A couple of points: Restoring the grade crossing in Arlington Center would not be popular with the locals. Most of the bridges have been rebuilt to be bike path only, even if the abutments still have space for two tracks. Bike path users and abutters would react violently to the prospect of...

The offset windows and the red penthouse need to go.

Slow progress on the Prospect St Substation.

How deep was the 100-150 Salt excavation before they shut off the pumps?

I thought the MBTA had programmed some money to evaluate running full third rail.

Lab employees living in the burbs don’t want to worry about parking.

I think the slurry wall is just enclosing the substation. The residential tower has a distinct foundation.

The pool picture has late 80s pre-teen birthday party vibes.
