Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 This is Boston, not Cleveland. Seriously, what about looping all Green Line trains at GC and making North Station and Haymarket completely high platform? The B & D lines already turn there anyway.

Those buses are Massport's, and they'll still need them for inter-terminal travel, economy and employee parking, and Harborside Drive.

SEPTA does run to Trenton and West Trenton, as well as DE. MARC doesn't go to VA but it does go to WV. They tend not to go too far over the border, but there is a lot of multi-state cooperation in commuter rail.

I think the zipper lane hurts. You give the peak direction another lane to jam up by taking a lane from the off-peak direction, causing that side to jam up as well. At least this is what I see every time I'm driving there during rush hour. Your results may vary. I'd love to see breakdown lanes...

You're gonna need 2 runways. Better take the Esplanade, too.

Too bad they can't integrate the Ferdinand's site into the Dudley improvements. Not like anyone else is using it. And what's with the Ohio ARRA sign?

Is this it? It's not the whole state but it's the best I could find.

Which cities don't? I don't think municipalities can have a local option on the general sales tax. They can on meals and lodging.

Rail isn't that unusual. Look at Chicago. Bikes on the other hand... you couldn't pay me enough to ride a bike on a road where cars are going 75, even if there's a breakdown lane in between! Back on topic, kinda: I always thought the TWT should've been at least 3 tubes wide. Could've used the...

Interstates are required to be 2 lanes in each direction with a 10' wide breakdown lane. However, underwater tunnels are exempt from having a standard size breakdown lane because of cost. The complete standards are in AASHTO DS-5, but I'm not paying $24 for it.

You think 50 billion would be enough? And will I be guaranteed that I won't arrive at my destination with my head on backwards?

They're based in Pittsburgh.

This is the kind of gold that brings me here. I for one think City Hall Plaza should stay as is. It makes a hell of a skate park in its current form.

There is no unincorporated land in Massachusetts.

And all this time I thought that was Christian Menn. Guess you learn something new every day.

Perhaps the Zakim comparison is accurate. Turns out the architect of this bridge is from Boston.

I moved down to Greenville from Boston last year. I can say that Main St/Falls Park (which is where all those shots were taken) is very nice and usually has a decent number of people, especially on weekends. Unfortunately, the rest of the city needs some work. And forget about going car-free...
