I can definitely at least attest to the space constraints of Wally b. There’s a whole basketball court and dorm on top of it.

Am I crazy or is this (Nortth station northbound) sign new?

It's weird how certain people just "get" to be in positions of power like that. I would be happy to for example, be a university president, chair an important nonprofit, have a high ranking MBTA position, and lots of others here would too. And I'd happily take 1/10 the salary these guys command...

Walter brown would be great but I was told that the “media facilities” are subpar. Which I find funny, I mean you go to a basketball game and there’s 20 guys playing on their laptops in court side seats — is that what we want? My vision for the pwhl would be it would be a sport that people go to...

I have submitted the short form proposal

Has the MBTA ever considered painting rails white to help with heat dilation? It is apparently standard practice in some European countries. I could see this being useful at Lechmere to keep speeds up. People were saying it can reduce the track temperature by up to 10F I know doing something...

I appreciate someone trying to solve that BU bridge riddle, but I'm not sure if all of those routings work. We've had a couple debates on this forum about how to do it in the past. RE: A branch bike lanes, obviously we care about trains more than bikes. Not sure why this is a question.

Wouldn’t it be a boon if they locked in financing at a low interest rate…?

If we get these done on a lot of former rows with wide streets, and staff experiences some kind of learning curve with continuing to roll them out, bus riders and activists will clamor for them I hope. Need to change the image of bus lanes from being double parking lanes to being cool and...

Would like if they audited the project management structure that causes cost blowouts... don't care so much about auditing ops. If anything we need more money for actual employees not consultants.

Anecdotal, but I just went over at full speed right now.

I would say HVAC wise the number of zones is not so much a barrier. It would not be accurate to say a single floor of an office building is a single zone, you have a building main shaft and it gives you for example 5,000 cfm per floor of outdoor air (random number). What defines a zone is that...

I can speak to this a little. I lived in Hoboken for two months. My options to get to NYC were A) PATH. 15 min walk or local bus, extremely hot and sweaty. A bit slow. Frequencies are bad off peak B) Path bus. I preferred this one since I am not afraid of busses and it would pick me up from...

downeaster equipment move today

Dunno, that looks like an attractive urban street to me. That MBTA has figured out separated BRT is a miracle and something we can brag about to other cities. As a cyclist I'm OK with not having a bike lane here -- the next step would be to make cars a guest on the corridor and have...

That study is a little sad. I liked the proposals people had here of digging underground for grand junction and then using a modular station design.

Can’t believe this developer wants to disturb this rural sparsely populated village.

To give people an idea... they own the whole block minus that building. It's 76 Ashford, track and tennis center, BU Vending/Mail services, and then the band room/athletics offices/crew room. Per the master plan they want that whole block (you're looking at site T). They also want the star...

Park seems lovely but… what the heck is that road on the left? Road city over there

This smells of land banking… this building overlooks BU’s aging track and tennis center and it’s likely they couldn’t stand the idea of something going up next to it
