I bought two e-bikes off them there. I'm not a big bike head and the fella who assembled them really seemed to hate ebikes! The thinking was that once the path opens, it'll be easy to take them there to get serviced. I've no need for a huge outdoor gear store so not bothered about the size but I...

It's not like this REI building has ruled out any of this stuff happening. It's a business that went in early and is doing well. It's location and size (the buisness) is perfect for the area. As to the use of the site in relation to the rest of the development, it's clearly been decided in...

You'd rather an RMV at the door step of a new T station and a new community path over an REI? I think the long narrow shape mixed with the black steel beams shows a kind of nod to the industrial rail yard past here and the materials complement the restaurant/bar building across the road. For...

what would you put there instead? I like when you come in to Lechmere on the T (from the north) the view of CX isn't obscured by anything higher. I like it's industrial feel. I like that it's retail and you'll see people milling about between it and the station. I also like that it's located at...

East Somerville to Brickbottom because it’s not in East somerville, it’s in brickbottom!

Only ever ridden SL1 to the airport and back. It's a crazy example of excellent public transit switching to terrible public transit in one short journey. Couldn't believe it when I first took it. South station to silver line way, excellent. Integrated with subway at south station, electrified...

take the maps at Medford Tufts, print a load more, go to every station over a week and replace them. Do this every 6 months or when ever there's a change. It's simple.

I cant get why it takes time. I really cant. They planned this extension for 20 or 30 years or something. They've been actually constructing it for 5 years and it'll take over a year to update the maps on the actual line(s). They have the graphics. The newly opened stations have up to date maps...

Yea, tweeted the T about this (just the out of date maps not the cool public updating), got a bit of traction and a response from them. Went along the lines of "yeah yeah yeah, we're doing it..." It blows my mind that Union and Lechmere have been open almost a year and the maps on the D and E...

The path will work it's self out in terms of speed. From McGrath to lowell, there's lots of street crossings, a station entrance, a school, a park, gradient changes, there's no where to pick up dangerous speed. From McGrath inbound, there probably is but there wont be much pedestrian traffic. I...

Wondered that myself!

Looks to me like there already is one below the cross st bridge. There is a solar sign if sime kind but it’s bagged up fir now

we're now entering peak frustration period. I'd be pretty sure that all the work still needed could be done in a week but will instead take 10 weeks.

for anyone that's interested

Anyone know what the story is with this? like the Marie Seleste crew just up and left one day. how badly damaged does a structure like this get sitting exposed all through winter?

sure, I'd be ok with that but I doubt that will happen. It'll be two dedicated traffic lanes, a dedicated bus lane and turn lanes. So instead of using Washington and crossing under McGrath where you have to cross 2 lanes, a big island and 2 more lanes, you'll have to cross 8 lanes. (maybe 6 at...

Apologies for being way off topic here but What?? there is a big tunnel under the target end that used to be a northbound lane. There's the construction staging area across from the mechanics on Medford st. (where the tunnel opens out) Theres a sizable area between the bus shelter and the cut...

I'd actually support leaving it elevated and using the space below it for arts/culture. The skate park under 93 is a great use of space. How much would it cost to put in shipping container studios and wire them up. For a project I was 100% in favor of, I've really turned around on it. The...

True, It could all be fine, and this particular project being just off McGrath will probably fare better than most. Where Mcgrath has capacity, none of the surrounding streets do. Washington street will back up from Somerville ave to McGrath, especially when Rickies, the gas station and...
