Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail Where do you see that in the NPC? I think that is a different project entirely that is not included in this filing or budget. This routing is failure by design. It allows DOT to get some of the South Coast pols off their backs for a few years with a...

Are you sure? Look at that picture of our 6'4" governor next to the doors.

CAF is absolutely unable to keep delivery targets for any customer on this continent in any of its business lines. The product may be fine whenever you get it but for a huge procurement like a green line replacement, the T would be making a huge mistake to go with them.

Those elements are mandated by the feds.

It's just a fucking advertisement. Who gives a shit?

Re: South Station Tower I think it is intended to evoke the former glass trainsheds that once existed above South Station and Penn Station. I like it.

Those beams you see are supporting the walls during during excavation. Similar to the Millennium Tower excavation. They have a specific name, which escaples me. DataDyne knows

Re: North-South Rail Link Like the actual Boston residents along the Fairmount Corridor and Indigo Line?

I know a lot of you guys shop there, but Wet Seal on Winter Street seems to have closed a couple of weeks ago. Similar to Forever21 I guess.

FWIW, this site falls within the FAA 825' space on the map from the 115 Winthrop thread, is right next to the Bowdoin Blue Line station, about a block to North Station, in very close proximity to the Gov't Center garage development, and closer to Mass General than Kendall Square. If you were...

Re: North-South Rail Link The Red X/NSRL described by Arlington above is not under consideration. It is an idea but NSRL is a a 4 track commuter rail/Amtrak tunnel and that is unlikely to change.

Strikes me as a "Dune" style sandworm.

Would it ever make sense to "intentionally" bunch buses? That is to say on very busy routes to send off 2-3 buses on the same route at the same time. If dwell times were reduced because of greater capacity, would service times improve?

Didn't we already have a Full Funding Grant Agreement for the project that was being reviewed with the revised project scope? My *guess* is that these are all projects that already had an FFGA or equivalent in place and he intends to honor it. Similar to the various job gains and factory...

Track 61 is stupid. What is NOT stupid is commenting on the MBTA capital plan to recommend funding for T under D which is in the universe of projects but is not funded. http://blog.mass.gov/transportation/massdot-highway/massdot-announces-online-comment-tool-for-capital-investment-plan/

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium It should be noted that the Teacher's Union is no stranger to tough negotiating.

Maybe you would have gotten some nice Red Sox tickets out of it though.
