Re: North-South Rail Link This annoys me to no end. Is this really necessary? Meanwhile... a) Two tracks is probably not enough for the potential intercity, regional rail, and RER-style service we could potentially see. b) Branching of the Red Line is brutal enough as-is.

25-year-old male with a BS in both Economics and Government (with Political Science focus). I work as a Train Dispatcher for the MBTA commuter rail and have had jobs in transportation since before I even finished college. I have always -- since I was a kid -- been fascinated by maps...

Sounds very promising. Calling these projects "dated" is only scratching the surface. They're deplorable, depressing, poorly laid out, and not really all that dense. Tripling the density and a 1:1 replacement on afforable units is a good start. I wish it was more aggressive on both fronts, but...

This was probably already noted somewhere in here, but last week I found that the second or third floor of Primark was recently expanded and now goes out over the Old Navy location.

I wanted to vote JUST BUILD IT, but I don't want to see steaming turds. I feel like a NIMBY now.

1. NSRL 2. Blue Line from Charles to Lynn 3. No money left

I disagree about Cambridge being segregated. I certainly agree with a Portland section.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett I hope they don't eliminate the Dexter St light, either. Sometimes I am approaching from the Chelsea side, and shoot down Robin St to Dexter St. I'd probably never make a left onto Broadway without the light. What a totally bogus idea that this removes any host...

A lobster with life-like moving antennas that are streams of water. Make it so.

I'm not sure if you're blaming today's towers for loss of what was, or if you're just stating that you'd rather have those buildings than what we have now. I wouldn't blame today's towers themselves for most of the city's great losses.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett A new traffic light was added for Horizon Way/Chemical Ln. Is this temporary, for construction? I hope this isn't the permanent driveway for the casino. There's already a potential access point at Dexter St! Last thing that was needed was another traffic light...

Hmm, guess I've missed some shit lately. Also, it won't let me vote.

Watertown Branch along Fresh Pond?

It was a good time. Not sure any of you usual suspects made it or not, but I know there is some crossover between TransitMatters members and archBoston users.

While they're at it, keep 50 ft between the south end of the platforms and the crossing. At some point, have DTMF signals protecting High St from southbound trains. That way, trains can come into the station and sit, and the gates won't have gone down at all until they dial in for a permissive...

My point was that we could have had some service sooner than we will have any GLX service -- not that a full build EMU plus NSRL could have happened faster (it certainly could not have). An EMU service would initially start off by piggybacking on existing infrastructure and improving existing...

I don't know that, because I see an antiquated system running inbound trains through a single-track Salem tunnel every 12 minutes for an hour while 3 outbounds get threaded upstream. I'm amazed to think what DMU plus NSRL could do. Work as been done, but there hasn't been a single construction...

This would have been amusing. I'm disappointed you guys did not take him up on this.

So, from what I could find here ( http://www.massport.com/logan-airport/inside-the-airport/logan-interactive-maps/#terminal/B/zone/departures ) there are the following post-security areas: All of E + most of C C40, C41, C42 (fucking dumb) B37, B38 (holy fuck, WHAT THE FUCK?) Most of B B1, B2...

This is sexy, very sexy. Just look at this gorgeous ROW we have here. I think it won't be long at all before folks are clamoring for an extension once this thing gets running. It will reach Sullivan within 15 years. Meanwhile, GLX might not even be done yet.
