For some of the major intersections (3/I-95, 3-I-495), I think that dropping a lane at the intersection in the main highway, and removing the need for a merge for incoming traffic could make traffic better, but would seem to make the merge safer. At least 1/3 of the traffic moves around at these...

Arajet announces Boston-Santo Domingo (DR) flights 4xweekly, starting November. Source

This is a special schedule for the 250th Celebration for April 19, 2025 - a one day schedule for people wanting to get to Concord. Maybe South Acton is the nearest place to turn a train around?

In an article about UBER shuttles to JFK, they are in talks with Logan airport as well. "Uber said it’s currently in talks with Boston’s Logan International Airport about bringing its shuttle service there."

PORTSMOUTH — C&J Bus Lines announced Thursday it is expanding the frequency of its daily service from its New Hampshire Seacoast stations to Logan International Airport in Boston. Every 30 minutes - during peak hours.

As a family of 5, we used off airport parking till we started using Logan Express - Havent gone back, but we also try not to book itenaries that would come in too late. It does work for families. Locations on 495 would be good too, maybe one in Lowell? Have taken the Boston Express from...

There are Applegreens on I-90 in upstate NY that have Chick-Fil-A and Panera. I once waited more than an hour on a weekday evening at that Panera. That place on a Sunday would not be fun.

I always thought that once the ADU rule was law, I would build a detached ADU in my lot, and rent it out. It makes a lot of sense - It would cost me maybe 200 K, but the rent would easily be > 2000. An economical no brainer, if I decide to stay put in Groton. But part of me wants to bolt to a...

How much money goes down the drain in studies like this where the outcome is pre-ordained? Not asking rhetorically - would we know?

What if the state plans to increase income tax if the feds have significant cuts, and match the timelines of the cuts? For example, if the Feds cut the rate by 5%, the state has a 2% increase?

This is less then 5 miles from Littleton station,

Flying out of Logan today, and was purchasing Logan Express Tickets: FRAMINGHAM - Parking is full BRAINTREE - Parking is full WOBURN - Overflow parking in effect. This is the one I use, so Im fine. This is not a busy travel weekend - not sure what gives.

IMHO, on the line I am most familiar with, the Fitchburg line, Parking should be increased at Littleton - as the station is already in the middle of nowhere, non-drivers arent going to get there, and it used to get full before the first express pre-pandemic. Ayer and Shirley, which are the...

Personally, I would think that better and also cheaper parking on the 495 belt would provide more bang for the buck, esp lowering parking cost for people who are anyways buying a CR ticket. Most of these towns have unlimited free parking for other purposes, so the parking fees feels more onerous.

For Newport, I dont think people drive around once they get there, the shuttle service is pretty nice, and free during summer.

Maybe not additional lanes, but make highways more efficient? Most highways in eastern - central Massachusetts are fine, IMHO, EXCEPT at intersections. It is the backup at intersections that leads to the increase in travel times. And the fixes, at least to a civil engineering layman like me...

I use Woburn location frequently, and it is starting to fill up a bit. Do we know how many people transfer from CR to Silver Line to Airport at South Station? I could see other use cases where the CR to NS to Airport link would be helpful: for employees at the airport and airlines, and also for...

^^ The school spring break.

Another "always busy" section, sometimes even at 1 AM is I90 between I290 and I84.

Wasnt there a blurb about generally being unconcerned about highway expansions if the intent was to support smoother intestate commerce? Its not just this piece, but traffic from northern New England that goes down all the way to Washington DC area currently has to flow through a bunch of...
