I just realized this afternoon while walking by that this is the property! I'm glad that we're replacing this auto use with some nicer-looking residential. But, I worry about this being a bit forboding as a pedestrian. A couple of the other newer builds on Prospect really try hard hard to...

Didn't Cambridge pass something about 20-25 stories in squares like Porter? I don't know where that would be feasible - Maybe Lesley's parking lot is the only property big enough?

I hope they find a way to do some thing between Beacon Street (2018) with the majorly rough moon-like surface and Tremont Street (2023?) with the complete resurface and islands.

A couple of more wild + crazy pitches would be at the intersections are the most annoying to drive thru and also really awkward when you walk or bike through them because of all the time spent waiting for the left turns on the higher priority through route. Rindge Avenue - Push north-to-west...

A lot of left turns are already restricted - I'd be interested in finding ways of making more of the existing left turns to become indirect/semi-direct turns instead. Even if they are, as others rightly point out, put a bit more traffic on semi or residential streets.

What's the timeline on the Boylston St lane? I thought it was one of the 2023 mayoral commitments. The one major missing link is southbound from Back Bay to South End: Exeter-Stuart-Dartmouth: fine on Exetero, Exeter-Stuart movement is not good at all then Dartmouth it self is no good...

This is more of a 'crazy arterial' pitch rather than a crazy highway pitch. Could we just ban left turns along most of Mass Ave? I was thinking about my last visit to Europe and I recalled seeing a lot of intersections where the signals are simple because they don't allow left turns and require...

This sounds similar to how Uber and Lyft process their payments as aggregated single payments for the course of a day.

I think the answer here is that the Track Improvement Program isn't only about slow zones, they're trying to get all the parts of the track up to a better state of repair. So, Items 1 and 2 would still remain because there's still much needed work for sleepers, ballast tamping, rail replacements...

I think it's hilarious that the outline of the 91 is not the route it has run for at least 4 years now. I do wonder, if they did this analysis back when the 92 ran to Assembly if it would be even higher on the list.

If we're going crazy rather than god-level - seems like an idea would be to go full Tokyo and operate some (or all?) of the old colony lines as through-running into the subway.

Even if not Cambridge, I've met a number of health care folks working at MGH who live on the Braintree branch because the commute works for them. Or, really, what I think would be in the realm of the awkward politics is that Quincy, Braintree (and nearby communities) leggies are going to see...

I've found myself just using side streets from NEU all the way through Fenway and over to Kenmore-BU. Most main streets aren't direct connections. In those trips the only one for me that would benefit from a protected bike lane is on Beacon b/w Kenmore and Audubon Circle. Too bad all fo the...

I think this speaks a bit to the issue with the PCCs seemingly ending up in smashes seemingly often.

it seems like some more senior operators appreciate the 'streetcar'-ness of the previous types, while, to be honest, most of us riders really appreciate the newness of the 9.

As far as branding - I'm thinking of LA Metro with it's "Rapid" buses which use numbers beginning with 700. We have suburban routes that have 700 in their name, but, maybe we could do a step-down and go to the 600s? Like 1-->601?

I don't know if the "T" is useful for buses. What does the T mean even? I would love for them to commit to it and brand everything as F for frequent or go full chaos and brand SL for all the frequent routes. SL1 and SL1 be damned! Less tongue in cheek, they should consider something more than...

Bring it back! Bring it back! Bring it back!

I thought the scattered retail embedded in residential areas was a function of large household sizes and less strictly about formal single-use zoning.

This facade reminds me of a high street jewellery shop, just needs a bullet and vanadalproof glass case instead of bike parking.
