yea but the GLX feels different. 6 new dedicated stations. Just stop at them for a sec so that people have one less step to think about as they get used to a new system, they've already been made to do some basic computer programing to get their ticket. It's all about usability and the T don't...

Its totally stupid. Its a new line that's completely separated, Just stop at every stop. I'm not sure I've ever been on a light rail line with it's own tracks not running on a street where I've had to request a stop. If someone wants to take the new line they have to go through the ticket...

as always, thanks for all the local documenting Dr.

Haven't seen it in person yet but it's looking good. Hopefully it tows the line right between abstract contemporary sculpture and a more classical literal style. It does look like it will become a real focal point for locals and tourists.

There's a height restriction sign on the new community path bridge span that crosses washington st. beside the entrance to the E.Somerville station. It's right at the center of the new bridge and it's clearly wedged in place with some scrap timber. I'm guessing it will stay like that for years.

yea, I think it could be great as this is the area the community path ends. Biking down from the Red bridge path to see a concert on a summer evening. Its also where the Grand Junction path will connect. What seems like a wasteland now will probably become quite a vibrant area thanks to the...

I have a $1000k e bike (class 1, pedal assist, capped at 20mph) that I use to ferry my kid around. I plan to use the path a lot as he spends a lot of time at the Y and cycling along highland is dangerous and unpleasant. I actually see e-bikes as major factor in future urban mobility. We don't...

I don't suppose there was any mention of the community path?

Great news!!!

I admit not having read the whole thread but does AFC 2.0 mean I can use apple pay or tap an actual credit card. No more Charlie card (if I don't want to use one)?

Yea, been testing at full schedule for two weeks now. No drop off at all and trains moving briskly!

I don't mind the look of these new buildings (except the air conditioner thing in BY) Sure they could be better but I like that they're avoiding the total glass curtain wall so far. There's plenty of that in CX/Kendall.

'it's taken 8 years and 12 different committees but this is the plan we've come up with and we're just going to persevere with it now. If you don't think its the most effective use of resources, please shout in to the void provided'

quick question, Is more street signage going to be put up? In particular I'm thinking about East Somerville. As far as I know the only entrance at the moment will be off Washington st. behind Cataldo but you'd really need to be paying attention to realize that's how you access the station!

I doubt the test trains will stop on Friday.

Just wondering if there's any plans to clean up the back of the old building. Is renovating it part of this project?

There was about a month of testing before the Sep 19 shutdown too.

Great news, thanks for sharing!
