Every day workers risk their lives for the bosses profits. Rest in peace, fw.

If you want to go really crazy you could criss cross the river with bridges/ tunnels to serve some areas lacking rail in the inner ring something like a stop at MGH, across the river stop at mass ave, stop at cambridgeport, across the river, 2-3 stops in lower alston, across again, stop at...

With the extension to chelsea, Bellingham Sq.

This is exactly what I think the long term blue line extension should be. Bringing to waltham may be expensive but it has 60,000 people with a large immigrant population and is inside 128. Watertown has a higher density, which is around that of JP.

There are still empty lots in chinatown why tear down a solid building before building on those?

How difficult would it be to connect the fairmount line to the orange line tunnel? bringing a line to (back to) Everett would be good.

With the lots built the way they are is it even possible to develop them without tearing down the whole buildings? If that is the case an isolated lot honestly might have been better in the long run if uglier in the short term. I feel like the way this is built it orients this development to the...

I don't feel like this is all that great dont those garages face the T stop? The urban fabric is not well connected to public transportation or able to be easily expanded beyond a central strip. They could have faced the river far better than they did. I guess I just question the necessity of so...

Looks like two options a connection to school street or just the station along the community path. Connecting to school street seems like an entrance on school street would provide better access to the station for people towards its north/northwest (including the square for which its named).

I think if you connected the blue line to an NSRL central station you would need to connect the blue line to the red line even more. A blue red connection is important for the whole system. We have a hub spoke model interconnection between lines is already limited, that two lines don't meet...

Those lots are horrific. isn't this right next to the orange line with a brand new station? Does it really take lots that massive to have one medium density street?

On page 179 of the Go Boston 2030 proposals they mention potentially extending the line into seaport. I think It would make more sense to extend the silverline further into roxbury and through Everett and replace it with light rail.

I don't think anything really if both are seen as an end goal but the latter would make future expansion easier. I think you are right about the bus lines and connections, I think with a real urban ring you could cut down on more busses but without that they serve an important role in being...

Here is a basic doodle of some Ideas I have had. The main part is replacing and expanding the silverline through Roxbury, chelsea, and Everett, which are all dense urban areas close to downtown but completely (in the case of everett) or almost completely unserved by rail. This could fit into...

It's a giant chode. The building currently there is better.

I agree walnut, Dale, or MLK would make a lot of sense for a phase 1 orpotentially a phase 2 is dudley is explicitly planned to allow it (I am also worried that bringing a line there would be seen as adequate even though it would still leave the vast majority of roxbury under served). I think...

I also think taking that all the bus routes would end as a given and that they could not be rerouted to better connect to the train expansion is faulty analysis and underestimates the potential ridership.

In a MassDOT study of the needs in roxbury, dorchester, and mattapan they discuss the potential for light rail through warren and all the way to mattapan down blue hill ave. It's on page 52-53.

Would it be possible to fit a line down warren st to blue hill/seaver or down washington again to eggleston? If a line went all the way there and the fairmont line really becomes the indigo line this would put pretty much the entirety of roxbury within walking distance of the T.

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport This would improve the area tremendously.
