Is it common for transit authorities to pay for the ADA upgrades out of their own budget? Given the difficulty in covering expenses, it seems like the MBTA should be held accountable for its operating budget and should be forced to balance annually with fare receipts, town/city assessments and...

They were shockingly mild compared to what I was expecting. I just spent about a half hour trying to find out to what degree garage rates are regulated but couldn't find any information. My assumption would be garages are free to set their own rates, but every garage more or less uses the same...

Re: Fend Funds for South Station Expansion Is HSR dependent on a South Station expansion? The article mentions it a few times but I always thought HSR was a track issue that was more or less completely independent of the capacity constraints at South Station. I can see how an expansion would...

I've always wondered... from a budget/approval perspective how maintenance costs are considered. Are they included in the "total cost" that is frequently quoted as the construction cost or merely an afterthought? It seems like it would be beneficial to state finances to consider not only the...

I couldn't quite figure out where the bridge was going to be positioned, but I think it would be an improvement for anyone walking between MGH/West End and the T stop. One must currently go through three crosswalks and I can't imagine the timing of the signals is very coordinated to make this an...

The newton Wegmans was squished into the space and the result is not very good. It's a boutique store (for them) that will probably do fine but its not good branding as the first Wegmans inside 128. The Burlington location, which is opening soon, should be a lot better experience. I just hope...

What's the proposal that would improve pedestrian safety then?

I agree... I have no problem with 18 or even 6 as is. 18 doesn't feel like a highway off/on-ramp at all. I'm not sure how much you can clean up 6... it is what it is. But 12 is an ugly mess that would be great if it could be improved.

Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End Does the city have plans to redesign Causeway Street? I noticed the renders had bike lanes down a median.

Yep... looks like the actual is the Federal St side and the proposed is the Congress side?

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 I'd be surprised if they uprooted from Charlotte, but would be a great win for the city and region if they did.

Not sure if this the correct forum (I'm new) but I've been thinking about traffic flow around Haymarket and it seems like it would be improved by making Hanover and North St. each one way. North St would run one-way inbound to Congress and Hanover would run out from Congress towards the Surface...

Is there any real chance of a pedestrian bridge to Assembly or a commuter rail stop for the Wynn Casino? The site appears to directly abut the Newburyport/Rockport line. Is there a reason this isn't feasible?

Re: North Washington St Bridge Seems to be designed to keep pedestrians out of the intersections and out of the cars way to improve traffic flow rather than to improve pedestrian access in the area. Does anyone know why the tunnel from Storrow eastbound only connects to 93 North and US1 and not...
