This comes with centering the concept of pedestrian-first streets though. You mention bulb-outs and aggressive space consumption, and that is exactly the point: As long as we design our city streets to favor single-occupant personal cars, we'll be stuck with the traffic and other negatives of...

This came up on pg. 23 of this thread and I asked you for a breakdown on why this would help Rt. 2, but I became unavailable to follow up. I have to say that the idea that Norwich and points east relief seems like it would have negligible impact on the Exit 8 onward jam of Glastonbury->Hartford...

The Genesee and Wyoming livery is visually distinct and absolutely awful.

No doubt. One possible way to limit impact on College Ave metered parking would be to have single-side bus lanes in small sections at each end. Specifically, the most tactical Bus lane would be from Chapel street to Davis as it is almost a universal rule that getting off at the Chapel street...

The 89 going through Davis should be permanent as it is a great change. As such, there isn't need for BRT on Broadway between Powderhouse and Teele unless we move the 87 or 88 to Broadway before they get to Davis. Even then, I'd advocate for BRT infrastructure on Holland and College Ave before...

I hear you, but remember, we didn't start with Subway either. We built trolleys, then increased ridership, moved them underground when they over saturated the streets, and repurposed those tunnels for subway when they became overcrowded. If LA has a culture of driving, you have to drive a mode...

The modern equivalent of the Montparnasse crash with 100% less tragedy and 100% more surrealism.

Maybe a concept for when the green line ends up at Porter? Can't say I'm enthusiastic about the staircase to nowhere replacing the trees in the park. Porter is already a desolate wasteland of concrete which becomes especially apparent when you go back and forth between Porter and Davis. That and...

F-Line has talked at length about how that ROW is gone, unfortunately. I am a huge supporter of Providence developing rail transit and think this connection would have been really positive for both communities over time.

It's dead, Jim

That would be Gilman Square Station and the tracks will go on either side of it. Outbound roughly just inside where the temporary concrete barriers are and inbound between the island and the retaining wall. Here's a quick overview.

You and F-Line are doing the same thing in reverse. This is a total pot kettle black scenario. Because Arborway is gone and is not coming back, Stony Brook is a compromise pick that lines up well enough with BOTH sides that lost their direct transit. Emphasis on the well enough. Your arguments...

-City gets federal money to upgrade Melnea Cass to a quasi-highway -Opposition rejects the proposal -City, not wanting to lose 25 million comes back with a plan to rebuild MC with protected bike lanes, cycle tracks around bus stops, raised pedestrian and bike crossings, tidal flooding...

The Blue line/411 comparison was for how valuable a bus that runs the length of the beach was as opposed to access to the beach itself at a well serviced point. I agree they are not 1:1 at all. I really was looking for a bus that ran the shoreline. Where's that data coming from? The better bus...

First off, Quincy's buses sucked and I almost always walked rather than take the 245 so props for trying to problem solve this. From my perspective you're trying to solve for two problems: Connection to Wollaston Beach Connection to Marina Bay The proposed route does not really serve anyone but...

I know it's probably 1000% for practical reasons, but I like the look of the ES 64 U2 better because of the double cab. This with the double end would be pretty awesome.

Can you expand on this, because I don't follow the logic here. As someone who grew up on the Route 2 corridor, almost none of this addresses the last miles of RT 2. With the expressway ending in Norwich, most of what you are talking about serves the Route 6 folks headed into Hartford. Commuters...

You're just gonna burn CT like that? Yeah, that's why I left too.

Your Green line branch to Medford center is (currently) a waste of resources. Past Assembly, Mystic ave is barren outside of industrial, car dealerships, and some scant food establishments. I get it, because it's a wide open space that gets you to Medford center, but in my opinion, it's no...
