Bare with me, this is on topic. I remember a Louis Rossmann video (YouTuber, Right-to-Repair advocate) where he looked into getting a Right-to-Repair ballot question going. He even started a GoFundMe, with one option being to put the funds toward a ballot question. But after doing the research...

Best case is MBTA is deferred as we have to wait through a hostile administration. Not much different than before except Eng manage to roll the bolder back enough that we don't have slow zones. But worse case is the loss of Fed fund with the fiscal cliff means the gap is so big that we get what...

I know this is duplicative so I should ask in the main thread, but I feel like the vibe here is more on questions than over in there right now - anyone knows if the "pedestrian walkway bridge" that used to go under the old bridge is coming back? I remember in the main thread that renders include...

Also long with Stlin said, there is no magic bullet. "Stepping up & putting their foot down" is either blowing up the whole deal or that slide you are misreading. If you're demanding the former, it's demanding trains to come in the 2030s (and I think it's reasonable to speculate the Red Line is...

Bro, if you think I created a strawman, then you haven't been reading Jahvon's past posts. The way you/we are frustrated is not the same as the way Jahvon is frustrated despite the similarity. Hence why I decided to express my original post.

The reason I don't use the ignore button because he is still a person who engage in good faith and thus I will engage back. Can my last post can be more respectful? Yes, I don't get to dictate how someone use their time or expression. But it doesn't mean I don't see the contradictions and thus...

I don't disagree with you. But frankly and the risk of crossing lines by being too frank, you're not arguing the same thing as Jahvon. Your line demonstrated the understanding of the contradictions and nuances of the situation. That dealing with all these shutdowns is a painful experience...

You can't both be mad at how many and how long it goes to make slow zones to go away and get super mad they are finally doing the work that have demonstratively shown it actually get rids of the slow zones.

We already talked about this. I'm just gonna requote what I said below.

There's already been discussions about this. But to repeat again, the other options implies losing another 10 years. This is pure speculation, but if the Orange Line rolling stock is any indication, the Red Line may not make it to delivery. If the choices is the Red Line shutting down for lack...

It's a big enough deal that two parallel discussions can happen at the same time. Both threads are thematically fitting - though I will also note the other thread's naming give a sense it's more about the singular article rather than truly dedicated to the budget crisis that we are seemingly...

So from this discussion, the Magoun Sq work looks like shit and the workers know it's going to but they have to do it. I feel like there must be better ways rather than keeping tabulating examples there ADA leading to these kind of situations. It is also notable some other threads were...

Compared to the so many other issues, this is a nice story. A café by Shawmut station that sounds like it's a nice café. The land is own by the Epiphany School that happen to have a kiosk available after being built for an entirely different purpose. The MBTA should be doing more to lease spots...

But, doesn’t Bakgwailo implies the Orange Line will be 4 years late, assuming no more delays?

I would normally link a news article, but I can't find any. The newest one I can find is WHDH's report that the GLX track work might get extended again. So here's the reddit thread that reports it by connecting 2 and 2 together - If it only extends to January, then it still won't feel too bad...

While I'm surprised all the necessary pieces weren't already set in the shadows, I still imagine a billionaire has "more effective" ways to still get his end result than punch back with a blunt lawsuit.

I want to quote this because he sure fooled me. I operate on the mindset "aim for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land in the stars" or some similar phrase. He did made a big stink that he is working to improve the T post-that-certain-winter. I figured even if he fails, certainly it will be...

IRRC, CLF was also the entity that made GLX happened. But yeah, that was also decades ago. CLF using its influence to stop a stadium because the husband to the chair of the board is the president of the company that handles tickets to the other stadiums means CLF has lost its way. I don't have...

To clarify what I meant, though especially with the use of the quote, I can see it can be reasonably interpreted to not bother talking about any projects beyond an X years horizon. That line is meant more that how TransitMatter report came out in August, which is not too long ago, but usually...

At this point, we should be doing projects in parallel rather than one-project-at-a-time with 1 station or 5 station extension it all take a decade each. Given the state of the Red Line to his city, he doesn't care about the Red Line either. This guy got a point. Why are we talking about this...
