It's a small video--try this link? I cant attach the mp4 to this post unfortunately.

Wow, I couldn't even orient myself and figure out where this picture was taken from/what I was actually looking at for a few moments there! (Still) can't wait!

I work from home except for maybe 2x a month in the office when I need specific equipment. The office used to be in the Seaport which is walking distance to me (~1.5 mi), however, during covid they downsized the office space to a small spot in Newton Corner (which is now a train + express bus...

I'm more surprised at the actual color choices. It's as if someone just said, "oh we have color changing lights, lets set them to the default 'red' and the default 'green' setting". It's the most default, saturated, red and green color, like FF0000 and 00FF00 in rgb hex codes. The same thing...

I assume they're talking about the consensus plan? SUPPORTING MAIN STREET: 2023 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING MULTI-FAMILY ZONING FOR MBTA COMMUNITIES There's a bunch of links there as well as the Town Meeting Files I haven't found a map yet of what the plan covers entirely (it makes reference to...

I didn't see this posted: MBTA has released their preliminary November service changes for work on the Red/Orange lines. Looks like fixes/speed restriction work for the Red between JFK/UMass and Park Street Stations (Nov 14 @ 8:45p - Nov 16, weekend of Nov 18-19) and Alewife and Kendall/MIT...

I also like this whole thing. Makes me smile just thinking about it all. About some traffic concerns towards downtown: Would removing Storrow Dr (eastbound) in the Back Bay to Beacon Hill (Longfellow Bridge) area necessitate using/modifying Back St at all? I assume it's just used for Back...

Yeah but if I’m not mistaken the FTA assumed control of WMATA in 2015 or so when they were having a horrible time. I’m not saying it’s equivalent but if you recognize the FTA coming in this year and telling the MBTA to get their act together as—we have some years to get to WMATA 2023 status...

here's a doc from 2018 that has station lengths / curves from that time. I don't know if any updated presentations like this were made. Green Line Future Capacity Study Update 5/7/2018

Nighttime shot from 5/23 when the Celtics were playing in Miami. Green logo, white ribs. I guess the ribs don't change color?

I never got a picture because I don’t have a totally unobstructed view from my apt but one night this winter the “STATE STREET” branding was being tested and was able to go through a rainbow of colors. One test had each letter a different color. I wonder if the horizontal ribs also are...

Just walked down Cambridge street in Beacon Hill and noticed the EB lane from city hall has a new bike lane. I took a few pictures but the link below has some more information. https://mass.streetsblog.org/2022/10/21/eyes-on-the-street-downtown-bostons-new-cambridge-street-protected-bike-lane/

Just got raised yesterday to take in effect in 2024. They vote to give the people who serve in the next term a raise (same for the Mayor who gets a raise in 2026)

NBC10Boston received the most recent inspections that the City did in January and they were rated '5' out of '9' or "fair condition" more info at the link here: https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/woman-hurt-after-light-pole-crashes-down-on-moakley-bridge-in-boston/2847044/

Do we have an idea when this will be complete and open to the public? Another month or two or are we waiting till next year?

Aaaand...here goes the GLX shutdown for 4 weeks starting Aug 22. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/08/05/metro/mbta-close-newly-opened-green-line-extension-4-weeks/ edit: I posted at the same time as Teban but their link has better information.

It seems like the lights are behind the glass which is wicked cool. I was trying to see where the lights were set up on the daylight pics. I’m glad it’s flush or behind because it allows both the daylight glass facade and these nighttime lights to work

It’s lit at night. Wow.

Hey so this is a bit about less NEW retail/etc. I’ve heard that Faneuil Hall’s Christmas random lights on their trees got repo’d so they got taken away and I’m in Faneuil now seeing three 18 wheeler trucks taking things out of Quincy market. Anyone have any inside knowledge?

From 3/30 at night.
