Railroad.net MBTA page under Orange Line Past thread, you can find several Haymarket North extension pdfs posted by a member. Really cool archival brochures about the whole project. You may find what you’re looking for.

Everyone knows it’s November 2023, right?

Haha no seemingly not. Medford added one a couple years ago to Lawrence Road by the intersection with Forest Street. Grove Street has had one for quite a while near Jackson Road.

Any initial reports about the operation of the North Station fare gates this weekend ? Especially on more likely to be unaware weekend travelers vs the weekday rush hour (i.e. daily/regular commute) crowd?

No you have it backwards. No hurricane since 1991 (Bob) just means the likelihood of the next one here continues to increase. Since historical records (which isn’t that long in a statistical sense), New England has averaged one hurricane strength landfall per decade. Thirty-one years is quite...

Today saw the North Station fare gates turned on and a Keolis worker actively testing the functionality.

I guess I jinxed it!

MassDOT released their bike routes for alternative OL service. https://www.mbta.com/news/2022-08-18/massdot-releases-bicyclist-guide-ahead-orange-line-closure-beginning-august-19 Specific inbound and outbound routes...

Seems like the state really listened to community concerns and made adjustments that will increase the likelihood of adoption. I still think the grants programs that will be withheld for noncompliance aren’t significant enough punishment to influence the wealthier communities to adopt new...

Also no mention of Community Path in press release. Wonder if that gets pushed to spring 2023…

Recent public feedback at a Better Bus Project forum in the State Transportation Building. Mostly criticism of Somerville & Fenway bus route changes...

The perfect example of one lane marked but treated as two lanes is this stretch of Rt. 3A in Burlington between Mall Road and Rt. 62 (Wilmington St.). At each signalized intersection along the stretch, marked with solid white line as two lanes. However, outside them no dashed white lines to be...

Thanks

Why are Tracks 11 and 12 not connected at North Station? Guessing North Station massively overhauled as part of “Shawmut Center” arena construction in mid-90’s. Only bringing it up because of the north side signal system work starting shortly plus the NS draw replacement to a six track solution...

Another sign of GLX progress is that the speed restriction on the Lowell Line has been nonexistent on both morning inbound evening outbound trips through GLX the past two days.

Oh geez I meant High, not Salem Street 🙄. Let’s just call it Route 60 😁. Yes that is the exact danger zone. You are right the interactive has the 94 curving around High to Boston St like it does now vs cutting through via Harvard Ave. But that Playstead angle, better illustrated in this map, is...

My few thoughts: The 90 route seems way too long and disparate. I get the goal to connect Chelsea and Arlington with a one stop ride to Assembly but seems like this would make more sense as two bus routes with Assembly as the hub. The new 100 routing west of I-93 I can’t make sense of...

The MBTA Bus Network Redesign proposal just dropped. So much information to pour through. Enjoy! https://www.mbta.com/projects/bus-network-redesign/update/bus-network-redesign-proposal

Yeah just go through Bell Circle instead, there’s no traffic there 😂😂
