An example of #1 would be extending the seaport transitway under D street.

Southside OLX starts with the Needham GLX nibbling away at the end of the Needham CR with +1/mode flips until all that's left are the Roxbury stations. Then blitz the conversion of the remaining stations. I'm not sure how much it's worth to keep the Needham line going for OLX +1's when the...

I always thought that the Lincoln Square Tunnel should be used for access to underground parking for whatever's built on this block.

Woof. That puts the CitySquare residential to shame.

Unfortunately there's a new apartment building just built snugged up to the tracks in Elizabeth so that reasonable fix just got messier.

Carrying the Griffins extension even further.. If MassDOT continues to be lax in reassembling the Armory line on the Mass. side, what are the prospects of extending the Griffins line another 2 miles along the CLP ROW to the Farmington line, and reactivating that into Westfield to use as the...

Incredibly, Google Earth seems to think that the Fall River leg of SCR has been completed for some time now, albeit via Somerset.

The exposed rebar studs will probably be grouted into the matching holes on the lintel, locking it to the piers.

I'm talking about the string of * Open Space parcels on the north side of the Hop River

Finally found a map of the ROW that Connecticut acquired for teh highway extension from Bolton to Willimantic, on OpenRailwayMaps of all places. The curves aren't straight noung for full blown 200mph+ HSR, but look to be good for 100-120mph speed service...

Why not? Because the canal is already buried through there...

Yes. They'd need to fix the narrow and curvy viaducts in Seymour and Naugatuck too. I'm amazed at how they were able to squeeze the existing Seymour viaduct in without too much disruption(not having any shoulders helps!). A new viaduct would have to cross teh river by the Stop and Shop...

Not to mention the rather steep portal has been eliminated too.

Omg, orderly traffic flow in Kelly Square?

Any realignment proposal would definitely go through hell in the EIS with all the wetlands it would impact. The cursed NECFuture proposal had the southeast CT bypass starting here, maintaining the arrow straight western approach on an oblique bridge across the river. The head banging issue to me...

I'm gonna nominate the renovated Wollaston Station for baking in the single track Old Colony Line for another 50+ years.

Oh, they're not touching the part of the hill we used for sledding;)

Yeah, those stairs were a pain. The students are going to love having an indoor path to get up the hill in the winter, that's for sure. As an aside, it doesn't actually look like they've dug much out of the hill; that section was already dug out for the parking lot.

Like in Springfield, the rail lines already separated Shrewsbury St from the rest of Downtown. And before the railroad, it was the Blackstone Canal separating it. With that said, there is at least the draw of Union Station to help bridge the gap. The station is surprisingly well connected for...

That expressway section of US 5 existed before I91, so it definitely did have a purpose at one point as part of the main north/south through route. I91 was originally planned to run along the US 5 alignment, but Springfield lobbied to have it on the east bank instead...
