Throw in a stop to get people to Waterville Valley and shuttles to Loon, Cannon, and Bretton Woods, and we're on to something.

I'll add: 4) $$$ + NH == Massive Friction

This was my thought as well. If the goal is to save lives, it seems like $100M could save a lot more lives used in any number of other ways. It boils down to 20-25 incidents out of 640 million rides, and only a fraction of those result in death.

This is my daily commute, and it doesn't feel nearly as dire to me as the article makes it sound. It is annoying to have to go around the construction when I could just follow Congress street all the way to my office, but the only people dodging cars are those that insist on crossing mid-block...

Totally agree. Such stadiums should be in less dense regions due to their size and need to support such things as tailgating. There definitely should be good transit options, too, though.

What is the rational for being against this? Do 2 lane roads in dense urban areas, complete with cars parking and making turns, really outperform single-lane travel roads with appropriate turn lanes? Do businesses really get more customers when it's difficult for pedestrians to safely cross...

Obviously, but then that begs the question of why trains would stop at location where no one is getting on or off. According to the T, this will "improve the passenger experience" though I'm not sure how no longer having to be visible on the platform or having to inform the conductor of your...

What's the practical impact of changing a stop from a flag stop to a full time stop?

I'll chime in as a former resident of multiple addresses in Beacon Hill and the West End. First, your photos highlight just how unused that space is (and just how much it hates people, especially those with mobility impairments). I challenge you to find any other large, centralized space in...

I like the meandering sidewalk that just deadends into the harbor.

I wish I still lived in the area, because I'd advocate for the opposite. Harrison Gray Otis House is already overwhelmed by Cambridge street, and always felt odd to me because of the way it feels like it stands alone, vs. being nestled into a neighborhood like the old mansions on Mt. Vernon...

I'm still upset at the loss of the Seaport Bar & Grille.

Honestly, $4M isn't huge in the scale of MA corruption, and if that's the price to pay for CR not being a dumpster fire, maybe that's ok. :unsure:

I do this commute twice a week, and I either walk, do the double transfer dance, or take the ferry. On average, when including average waits, they're all pretty comparable in terms of time. My observations are: Speed - Despite its issues, the T squeaks out a victory here, though the...

While it's tremendously unlikely to ever happen, the MBTA has a right to cancel the lease with a 2 year notice. I can't see any reason why they would do so against the wishes of the town and when better options likely exist.

The outline of the Silver Line route in these documents is amazing. It looks like it was actually crayoned in by a drunk person. I vote that WHATEVER transportation option is chosen, that it makes use of the stupid turnpike ramp, regardless of how little sense it makes, just to annoy whomever...

I'm all for anything that'll make more use of the outrageously huge Courthouse station. Instead of expanding South Station into the Post Office space for East West Rail, let's just have it all terminate at Courthouse station.

I'm not surprised that Miami transportation quality might be better. They're running at 1/4 the budget of the MBTA to move about 1/4 as many people with far less and far newer infrastructure. A few minutes on The Google shows that T's debt service alone is almost equivalent to the entire...

Thank you!

To be honest, I've never paid much attention to the ceiling, but it is already a cavern with the light blockage from the construction.
