I got on one until it was delayed, took the bus instead. Atrocious 2 weeks of transit experiences, personally...

Seems pretty safe to assume so - probably 2 more if I were to guess, one per major component remaining. HYM said the garage would by down by roughly the end of the year, so expect an MBTA announcement at the end of this month about November closures I'd say...

I think its just following the contour of the panel - it would look strange if they had it remain straight while the panel bends downward.

Happy World Architecture Day. I present one shot of my favorite building in the area...

With the way the FTA is breathing down the T's backs, this would be very difficult to pull off...

Additional consideration (I think): In the initial speed restrictions implementation in March, third-party inspectors and internal ROW/maintenence inspectors were out inspecting all track and verifying each other's tests. Those slow zones spread across GLX, which presumably indicates both an...

9 days in, 15 days to go. Doesn't look like everything will be down by then...

Everybody that maintained that system learned from their superiors and have retired. The recent 3rd party report indicates very little knowledge transfer occurred, and leadership in the department left. The T is left with a department starting from scratch essentially, in terms of methods and...

They're just getting a kick out of your reactions, on this thread and every other thread. Last week this was all Eng's fault that "nothing's fixed." Now this week there's a former inside source claiming it's all been a conspiracy to not do any work all along.

The 2-year community input period will result in a half-tunnel, half-bridge structure with the portal in the middle of the Mystic.

I have a feeling Somerville wants more commercial business. They've been missing out on what Cambridge has been reaping from Kendall's commercial tax base. I know, not to say we need housing - but cities have incentive to push for and appreciate commercial when it comes. It's likely easier for...

24 month long conceptual study with a robust community engagement process.. Someone needs to shake up how infrastructure works. I thought we were getting that with new leadership but it appears not

Interestingly, this page is now gone....

We won't see the impacts of the increased application rates/hiring from the recent pay bump until ~October/November. MBTA hiring process is glacial, and bus operators sign up in advance for a scheduled training program ~2 months out, I believe... Perhaps they've sped this up given the...

Damn, that Gehry building needs a deep cleaning...

BPDA likely did this by themselves - anything the BPDA does with regard to transit expansion planning is purely hypothetical - the MBTA may have had a say in reviewing it (if the BPDA reached out, and the T decided to respond), but this isn't any kind of indication or commitment from the MBTA...

It's a SGR project replacing the nearly 100 year old bridge, no real impact to service since all the work is adjacent to the existing bridge.

I'm late seeing this, but it seems strange to me they needed a flat plane for the school, and that the school and football field need to be on the same flat plane... Tons of cost savings if they played with the terrain rather than literally flattening it Sim-City God-mode style...

It looks like some interesting brick detailing. Something seems off with the current proportions - I would go with a different proportion for the windows and I think it'd be a lot better.

Another element in addition to what everyone else has mentioned: I think CR can easily single-track operations without having a negative impact on service due to its frequencies, so you can pretty much have work ongoing in sections without anyone noticing, apart from the occasional...
