The real proposal (for, ahem, the North South Rail thread) is simply the Bus Lane Starter Kit: Congress St : North - South - East (its entire length) Stuart-Kneeland-Albany : West - South (connects to Congress at Altantic Wharf) This does not give you NSRL's "through running" but it does give...

How are speeds on the Lechmere viaduct? Got that OCS fixed (or whatever the excuse was)?

I can't figure out if any/all covers are illegal, or just ones that "obscure" https://www.wwlp.com/news/local-news/hampden-county/more-local-drivers-using-illegal-license-plate-covers/ AAA New England on this topic...

I'd like to log here our collective wisdom on how licensed vehicles "participate" or "opt out" of automatic enforcement in Greater Greater Boston. As we rely on plate-readers for toll collection, and potentially for congestion zones, red light cameras (Providence), or speed cameras, the ability...

I visited Des Moines Iowa, and, I gotta say, their ability to build dramatic,functional bike-ped-only bridges seems several levels above Boston's game. Downtown Rehabbing a rail bridge into bike/ped: Des Moines Union Railway Bridge (south crossing for the downtown riverwalk) Pedestrian Bridge...

Agree with @Charlie_mta that center-running bus lanes should be the standard. I think that Boston wasn't politically ready for center-running back in 2001 even if it was considered "standard" for BRT it was not standard for how Boston thought about its streets. But here, a generation later...

Are they just going to build the occupiable space as a stack of steel donuts hung / cantilevered from that central concrete core?

And yet I find myself wishing other routes were as high-frequency, that other routes had designated bus lanes, and that other busy stops were as nicely sheltered. And saying that SL3 extensions west of Chelsea and inward toward Cambridge would also be better. So I can't hate it that much if I...

Meanwhile, we missed this lack-of-progress update from November https://www.wgbh.org/news/politics/2022/11/15/for-massachusetts-no-news-of-a-new-state-seal-or-motto

Utah has done a super job changing their flag from seal-on-blue-sheet to a real logo (compare new flag, top, to current flag, bottom) https://flag.utah.gov/final-flag-designs/

To be clear, it cut *dwell time* 20%, not total trip time.

The cruelly named “Design Consultants Building” is the ugliest building [in] urban metro Boston

Apparently this is the more recent "apartments only" plan with more below grade parking:

So it looks like the earlier link/article was updated in December 2022 based on a further approval? https://www.yourarlington.com/arlington-archives/town-school/development/mugar-112421.html From the Oaktree site, here is the first time I've seen a site plan (That's Rt 2 slashing from upper...

File under Peer Pressure: Chicago's Metra commits to a transition to Regional Rail (all day, clock-face) in Metra's new 5 year plan [pdf]

When I play connect-the-parcels here, it is usually for a surface light rail line and pedestrianway. The problem with actual water is that it becomes an actual channel for superstorm inundation...I'd want to make sure it isn't an end run around the Fort Point Channel flood barrier.

Nice. From the founding era of Citco when it was called Cities Service Co. [additional question] Did they tie it into the building at the back? Similar to the Rosebud Diner in Davis (which is a portal to a much larger restaurant), this seems like a *great* portal to a larger space or at least...

Tell me more about this building (I'm sure I've taken note of it before, but have forgotten its story)

@Plen-T-Pak thanks for the request! Done.

I figure It should have about the same density as the Hult campus
