I am hopeful that we see Concord Carlisle, or Bedford think about a way to build a more cohesive network in the area. You can go on protected paths for a good chunk of a ride leaving Boston, but there's a distinct gap on 62 between the Reformatory Branch and the Bruce Freeman that's not nice to...

Man...I understand some of the initial concerns with the project, but the area is sort of perfect for increased density. Walking distance to two major transit stops, major, major student population, and rents getting crushingly high. Something's going to have to change, and a higher spine...

Honestly, I think it's less of a cultural thing -- there are plenty of places in Cambridge where there are grade-separated bike lanes at sidewalk grade and people largely stay out of them. It's DCR parks and paths that end up as throughways for commuters where there isn't dedicated space for...

It's crazy that this still is sitting in the same state years later, especially given the construction in the rest of the Seaport. Has there been any talk about it from Wu's office? The design was supposed to be 100% complete by the end of 2020, and just...nothing?

I suppose to some degree it's lucky then that a chunk of the Red Line is in a pretty cycling-friendly city, otherwise the BlueBike mode shift wouldn't even be possible. But that certainly can't be said for points south of South Station. You would hope that public officials would be hammering the...

Besides the flippant "Department of Cars and Roads" moniker I have to think one of the main reasons is that DCR doesn't aim to design a lot of their pathways and parks for commuting purposes, but for low-stress recreational purposes. The fact that these routes end up being thoroughfares for...

I suppose then you could have PVTA operate a Boston->Springfield route then, but to what end? You still have the MBTA servicing part of the line (Boston->Worcester) and originating/terminating at MBTA-operated stations, and the MBTA is the only state-level agency that has the existing structure...

This parcel extends all the way to Prospect, right? What's the timeline here for full demo? Really interested to know how long the main thoroughfares here are going to see closed sidewalks and construction, currently walking/biking down Prospect is kind of a mess with the 10 Prospect project in...

Winchester sure, but I would argue against putting Woburn in a "low-density suburb" category here long-term -- there's a pretty decent amount of development in progress around the Anderson/Woburn RTC area, and it is higher density than many neighboring towns. If that's the chief argument against...

I've seen this quoted a number of times as a potential follow-up project -- have there been any studies as to project timeline or feasibility for this? From a layman's view the ROW west of Union headed to Porter looks fairly narrow compared to the rest of the line -- is an extension possible...
