sides, notably around the Sagamore Bridge extending most of the way toward the Bourne Bridge. The result is long approach tunnels would be needed for the canal crossing. Add to that the highway interchanges close to the canal that would be...

    Cape Cod Rail, Bridges and Highways

    Yeah, I'd like to see specific citations as well. I grew up by the Cape (many years ago) and follow the news there. What specific meetings were held "about what's going to happen when all the Boomers are dead"? I haven't read about any. The suggestion the Cape's year-round population is...

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    My thoughts: I don't have a strong feeling on whether the CapeFlyer is shown in purple or another color to distinguish it from year-round commuter rail -- just as long as it's finally shown on the MBTA system map. It's long past time. The CapeFlyer service east of Middleborough should be...

    Westbound I-195 bridge in Providence needs to be demolished, and quickly.

    It's the I-195 bridge.

    And apparently some people think only those over age 60 live on the Cape. :ROFLMAO:

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Yes. See the recent boston.com story at https://www.boston.com/food/food-news/2024/01/09/south-station-au-bon-pain-closes/ The location at Boston Children's Hospital also recently closed, and at Brigham and Women's a bit earlier.

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    Looks good, though it "Buzzards Bay," not "Buzzard's Bay." :)

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    Nice map, though it should include the seasonal CapeFLYER service (perhaps as an arrow from just north of the planned Middleborough station).

    Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail (South Coast Rail)

    And Wareham and Bourne's hope of seeing a commuter rail extension to Buzzards Bay.
