    Reasonable Transit Pitches

    Yeah if there's an intermediate stop on Columbia point you'd probably grab a lot traffic from the redline stop, though it would mostly just replace shuttlebusses. Also put in a Marina Bay park and ride and you'd keep a fair number of commuters from having to hit the neponset river bottlenecks

    Photo of the Day, Boston Style: Part XII (2019)

    ^ LOL fun anecdote: The last time this ship was in town I took a long bike ride around town. On Mem drive there were a few Argentinian sailors posing for snapshots with the skyline in the background. They were in full (Argentine Navy) dress whites. ... *Many* well-meaning local...

    MassDOT Rail: Springfield Hub (East-West, NNERI, Berkshires, CT-Valley-VT-Quebec)

    Incidentally - My sense is that a lot of the new HSR construction in Europe, China, Turkey etc. makes extensive use of long and tall viaducts. I suspect that these are (relatively) efficient to build because (a) the ground-contact footprint is small and self-contained, (b) they're naturally...

    MassDOT Rail: Springfield Hub (East-West, NNERI, Berkshires, CT-Valley-VT-Quebec)

    One problem with this is that AVs don't exist. And anyway flying cars will make the trip even straighter and faster.

    Design a Better Fort Point Channel

    There's nothing wrong with the channel that can't be fixed by renewing the Northern Ave bridge and rebuilding the Mt Washington St bridge.

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    I think the idea is that it connects via the walkway under the N Wash bridge (currently out of service of course). But agreed on the de facto sidewalk.

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    Turn the viaduct into a multimodal station with the highways either on top of below or both. Like Amsterdam Centraal (or at least Amsterdam Zuidas).

    The Boston "what if" thread

    Then the BRA would have knocked it all down 100 years later anyway, to build a convention center and / or a mall with abundant parking

    Seaport Transportation

    My dudes, is there not already a clear shot through the parking lots just north of the gillette building (i.e. directly over the pike extension?

    Salem MBTA Station

    Can confirm this. There should be a garage at North Beverly instead (with a stand-by siding like in downtown Bev to facilitate frequencies)

    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    Jeff point is mostly a big hill. The 'real' risk to eastie and the airport is inundation of the summer, Callahan, Ted, and Blue tunnels, plus also maybe the fuel tanks on Chelsea Creek...
