    Worcester Historic Aerials or How Urban Renewal Destroyed the Urban Fabric

    I know there are regulation issues in the Commonwealth around e-bikes and e-scooters, but assuming those were properly fixed at the state level, Worcester would gain a lot of mobility with a program similar to BlueBikes or just allowing scooter companies to come in. I know some people don’t like...

    Worcester Historic Aerials or How Urban Renewal Destroyed the Urban Fabric

    That's fair. I'm thinking along the lines of major infrastructure projects that would benefit the city and reduce car dependance. For example, the city put $100 million into the WooSox park (which they shouldn't have). Many infrastructure projects are 80% paid for by the federal government. The...

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Does anyone have any insight as to why the E branch was chosen to run on this extension at all? I recall the reasoning for D to Union and E to Medford being that E was shorter. With the E branch running in mixed traffic on the other end of its line, it seems like the Medford branch will be...

    MBTA Red Line / Blue Line Connector

    Is that the southwest extension 2 you outline here: https://www.vanshnookenraggen.com/_index/futurembta/theblueline/ ? Does it make sense for red and blue to intersect at MGH and then again at Harvard?

    Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

    Are there any plans for center running bus lanes down Broadway? Seems like a perfect spot for it given the number of routes going to and from Sullivan.
