If only we lived in a real city. MassDOT psychically tortures me every day with the suburban style new 4 lane road they added so executives can drive out of CX faster. Cause you're definitely meant to drive there.

Yeah that’s why I don’t pay. It’s such a pain. I am a transit guy but I’m not an idiot.

Carbon monoxide park is in full bloom. Looks pretty. Will look even better when the trees grow.

I have a kind of weird theory about fare evasion from observing friends. I think honestly especially on GL surface branches the feeling is that riding the green line is basically being ripped off. Crowded, slow, unreliable… whereas when I was in Warsaw I was happy to pay the fare, cause things...

Here’s a rare-ish angle of city hall. Need to take some photos like this so we can remember it after we finally knock it down 😉

Referring to Monsignor O'Brien highway

Is there a detailed timeline of when the highway paralleling the viaduct will finish being rebuilt? It feels like they are working on the bike lanes once a month, and the other days they pour a bit of concrete and then find another existing area to jackhammer up and leave so I can't bike through...

A sensible inman to sullivan route would be amazing. The entire area through the railyard past CX and then Bunker Hill and that gigantic 6 lane road with what appears to be a disused canal or tunnel of some sort in the middle is such a dead zone.

I almost was hit last night on Cambridge st & Warren st, which seems to be quoted as one of the more dangerous intersections. For some reason I couldn’t get myself to care about it, just kept on going. So, can confirm

I’ve emailed mass dot. Will post reply in a month or two when I get it

Blue bikes have advantage of already being rolled out everywhere. If these bikes were good I would use them, but I can’t commute just to take one.

This seems bad enough that she should go on the record for A) what she meant by this and B) why international best practices don't count

I have pretty strong opinions on this topic -- I would say in general, that car delivered food is in general wasteful and harmful in metro Boston. When zero interest rate policy allowed these companies to hemorrhage billions with loss leading prices, they addicted upper class professionals to...

https://archboston.com/community/threads/northern-avenue-bridge-fort-point-channel.2971/page-24#post-449660 f you asked me they should build it wider and put buildings on either side of it all the way across :)

Certainly I am a big pro housing guy as I think we all are. It's fine to build any type of housing, we need it. Though I think the fact that you or I can't afford to live there is always gonna be an elephant in the room for this type of discussion. It will always be a -1 I think.

That does remind me. My friend sent me this video — and I normally would shrug it off but he’s a bit of a conservative so it’s interesting he agreed with this sentiment: Overall I find it hard to argue with. The seaport lacks cheap housing, trolleys and trains, nice brick buildings with ivy...

I think someone was saying earlier the road grade is not compatible with rail. Could be wrong

That would do it. I suppose sometimes the crowding of the lines kind of fools me

Posting this while stuck on the 69 bus in bumper to bumper traffic. Urban ring is provided for reference. Has this ever been proposed? I feel like if Cambridge were much denser this would be the perfect Manhattan-esque pair of spine routes (along with Red) for the city. You’d probably have to...

Will note that there is extant bus service between Dover Portsmouth and Durham by UNH. There’s also the COAST bus. My mom lived in Portsmouth and took the UNH bus to commute to school. There is or was a real demand for service, but those cities have become extremely suburbanized including Portsmouth
