Cyclist killed in Inman Square yesterday by a landscaping truck. Details not 100% clear, but it sounds like the cyclist could either have been doored by an SUV, or swerved to avoid a dooring...

Re: North-South Rail Link Baker on the NSRL (again) Okay fine, everyone agrees there's a lot of desperately needed maintenance in the current system. I know some have argued that SSX and the NSRL are both ultimately necessary. Wouldn't it be better to focus on the NSRL first, though...

State of the Orange Line report

Does anybody know when these will be implemented? https://twitter.com/mbtainfo/status/739967209649360897 One great change #mbta is making: cash fare on board buses being reduced from $2.10 to $2.00, so less delays with riders looking for a dime...

Came across this pic today of Stanford St progress: https://twitter.com/ConciergeBoston/status/738411236698775553

Auburndale Commuter Rail Accessibility project included in MassDot budget Still one platform, I believe.

I stopped by the Fresh Pond Mall on my way home today and noticed that Cambridge fixed this shitty curb on the northbound side of the Alewife Brook Parkway just north of the intersection with Rindge. Previously, one had to dismount for a few yards or swerve into traffic to get onto that weird...

I'd like some clarification on what Boston terms "transit signal priority" given that this is the same city with a creative definition of "bus rapid transit". They were called on out on some claims about D Street not too long ago.

Yes, I use this route all the time and I don't feel guilty about salmoning the 150 feet between Charnwood and Summer. My fiancée used to live on the corner of Hancock and Summer and I can attest that plenty of other people don't feel very guilty about it either. As CantabAmager says, a desire...

Everett is talking signal priority Other signal priority stuff in the article: What's this about seven SL intersections and four 57 intersections? I can't imagine this is real signal priority -- it's probably weak-tea D Street type stuff, right?

Ah. For some reason I thought this was a different section of Beacon (which, looking back a few pages, is clearly not the case).

Brookline is talking about taking a westbound lane on Beacon St between Coolidge Corner and Washington Square and using it as a dedicated bike lane. It doesn't sound like they are super committal about it, though.

Big news on the pension front: https://twitter.com/TWallack/status/707649878734852096

Sorry - I missed that.

I bet the MBTA will argue that the scaled-back hours introduced in March 2015 constitute a new pilot and therefore reset the clock.

I'm happy that transit priority is being discussed by city officials, but what immediately jumps out at me is the focus on buses and, in particular, the Silver Line. The D Street crossing has become a cause célèbre among some people on Boston Transit Twitter and it's a worthy project. I just...

https://twitter.com/adamtvaccaro/status/701789151683862528 @adamtvaccaro #MBTA says its operating budget deficit for the ongoing fiscal year is now forecast at $95m, about $75m lower than previously projected. I wonder if this is the result of any structural changes. Does a mild winter...

Everything from the state and the MBTA seems to be focused on deciding which aspects of the GLX to cut or pare down. I'm having trouble understanding this mentality. I'm sure you can find some savings here and there by scaling down stations, etc. But from my POV the largest issue - by far -...

Re: Fairmont Line Upgrade No surprise here
