I've been happy with the improvements MEVA has been making over the past couple of years. But yeah I agree with you, the demand isn't quite there yet. As nice as it would be to be able to hop on a train and head to the beach, I don't think this juice is worth the squeeze so to speak. I didn't...

I'm aware, at least they will end up as some nice rail trails. But this is CRAZY TRANSIT pitches thread....let a man dream 😭😭😭

Has anyone here taken a look at CR service along the Merrimack River (E-W from Lowell to Lawrence/Haverhill or Newburyport)?

This is Italian American discrimination!! /s

Wow Brookline is really dragging their feet on bike infrastructure...

I agree. The DCR officials still seemed a bit hesitant to include more traffic calming features, but at least there's going to be a much nicer park for this stretch of the river!

When is the fiscal cliff supposed to hit the T?

I can't remember the exact city, but one muni came up with pre-approved designs. If you stuck with them, you got an expedited permitting process because the city was the one who originated the design.

Whoops, I put this in the wrong thread. Looks like Newburyport is going to get a bikeshare system next year. https://newburyportlivablestreets.org/2024/09/07/newburyports-bike-share-initiative/ https://newburyportlivablestreets.org/bikeshare/

Does anyone know if the legislature is looking into what the single-stair report wrote about? I'm not that keyed into what goes on in Beacon Hill.

Nope there will still be three lanes across the bridge. One of the changes is to make the rightmost NB lane a right-turn-only lane to allow for signal separation of the bike and ped movements, removing that turning conflict.

What did they do?

How many of us on this forum have reached out to our reps/senators? It's one thing to talk about all these transit and development projects, it's another to actually try and advocate for change. I've been emailing my reps about road safety on DCR owned streets. Hopefully they realize that this...

If the angled parking was replaced with parallel parking, you might be able to squeeze in a bike lane. But overall, this is going to be a huge improvement.

Looks great! Seems like there’s a gap in the northbound bike lane in this photo…

No. We need to build a ton more housing so we don’t lose any votes in the electoral college.

Now I hate this project lol

I watched that meeting. The consultants/ planners even said that this is a paper-compliance plan, some of the areas to be rezoned would just match the zoning to what’s out there today and allow like 5 new units of housing across the entire zone. It seems very risky to put all that funding at...
