That's been the plan for a while I thought. “We can’t expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have communism.”—Nikita Kruschev

The 66 is two buses every 20 minutes during peak times. Traffic is horrendous along Harvard Ave. Once it passes Brookline Village and gets onto Huntington Avenue it is pretty predictable in timing thereafter. The thing about the 66 is it gets a lot of North-South traffic by people who are...

Re: New Design for Middlesex Courthouse East Cambridge residents apparently may want the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority to foot the bill for changes. The problem? the idea of developers being forced to remove the top floors of the 22 story Edward J. Sullivan county courthouse. This...

Re: New Brighton Landing | New Balance Complex Give it a year or two. It can be dedicated to someone. Perhaps Menino when he steps down.

*grin* Blasphemy. WE in Cambridge have too much fun with our figurehead Mayor and strong City Manager form of government. Besides, us in this city can pride ourselves knowing that our just retired City Manager *NOT* only earned a bigger salary than the Governor of the Commonwealth of...

Bertlett Garage is still falling down. on Washington Street near Dudley. They have no money to rebuild but they could level what's left of the buildings there and put strictly just buses there. Change some buses that could be closer to this station depart from here and rework it to fit others...

Most people in this area (I'd say Belmont Center eastward) drive because we're accustom to the T not operating well in this area. There's no alternatives when things break down and it's a long wait between buses. Now would be a good time to push those tracks underground and leave a nice quiet...

Still little emphasis on North of Boston, only to the South. Car will always reign supreme up here.

True. Also reminded me of Copley Mall.

Oh that's cute, you thought the state/MBTA made decisions without the municipalities having any input? ,-) Not based on how Massachusetts government is structured. The MBTA voting areas are red, MBCR's voting area is the darker shade of blue/gray. MBTA Advisory Board...

The city has preliminary plans for a bike path somewhere near BrickYard next to the Three tall towers on Rindge Ave. to place some kind of pedestrian bridge there over the tracks that would tie into Danahy Park/ Watertown Branch Railroad trail if and whenever that gets done.

I liked the blue color on those buildings along Fawcett Street. It is different from the normal bland cream color condos they're putting up in this area. I didn't get close enough to see that it was only plastic Tyvek wrap. There's a lot more people going back in that area than there used to...

Route 2 was not supposed to be where it is. It was supposed to use the ROW of the Fitchburg Line, and cut though Porter and Union Squares. It's present location was an afterthought. Cambridge does things like that to keep the state from expanding anything more in the area. In terms of the...

Small point. Park Street isn't always the end destination for many around Harvard Sq. It's often Commuter Rail destinations so add an hour or so for that commuter rail commute, plus waiting time for commuter rail train's scheduled departure from the 'union stations' in the city.

I do agree it's a complicated intersection. I looked at some of Harvard's blueprints of that intersection held-over from the construction of Wasserstein Hall building and a move of several houses Harvard moved by flatbed. That configuration of the Red Line tunnel/Bus ramp made that junction at...

Many times people just drive in circles all day seeking to find parking. Parking lots on Church St, Charles Hotel, 124 Mt. Auburn, Elliot St. Parking Garage, the Charles River Hotel, The new law school building, the Broadway garage, and the Inn at Harvard parking all fill up quick. I've...

Hi, What about the large open field near the baseball field where school students play soccer in the evenings? (Street view - https://maps.google.com/?ll=42.376427,-71.122913&spn=0.024284,0.052099&t=h&layer=c&cbll=42.376572,-71.122175&panoid=PdRBVAMwMJjTA32vVPv4dQ&cbp=12,47.35,,0,-2.88&z=15 )...

Call it a hunch, Emerson might end up with that building, and the state leasing it back. So there's still hope in offloading it.

So is Harvard Square. I think the Cambridge Common is crying out for a three-four story below ground parking garage with direct entry into the Harvard Square T station. Somewhat similar to the parking garage at the Boston Common. Speaking of that, the Boston Common one should be connected...

Perhaps they can build over the Commuter Rail tracks at Porter and call it noise dampening of the loud train engines for local homes.
