Chiming in here as someone who's been to all these places before and skis. Bozeman, Jackson, Hayden - you're basically flying directly into the community you are recreating in. You may even be able to avoid renting a car, you certainly can avoid any lengthy drives and winter weather/travel...

While there is the historical connection to the former land use, I'll suggest that: - That name has never been widely known to the public so maintaining it doesn't have some sort of useful continuity. - More usage of names already in use elsewhere in the city invites confusion. Beacon Street...

Cambridge has the largest subway line in the city running up it's spine with multiple stops and is a huge bus hub/has an extensive bus network. This area....does not. You've drawn a comparison with the Seaport being congested without giving much attention to the reasons people use cars beyond...

I feel like the answer is that they're questionable at best routes that are politically unpalatable to cut entirely, and are of limited ridership potential + connectivity importance. There may be some merit in a minimal service for a few vulnerable populations, but they don't seem to have...

93 is elevated over active rail lines from Sullivan to the Zakim. Aside from "I think elevated highways are ugly", I don't see what's accomplished by burying it. You don't get much new land at all and the width of all the rail/other infrastructure along much of that stretch will still heavily...

I'd like a better understanding of the composition of the income restrictions on the net-new units, the language here seems fairly vague/confusing as to what that will be. Sounds like a promising plan, though.

DCR road, so that would be MSP whereas the others would be the local police.

WMATA's farebox recovery rate pre-pandemic was around 33% from what I can find, and is obviously worse now. That is lower than what most estimates of road funding come up with for the portion paid by user fees. While neither come close to "paying their way", and I don't think that should be the...

It's worth considering the broader scope of Amtrak service proposals receiving these grants, because that's not the only proposal/study: https://railroads.dot.gov/sites/fra.dot.gov/files/2023-12/FY22%20CID%20Project%20Summaries-Map-r1.pdf - Green Mountain Corridor - Another VT service -...

Versailles appears to have a population density of ~8,200/sqmi (and real-world numbers are probably more like ~16,000+/sqmi, since half the place is parkland from the famous palace, so the population is all concentrated in the other half). That may be the "suburbs" of Paris, but those are some...

Dean Rd is basically immediately adjacent to Beaconsfield (D), so that's probably an additional consideration. Also for users coming from the South, the ped tunnel at Clinton Path means Englewood Ave is even less of an additional walk to use instead than it looks at first glance, if you do want...

A few thoughts: - First, in neither case was the road "fixed". Repaired enough to mostly reopen with temporary measures while a long-term rebuilding happens for the actually permanent fix, yes. Both have had/will have many lane closures and other disruptions by the time they're truly fixed in...

Largely agreed with what you have to say here. As someone who's moved around a bit, including residing further north for a time in the past few years - It feels pretty dumb to drive right past MHT to go to BOS, but the service levels are so hollowed out for MHT at this point that even as...

On this same note, replacing the (6-8 lane) Moses Wheeler bridge next to it appears to have cost about $550m in 2023 dollars. I do struggle to understand why seemingly pretty close to identical projects in terms of scale and complexity cost 4 times as much for the rail version.

Don't think there's the land for it unless you claw back space from...somewhere? (Newbury? Ipswich? Both?). And/or cut travel lanes on the Pike. I'm also not sure how this overpass...works. Those are yellow lines overlaid on the existing layout without explaining the rest. How do vehicles get...

Alternatively......Speed + frequency. Doesn't matter how far you are geographically, what matters is how far you are in commuting time. This is of course, 10 years out of date but is a way to think about that: http://www.stonebrowndesign.com/uploads/9/7/6/9/9769402/mbta-rail-timescale.png It's...

In what way did it run faster in 2021? I've played around with TM's historical trip time data a bit and it looks like the Ashmont branch is running as fast as it did in 2021 for Northbound. Yesterday's (10/31/23) median time for Ashmont->JFK was 8min 23sec, the same date in 2021 was 8min 42sec...

Cameras on buses catch the people who are actually delaying the bus. While I agree that people using the lane illegally is a bad thing even if they're not in the way of a bus....being in the way of the bus certainly seems like the highest priority enforcement target.

It's certainly not great but there is *a* connection or two you could reasonably expect to make, especially if you're a US citizen w/Global Entry or the like. Looks like DL currently has a 10:45 to Lisbon and a 10:15 to Dublin. And via Virgin there's a 10:15 to London.

There is currently a massive freeway plopped directly over the top of the Emerald Necklace in this area, in a way that makes basically 100% of the theoretical park land completely unappealing, broken up, and virtually never used by anyone in the few spots where it is even possible to access...
