I fly between Omaha and Boston frequently (at least I used to), and it appears Delta added direct flights between Boston and Omaha. I have never been more excited for a flight. Hopefully this is real. This cuts travel time from 7+ hrs to 3.5 hrs. Bonus - get to avoid O'Hare.
Wow... the wealth of knowledge and understanding of transit network on this site is awesome (thank you @Riverside and @Brattle Loop and all the other comments). I truly enjoy it. To further clarify why I posted my crazy transit pitch:
My idea for this project is not to add light rail just to...
Thanks for the info regarding the conditions of the existing tunnels/track at Copley Junction. I do not have the ridership data for people getting on/off from Brigham Circle to Heath St., but the stops between Heath St. and Brigham could be eliminated. E route would then terminate at Mattapan...
EDIT: Uploaded Correct Map
After review of comments and additional thought, I revised portions of the branch lines.
ZE – Mattapan to Park St – Connect with E-branch at Huntington Ave/Tremont intersection (Brigham Circle).
Changes – remove Heath St. Provides one-seat ride to downtown. Allows...
The main drive behind adding LRT - Increase capacity and through the use of signal prioritization, improve transit times along those corridors. From experience (during morning/evening rush hours) of seeing full buses (some times back to back) skipping stops; I have been on a #28 bus that pick-up...
Thank you for the feedback.
I figure this concept would require major changes to traffic patterns and on-street parking. Some areas would have center running track as on Huntington Ave (similar to around Northeastern area) and some would be more integrated with traffic as on Huntington Ave...
Long time lurker, seldom poster. Decided to dive into Crazy Transit Pitch. I always felt there should be better Rapid Transit in the Dorchester Area. I lived on Blue Hill Ave (for too long), few blocks south of Talbot Ave; taking the 28 or 29 or walking up to Talbot to get the 22 as another...
I like this project. Building looks cool. I wonder what the timeline for this to get built. Based on the location of this project, I assume some of the other developments around this project would have to get going, to entice prospective renters and buyers.
Is there a way moderators can pin the renders or project plans (which ever is available) for a project thread? I know for some of the longer threads at some point it is hard to find the latest renders, sketches or plans. It would be nice if there was a way to pin the renders so they are always...
One of the interesting parts of the proposal is the reduction of buses that will transfer at Ruggles; with the elimination of Bus 44 and 45, and Bus 22 and 28 no longer terminating at Ruggles. Under the proposal 22 and 28 will have an OL transfer at Roxbury Crossing. I do not think Tremont St...
