I forgot to ask this when I posted the blog post, but Ari also proposed a Red Line infill near Kendall. Ignoring the potential transit connections under/on the GJ, would there still be utility for a station near Portland/Albany Street in relieving station congestion or boarding/alighting times...

My crazy highway pitch is to seize the Central Artery Tunnel and use it for North-South Rail Link tracks instead. Pros: - Stations closer to surface - Easier to build Central Station and connect to Blue Line - Save on rail service disruptions due to tunnel construction and staging - Reduced...

Ari's got as post about tunnels in Boston on his blog. He lists out the Red-Blue Connector, Green Line to Seaport, a Grand Junction tunnel, a Dudley to Grove Hall Tunnel, and an eastern tunnel for NSRL as top priority tunnels. For the Dudley to Grove Hall tunnel, it is probably necessary to...
