https://franklinobserver.town.news/g/franklin-town-ma/n/271835/medway-finds-its-voice-mbta-resistance Such a shame. For what it's worth, I voted against sending the letter of opposition that asks for a repeal of the MBTA Communities Act. Medway is chock full of NIMBYs.

Yeah, I don't expect to see Phase II actually happen. But I didn't want to definitively say "it's not gonna happen" in an absolutist way since there's always a small chance of it happening... But it does suck that Phase II probably won't happen. Even though it would be outrageously expensive...

It really sucks that Battleship Cove station was postponed to Phase II, and who knows if Phase II is even still happening at this point. I know Battleship Cove wasn't projected to be a high-ridership station, but it still would've been a nice terminus since it's so close to Downtown Fall River...

An infill station on the Worcester Line in Millbury would be great, and it's too bad that a station there never came to fruition after it was seriously considered in the '90s. A station in Millbury would improve transit access to people living in Millbury, Shrewsbury, Grafton, Auburn, and some...

I doubt it, as I pretty regularly see crazy stories like these about the Pike. But in the past couple of months, it seems like there have been considerably more incidents on the Pike than usual. Either way, I can't wait until the East-West rail improvements between Worcester and Springfield are...

Usually, I don't like it when stations are named after roads or highways, but Kings Highway would've been a cool and somewhat unique name for a station. I wish they had never changed the name to Church Street, that's pretty much the worst name they could've chosen.

There's been a lot of destruction and drama on the Pike in the last few months. I know there's almost always insanity like this occurring on the Pike, but it's still crazy that there's so much destruction and danger in such a short period of time...

Minor nitpick: Church Street station in New Bedford should be named Tarkiln Hill instead. Not named after Tarkiln Hill Road, but named after the hill itself, which is very close to the station. It's a bit odd that the MBTA considered multiple different names but never considered calling it...

Agreed, I'm surprised that it's persisted this long. Do you know if there have ever been any proposals for replacing the intersection with a full interchange?

Yesterday afternoon, there was a large oil spill on North Elm Street in Westfield, shutting down both Exit 41 and US-202/MA-10 for hours. The oil spill caused major traffic chaos and congestion in the surrounding area, as drivers attempted to find an alternate route. The exit ramps as well as...
