I suppose I just think of LA as being so large but that is interesting. Geographically large but ridership wise not so much. LA metro doesn't include the commuter rail but MBTA does. A bit apples to oranges I suppose.

LA Metro has issued and does issue special edition and commemorative cards regularly. A much larger agency of course.

Good info. I didn't think through it like that in terms of being potentially lower risk for the T.

This has been hard for me to follow. It is clear that the T didn't want (or at least didn't see political and financial support) to go it alone on electrification so accepted this proposal. The idea seems to be that by choosing this hybrid BEMU that also in motion charges/uses OCS to power when...

I haven't been able to stop by recently. Is the underpass open yet? Are busses using the new shelter yet?

I won't dox myself completely but say that the building I live in made it into one of your photos ;) It is a fantastic neighborhood and my kids walk to school and we can walk and bike past neighbors and shops that we have come to know well. Love it.

If you want to weigh in on this issue the Cambridge City Council meeting on Monday April 29th will be taking comment and voting on the policy order that would delay that project and others. If you want to get involved, Cambridge Bicycle Safety is organizing people to speak. You can get involved...

Happy to see it. Also, I thought we had learned our lesson from Vassar St that there needs to be some buffer between the cycle track and the walking are to reduce conflicts.

Some highlights from the December 14th meeting... PDF of the Presentation Three main goals/questions to answer: How can we expand community and city services in Central Square? How can we increase housing? How can we maintain flexibility, meet infrastructure needs, and increase open space...

Central Square City Lots Study I had missed this until recently but the city is looking at development opportunities on some city-owned parcels around Central Square. https://www.cambridgema.gov/Departments/communitydevelopment/centralsquarelots There was an online community meeting last night...

Before they put up that fencing to work on the restaurant the night time lighting made it look quite inviting when I was over there in December.

I believe so, here is a map I put together from MassDOT documents of the Pike Parcels. I am sure there are errors but it matches up generally with the BU master plan map.

Here is a previous answer, at least the start of one...
