The IOC hates joint bids, so the USOC would never choose a joint bid to submit and even if they did that bid would probably lose first round. Right now there is a trend in the Winter Games of having two sites for a games, a central city and a mountain village, but that is more due to the limited...

Another problem with the Everett industrial area being made the center of a Boston Olympics is that the Olympic Stadium is required to be within the municipal boundaries of the host city. I think I proposed this location for the site of the Olympic Stadium, Athlete's Village, and Aquatics...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium I think your dimensions are off. I'm eyeballing it at 530 feet wide and 660 feet long. And you aren't going to be able to fit that in that space. They aren't. The Revolutions front office has literally been copy and pasting the same statement about a SSS for years.

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium Using the footprint of Red Bull Arena, which is generally considered a good SSS except for its location, it isn't big enough as the stadium would jut into where New Road is (and thats also assuming you get rid of Assembly Square Drive in between Foley Street and...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium The latter. Kraft is a pretty good owner for the Patriots, but when it comes to the Revolution he is absent and only owns the team in order to fill calendar dates in the summer months. If the Revolutions ownership has actually been working on something like this...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium MLS is going to forcibly take the Revolution away from Kraft before an urban SSS gets built in or near Boston.

Things like the MBTA being burdened with the Big Dig debt, politics of the state legislature and state agencies, and federal funding inequalities between transportation modes have a lot more to do with the MBTA's financial difficulties than the fact that they pay their employees well.

Unions aren't what makes a tunnel like that difficult-to-impossible to build and the MBTA's problems have nothing to do with its unions.

If Riverside is going to get transit is there a point in keeping Woodland/Eliot/Waban around instead of getting rid of them and making Needham the D branch destination?

Re: Fairmont Line Upgrade Maybe West Station is supposed to help people get to Beacon Park for the 2024 Olympics!!!

Re: Fairmont Line Upgrade Is New Boston Balance Brighton Landing now renamed "West Station?"

I think that a Neponset Circle station should be put where the Red Line crosses over Morrissey Boulevard. That area has a better potential for redevelopment and while the island the station would be on isn't friendly to pedestrians, it does have a pedestrian bridge and bringing transit to the...

RIP New York's Metrocard New York Wants to Get Rid of Subway Cards. It's About Time.

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos Veolia also runs transit in the occupied Palestinian territories and does a whole lot of shady things with their water management contracts so they're real huge fucks and I'm not going to be sad to see them go.

There are like, way too many additional stations on the Red Line there. It would barely move. For example, the current placement of stations on the Fairmount Line already have a good enough spacing for rapid transit and the spacing on the existing Red Line obviously are as well. The only place...

Re: Barry's Corner Commons and renaming Barry's Corner I would be fine with a name change as long as the new name keeps the word 'Corner' and doesn't have 'Allston' in it.

The E Branch is going to terminate at Union Square and the C Branch is going to terminate at College Avenue as far as I know.

If the MBTA were to have street running rail on Mass Ave, where would the terminuses be located? Would it stop at Central for people to transfer to the Red Line or go further?

There is this place on Tremont Street that could be turned into a nice little nook. Right here. Also agree on that place in front of the Whole Foods in back of Symphony Hall.

Boston will annex all these towns, by force, after the third world war concludes and the radiation had subsided.
