I think the issue overall with Rutherford not setting aside a bus right-of-way is that we know Everett will need expanded transit going forward. Today it's a bus, but in the future it will most likely be rail. Given F-Line's argument about branching before Malden Center, the proposed future of...

Up until a day or so ago you couldn't use google for arch boston because it would come back with a link to the older link format for posts redirecting any search to the forum landing. I had to use searches to find the title of the thread and the page number in the link to get to the posts I...

Let it go donkeybutlers. All we needed was: To see how poor their underlying logic of "previous anecdotes > updated data" is. Do yourself a favor, don't waste your time with the user.

Here's the man himself. It boils down to a simple (if terribly hyperbolic) set of analogies: - "Why can't we move the bus garages out of our town and further away to redevelop the land?" Because we need the buses here, not travelling from there increasing cost and decreasing reliability. -...

At what point are we hurting ourselves by having the green line bear every extension we ever make because its easy? So green line south/west goes to Nubian, Hyde, Needham, Riverside, Cleveland Circle (with provisions to cut it off), and Boston College with a theoretical, if not considered...

I have to disagree with most of this. Your fix relies upon acronyms as opposed to contractions to accommodate the change and uses the logic that because both are types of abbreviations that it’s justified. A contraction like “Gov’t” is widely more useful to visitors and infrequent users than an...

Like Kelley square before it, thus falls another road junction that was designed for horse and cart then poorly redesigned for cars. I can understand why some here are lamenting the temporary nature of this fix but these changes are painfully needed. Also heads up to those who may lament a lost...

Two train collision on the B Line between Packard and Kenmore

Am I misunderstanding that the issue is not the path out in the river but the four feet of SFR that needs to have that landfill to be possible? This would not solve that issue.

Time for a remake of The Train you say?

Go back a couple of pages, this conversation started on Monday with:

Fixed it for you!

A diverging diamond has one of the smallest footprints for a freeway intersection; certainly smaller than the clover. That median isn't required.

BERy had intended the Cambridge tunnel to connect to what is now the blue line as its routing but these plans fell apart by 1903, resulting in the Cambridge-Dorchester tunnel we have now. Charles station was studied as a connection between the two from the get-go, prior to it's existence on the...

Interesting that Laurel Paget-Seekins' blog argues against full MBTA transparency partially due to this concern but also that the transparency of the FMCB meetings meant that the court of public opinion damaged nuance and may have had a direct effect on not being able to get the "optimal"...

Duly noted. However, sometimes I think people are just looking to catch you with your pants down like you're God and not just a very knowledgeable and thorough person.

Uh oh, F-Line is confirmed to be human like the rest of us all. Quickly: Shut down the forum, even the architecture threads. The center is collaps... run for your li... save...

Here's a rather terrible presentation of the 2017 data on the density vs service overlap that supports F-Line. East Arlington is ~50% <7,000 ppsm with the rest being <20,000 with a small pocket of <40,000 (That's not a giant gap at all!). Shawmut is housed in a pocket of <20,000 with swathes of...

Sorry to dampen the party but: Mods, can you make the "value of graffiti" conversation it's own thread? What started as a natural digression from the topic has evolved into it's own conversation and is now only loosely connected via it's origin. Thanks to Vagabond for the attempt to tie it back...

I'll keep this off-topic tangent brief but to answer your question: Kings Towne, RI was divided in 1722/23 into North and South Kingston. South Kingston was the county seat, but, a village in its borders, Little Rest, became much more successful so that by 1752 the courthouse and county jail...
