    I've been hearing the "low-impact" white-noise reverse beepers all day long from my apartment...so soothing.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    I saw them remove the sign- at like 5:30 or so. I had just missed the outbound train at Science Park. Then they stopped on the track and I saw a laborer exit the train and clip the zip ties and remove the s-10 sign.

    I'm assuming that they've got a lot of repair work to do for the City and the T

    Personally, the rendering does so well: I love the yuppie driving in the bus lane

    I'm not sure an emergency shutdown is proof that it works well. I'd be especially concerned with the long distance to the street for the forced transfer.

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    They're shooting for Option 3 to get to Option 2. Given the failed attempts at getting federal dollars - and squandering all the people's tax on millionaires by giving the millionaires a tax cut - I don't see MassDOT being able to afford their current design. Yeah - those renders also have...

    General Boston Discussion

    Basically from 3 p.m. on July 3 some section of Storrow is closed to vehicles. It's been a version of this staging plan for the last few (on non-covid) years: July 3, 2023 9:00 a.m. (Or At A Time To Be Determined By The Incident Commander): 1. The right travel lane on Storrow Drive westbound...

    This section is now two lanes headed toward the 'vull and two lanes splaying out into a third / right turn pocket headed toward the 'bridge.

    Assembly Square Infill and Small Developments | Somerville

    Biggest differences: Assembly is full of North Shore suburbanites who want to "live in the city". Seaport is pretty much full of North *and* South Shore suburbanites going out on the town and then driving back with "nouveau riche" Bostonians living there. Seaport's street network was never...

    What did the people of Dover + Sherborn do to you, kid?

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    I'm a bit confused by the implication that there's a three-seat ride. The reliable Kenmore to Sullivan trip has always been a two-seat ride - wait for a GL car that takes you to North or Haymarket (why would one, tho) and then transfer to the OL. If you see something pop-up and make the trip to...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Yeah - I think this is going to be the home for the conversation about the T's budget - exactly what gets cut, funded is going to play out over these next 13 months - regardless of the why (fewer downtown workers --> fewer rides --> less revenue).

    45 Mystic Ave | Somerville

    I'm going to be extremely worried about our ability to afford standard developments - let alone beautiful ones - if our economy is going to be on a permanent two-front low-grade war for the forseeable future. Capital flows that are being siphoned off to the US military and military aid will mean...

    https://commonwealthbeacon.org/transportation/terrible-options-if-t-budget-isnt-straightened-out-watchdog-says/ $700 million dollars in service cuts needed to balance the budget book. There'll be no ferry or commuter rail after this year, I think.

    45 Mystic Ave | Somerville

    I do - if a developer cannot make money building such a stumpy cheap building - we're all very screwed when it comes to development potential.
