I wasn't sure if this is better for the new orange/red line cars or here. If this is in the wrong place, please let me know In the new capital investment plan, there is $1.6 billion allocated for revenue vehicles. Of that, over 1 billion is already set aside for funded projects. Does the $566...

More good news for the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail in Acton and Concord. I was driving through Acton the other day to visit family and I saw that early bridge work has started on route 2A. The giant piles of rail ties are all cleared, utility relocation is complete, and they are 75% done with...

I think that this project becomes a lot more valuable when you consider the comm ave project that is going to add protected bike lanes and intersections. I wonder if/how they will tie these two project together. I don't think I've seen an intersection in the us that has a two way protected bike...

I think that deetroyt brought up a great point about the community path. The need for it goes down dramatically for it after the medford street branch off from McGrath if McGrath will look like the current renders. I would be fine with the GLX team cutting the community path after where it meets...

This. Looks. Amazing. I wish that there is a way to do both glx and this at the same time. I'm excited for this one whenever we build this

Re: Pier 4 Office-Condo Building| Seaport we already have a thread for this: http://www.archboston.org/community/showthread.php?t=4960&page=5 you should put this update in that thread

Thanks (as always) for the detailed response. I'm disappointed that the T did not have a CTBC plan its recent red/orange car purchase. It really looks like that was the best chance the t will have to begin to a slow crawl towards CBTC. Would these cars be easier to convert to CBTC since they...

I apologizing for bumping an old thread, but I have a question that has been bothering me for a bit and with the recent draft of the CIP, I think it is worth discussing In the draft of the CIP unveiled on 3/16 at an MBTA FCMB meeting, MaassDot outlined a possible $1.08 billion budget for...

Re: T construction news This does not bode well for the future of the brand new government center stop

If you are using chrome, tap control, shift, and n at the same time. Control n is new window but adding shift makes it incognito. Makes it so much easier to get to the globe

Thinking about it, I'm really not a fan of this design. Just about every design imaginable will improve the third world station and soul crushing parking garage. I think that the twisted building would look so much better if it was more balanced. I like the staggered floor layout, I just dislike...

reading the pnf now here are some early takeaways - breaks ground mid 2017 - 26 story building just west of the station, reconstructed gagrage - 28 story building on the east of the station - 34 story building over current ventilation towers - some ground floor retail - pelli designed -...

Re: South Station Tower when Boeing moved to Chicago in the early 2000s, Deloitte increased their chicago office to meet the new needs. This is something that I have some insider knowledge on.From the sounds of it, GE is doing a similar relo to Boeing in the sense that it is only 800ish top...

The new 5 year capital plan for Massdot was kinda unveiled today. We now know that 80% of the agency's capital plan will go for modernization of infrastructure. The part relevant to the accelerated bridge program is: http://patch.com/massachusetts/boston/massdot-mbta-spending-plans-numbers-0...

Thanks! that makes a lot more sense.

So is massdot just responsible to tearing it down, adding a headhouse/other t improvements, and rebuiliding it? Is the dcr is responsible for the cycle tacks and the traffic circles after massdot is done? When can we expect to use the protected bike lanes?

Even if it is Sept 30 or early next year, it is a different timeline than they presented in the october meeting, unless I am reading something wrong. Can anyone explain why the october meeting has phase 1 (the modern roundabouts and roadway between) starting construction in the fall of next...

Re: Government Center Redesign Boston is a scenic city compared to other american cities. In lots of spots (pier 4, aquarium parking garage spot) a farris wheel maybe could work to see the water. I cannot think of a worse spot than city hall plaza have a farris wheel. The views are going to be...

Re: North-South Rail Link After looking at the rendering of this, I am a bit confused. Would N/S rail replace north and south station or be in addition to them? Why would this lead to increased frequencies compared to just shortening the turnaround time and expanding south station? Would the...

So what is the process and time-frame changes such as the bus lanes? I saw that they want to have a final report done in October of this year. But after that, where does this study go because some of these changes are great and should be implemented asap?
