The neighborhood character bit is sending me on this one. I'm sorry, the neighborhood character of...the south shore plaza?? How can you "we're not against development just THIS development" this. Like, if not here, where!?

South Shore Plaza apartments are one step closer to happening. What's next

https://bostonmpo.org/skyline-trail-study MPO Study on improvements for the skyline trail crossing of Rt. 28 in Quincy. Graphic summarizing the improvements below:

Yeah in my experience with one such time based intersection in Braintree, if it's allowed some of the time people will treat it like it's allowed all of the time.

Also an active distance runner, and you're correct. Yes, asphalt is absolutely preferable to concrete, but the rubberized sidewalk is definitely even better!

All great policy suggestions, and as far as I'm aware it is legal to charge a different for out-of-state registrations as long as you're not ONLY charging out-of-state registrations. Importantly this also helps generate some revenue, since all that auto infrastructure comes with a heavy bill...

I do hate that park as well, and it's perpetually empty. Honestly, I don't see why they can't spare the Planet Fitness, just take the dermatologist and use that plus the overflow parking lot of the historical society. How big of a building are they thinking or (more likely) how much surface...

Several times, yes. If you're done with the ad-hominin I'd be interested in why you think I'm incorrect. The population of Newport has dramatically shrunk. The percentage of surface area taken away from the use of people dedicated to the movement and storage of vehicles has dramatically...

But WHY does it feel overcrowded and changed in character? Is it actually the number of people? Its population is about 50% of its peak. It's not like Newport wasn't a tourist destination in the 1960s. What's changed is how much of the surface area has been given over to parking and wide roads...

This is the type of stuff I would often hear when I worked in southeast CT and what it always seems to really be about is parking and traffic, not people.

28:48 to get from QA to Park Street this morning. Less than an hour from door to desk. Nature is healing.

The Acapulco's site has to be one of the best pieces of commercial real estate in the city, I have no idea what they're thinking on this one.

100% agreed, and I said almost exactly the same thing to the person who posted this in the r/mbta reddit with a much more "f them" attitude. I just found the implication that Arlington doesn't have better transit because of the MBTA to be humorous. I mean, I have no doubt it CAN. Given the...

"Deserves" is an interesting word from a town that is responsible for them not already having it, but I'm glad that it does seem the attitudes are changing towards better transit.

If we have moon trains before NSRL so help me God

Perhaps the Department of Conservation and Recreation shouldn't be responsible for major multimodal transportation corridors.

This tracks. From what I understand the hi-rail derailments cause between a half-hour to an hour of delay each, so even if they're happening frequently I couldn't imagine it was going to be more than a day or two of extra delay. Glad they can fit it in within the deadline, I hate the bike ride...

No extension has been approved at this time and I do not know how much is being asked for. I do know they have asked for an extension. EDIT: If there is one it will be announced tomorrow at the board meeting. Reason primarily being almost daily derailments of the hi-rail vehicles causing...

Hearing through the grapevine to expect an extension of the braintree branch shutdown.
