I read the Corps EIS too. There was literally zero justification given for selecting the trestle alternative over the causeway. The closet the report gets is a single line reference; "A trestle section is proposed in Easton and Raynham to minimize environmental impacts to the Hockomock Swamp...

Literally has the oldest hardware store in the country. Wait crud, Elwood Adams Hardware closed in 2017. oops

It still seems ridiculous that the four elevators have to be spread through two separate headhouses.

Yup, a very gneiss piece.

Didn't expect to see WPI there.

Hmm. According to the Google earth DEM, the grade extends to about where the Home Depot is. I assumed it went farther.

A new stop can't go next to the casino because of the grade for the Mystic River bridge, supposedly. It seems like it would be much more effective pushing for another extension of the Silver line through to Sullivan. Thinking ultra long term, now would be the time to (p)reserve a north/south ROW...

Personally, I prefer elevating the commuter tracks a little further so they can clear the Framingham Secondary and CP yard access. Hopefully it would be a bit cheaper than having to elevate the CP yard and Framingham Secondary approaches too, while getting the most gain from grade separating the...

Wonder if they're using the agreement with CTRail for cross honoring of tickets as the template for the program.

Perhaps it's something that was discussed here before; that the shelters look like they're designed more for shade rather than protector from precipitation?

What is irksome on the walk to Sullivan along Broadway is the bridge pier for 93 that blocks half the sidewalk.

That diagram needs to be posted everytime BLX is brought up.

^That proposal(Tower Fifth[more like tower filth]) is pretty much dead now, at least.

If the AK RR gets a chunk, some of it will probably go to the Tanana Bypass and realigning the mess around Fort Wainwright too.

Ships like those have lots of ballast tanks to remain stable and such.

I wonder when the next building in Gateway Park will be done.

CTDOT just released the 'TIME FOR CT – Faster trains and travel time improvements in CT' proposal, mostly focusing on the state of repair/eat your peas kind of stuff that F-line likes. It's still a little disappointing that despite purportedly being just released, it's written citing projects...

I suppose it's more understandable when you consider that Watertown used to have one as the A-Line.

If one of the decks of the Tobin ever got converted to RT, it would be perfect to add a stop at the former plaza to serve this tower, no?

Isn't the Pike going to have to go back to 4 lanes at some point? That's gong to shorten it up again.
