I admit not having read the whole thread but does AFC 2.0 mean I can use apple pay or tap an actual credit card. No more Charlie card (if I don't want to use one)?

Yea, been testing at full schedule for two weeks now. No drop off at all and trains moving briskly!

I don't mind the look of these new buildings (except the air conditioner thing in BY) Sure they could be better but I like that they're avoiding the total glass curtain wall so far. There's plenty of that in CX/Kendall.

'it's taken 8 years and 12 different committees but this is the plan we've come up with and we're just going to persevere with it now. If you don't think its the most effective use of resources, please shout in to the void provided'

quick question, Is more street signage going to be put up? In particular I'm thinking about East Somerville. As far as I know the only entrance at the moment will be off Washington st. behind Cataldo but you'd really need to be paying attention to realize that's how you access the station!

I doubt the test trains will stop on Friday.

Just wondering if there's any plans to clean up the back of the old building. Is renovating it part of this project?

There was about a month of testing before the Sep 19 shutdown too.

Great news, thanks for sharing!

If anything, it'll help add to the case made to GLX or local politicians to get more info as to what's happening.

I guess Somerville was lumped in with Charlestown because of Sullivan but it seems more natural to group it with Cambridge, Thats a huge number of comments from those two towns. I'm happier anyway!

sound rational reasoning <expects the week to pass with no notification>

who's going all the way up there to take a photo through a chain link fence (bar a few on here :) )? The photo is either of 93 and MBTA yards or East Cambridge. I actually think, if the re working of McGrath is any good, one of the busiest commuter routes could be out of the city on Mcgrath and...

i Just can’t get my head around building a flawed amenity, knowing full well it’s flawed. I think from wallnut to CX it might work ok because no one will use it for recreation but I think walnut to the existing path will actually be dangerous. I’ll prob stick to bone shaking highland.

From twitter. I think the path is going to be an unusable mess

Also, I hope they're ready for the public backlash at the community path especially as the main entrance to Gilman sq.

yea, the removal of the site webcams was a clear sign that there was going to be no transparency when it came to this project.

yea, I saw a few test trains in the days after the GLX and OL reopened in late September but I haven't seen any in about a month. They do seem to be steadily making progress with the stations and community path. There was fairly regular testing in the month before the shutdown so I wonder if...

I'm not really arguing the toss between lab and office. I just think there's an opportunity here to build some nice town houses, some with store fronts on the ground floor and use them to hide some commercial interest in the space behind. It's not that difficult to create a nice street with lots...
