Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium I've been a Revs season ticket holder since year 2 of their existence (1997). In that time, I've commuted to Foxboro (both the old Foxboro and Gillette) from Peabody, Lowell and North Andover. The commute sucks and it's been a noted problem for...

What I'm waiting to see is how this new fare class will effect co-branded credit card holders. I currently have a Barclay's JetBlue Plus MasterCard. If I book a Blue (basic) fare, I get baggage allowances included.

Jan Karski Way is being extended to connect to Boston Street and the existing Courtyard. I know, because I worked on the plans.

Yeah, I remember the Logan FB page used to share the photos of someone who would routinely capture the goings-on at Logan and this was from a collection of diversions from JFK due to weather.

Grew up in Peabody. Have worked in Gloucester, Reading, Billerica and Marlboro.

And if you want to be the designer who gets sued because that one truck following Waze went down a street , hopped a curb and ran over a kid - well, have fun with that. Setting the stop bar back means reducing the storage capacity of the turn lane, which in turn eliminates a huge benefit of...

Correct. NW used to use A332s on this route. I flew it AMS-BOS back in 2005.

Rather than try to insult my intelligence and use fictional numbers to make an argument, I'm going to use real numbers by looking at the cover sheet of the design plan set and focusing on the "T" column. That's your percentage of trucks as part of the overall daily and peak traffic volumes. For...

Hi, Professional Traffic Engineer here. God forbid an engineer design geometric improvements in order to accommodate a WB-series truck for a design speed of 30 or 35 MPH for roadway intersections that are not 90 degrees and such that the truck will not encroach into the opposite lanes, thus...

Was at the Garden last night for U2 and the east side escalators have been completely walled off, presumably for the new connection from Champions Row into the building.

I know that at one point Delta operated this route as part of it's Song service with 757s (I flew it), with a late afternoon departure, IIRC.

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium And the process for finding a home for the Revs outside Foxboro is closing in on 20.

Perhaps Harvard realized that by upping the seed money now, and pushing for interim improvements (on top of a permanent station), they can expedite the build-out of the area and not only recoup the initial outlay, but profit off it down the line.

In the meantime... https://twitter.com/LMRAMIREZGM/status/951900471530344449

I was just walking out of the Garden after the game last night at this very spot on my way over to the T and noticed that there is a complete lack of structure in this spot right now.

I'm a regular at the Fours, primarily during hockey season and TBH, I don't see what the city envisioned when they announced the Canal Street shutdown. On a non gameday, the street is dead. Once business hours end on a weekday, the sandwich and coffee shops are closed. Boston Beer Works, the...

As someone who designs these for a living, this is false. The walk interval (solid white pedestrian indication shown) is an absolute minimum of 7 seconds. To that, we add a calculated pedestrian clearance time which assumes a pedestrian is about to enter the crosswalk and grants sufficient time...

I was in London for the first time last month and took HE to/from Paddington. Made me cry (as a Bostonian) how easy and clean it was.
