    Crazy Transit Pitches

    Just doing the Auburn-East Brookfield section should be a big improvement over what's there now, and some other minor improvements should get you pretty close to 90mins. Would require 110-120mph running though.

    Kendall Common ( née Volpe Redevelopment) | Kendall Sq | Cambridge

    Probably not. I mean ,Hudson Yards is bigger and more valuable. On the other hand, Kendall Square is one of the tightest markets in the country, after Midtown NY and SF/SV.

    SBWTC /South Boston Waterfront Transportation Center | Seaport

    Re: SBWTC /South Boston Waterfront Transportation Center/Seaport/ S Boston I will never not be amazed that concrete piles can be pile-driven without shattering.

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium Yeah, Hartford's doing just swell, with a city funded baseball field that's currently a year late. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkin%27_Donuts_Park

    Commuter Rail Reconfiguration

    It is, as the article notes, in the works for a couple years. That article, is also 6 months old, not exactly breaking news. Furthermore, P&W, which owns the tracks between Worcester and almost-Providence, was bought last summer after that article was published, and it does not seem that BSR has...

    Acela & Amtrak NEC (HSR BOS-NYP-WAS and branches only)

    Re: Groton and Stonington Grade Crossing Elimination If this one truly needed to go, it could be addressed by extending Salt Acres road. Ironically, the current google imagery caught a car on the Elihu Island road crossing.

    At the least Wynn is going to pull all the levers it can to get it to the casino.

    New and Expanded Highways

    I'm not aware of any DDI's in CT. Are you referring to the SPUI in Trumbull? CTDOT did have to significantly increase the width of the Rt111 bridge over the Merritt Parkway in Trumbull when they converted it from a regular diamond to a SPUI.

    Dover also salted over that ROW with a railtrail.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    So what's going to happen to the old 01800's? Will they just be scrapped, or will there be some resale value for them? Keep a couple for work vehicles?

    Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail (South Coast Rail)

    Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail Probably one of the reasons the gap in Falls River was never closed was because of the height difference between the waterfront tracks and the end of the tracks on the Quequechan River. Near as I can tell, it'd be a 130' drop over 3/4 of a mile, with no...

    Cambridge Crossing (NorthPoint) | East Cambridge/Charlestown | Cambridge/Boston

    Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) Even in NY, DOB permits only reflect the height to the highest occupied floor. Mechanical penthouses, crowns and other architectural features are usually left off the total.
