Kinda, but there's a huge asterisk for their weekend service as "operates the full route 7 days a week" is not correct. From their April 2025 pdf schedule, the weekend trips do not stop in Cambridgeport or North Station as they run a different route (their website allows you click into the...

I don't know if this is the right thread for this, but, I just got an email informing me of public meetings for the Article 80 updates (see this bostonplans page for the project, here and give feedback/attend a meeting if you'd like). Here's the link for their early actions supplement for...

Here's an excerpt of Longwood Collective's data from around 2022 with pre/post pandemic ridership. There's probably better data somewhere else but this is a starting-point. (From "Longwood Collective Annual Report FY22") It also has a blurb about specific routes, like the Fenway route being...

If I'm reading similar news from B&T, they're looking to do get approved for offsite affordable housing in order to move forward soon with the 600+ unit apartment buildings (instead of the previous 100 onsite affordable).

The esplanade association had a meeting on April 2nd and have posted the video of the meeting online to YouTube Continuing the information from my previous post, the Charlesbank Landing project is moving forward which is the reason for the move of the Temporary Ops Shed, and in the video they...

I walked by last Monday and Wednesday (April 28/30) and was surprised at how quickly things got underway and placed. I would not be surprised if they hit their target for the Summer 2025 opening. For example, if I recall properly, they were doing foundation/drainage/etc work on Monday and then...

I don't know how to describe this, maybe it's "trips generated by sq mile?" but it would be very cool to see how mode-shift or bus-number-shift occurs by making trips have a "lossy" start and end point of about 1/4 mile and show trends somehow via a map. (This is totally outside of my...

It would be interesting (and probably impossible to get it going so quickly) to do this along with the Draw One bridge project at North Station. I think they're going to keep all 4 tracks over the Charles running during weekdays and 2 tracks on the weekends during the construction of the bridge...

There's this report on Student Housing Trends in Greater Boston (2022) (PDF) (see edit below for 2023) which has a page on new student housing as of and planned in 2022. Might not be the most up-to-date, but a cool data-point nonetheless. EDIT: I should've googled a bit more...here's the...

During the MBTA board meeting (1/23), they talked about increasing speeds to 50mph on some of the Red Line (timestamp around 39:30) -- I believe they were talking about below JFK based on responses later. They mentioned: "we are within days of that being done...37-38 items were on that list...

If y'all want to read the report, here's the PDF: https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6765d7c41b9c09fbe21baa40/67867789858aa064f7dc65ce_TFTF Final Report 1.14.2025.pdf

The city-wide initiative is looking at fire stations too (boston.gov page) and here's a medium post of theirs where they mention fire stations as well. In that post they have a link to a Google Drive folder with a bunch of RFI responses to the Housing with Public Assets request. If you go to the...

Oh my god I was just trying to find data like this from FK4's mention of "making Galen St nice". I've worked on Galen Street and heavy trucks and tractor trailers use Galen Street all the time to and from the Pike and I assume it's just a more direct and large road to get to the Pike from...

I'm actually sometimes in the group of "riders going between subway station and car rental facility" when I cant use a local rental car office because rental car reservations are very popular for that time-frame or I need the 24-hr access of Logan (it does end up being more expensive due to the...

Yeah, damn. I think this would be a similar view today? The structure is always that size though, so it's always obstructing instead of sometimes obstructing in the below image. (taken from google maps images of Nashua St park)

That's what it seems like. Based on a picture from zombie reddit: Here's the link: mbta.com/lasttrip And from that link:

To me it feels like a bastard child of Lyrik in Back Bay's facade style and Parcel P (Foundation Medicine) in the Seaport's square windows (though there are probably better examples, but these came to mind first). I can't tell if I like it yet. Something feels uncanny-valley about the mashup of...

From the MBTA board meeting, here's the PDF for the MBTA Strategic Plan Annual Update for 2023-2024 (note, they made this PDF a bit wonky, so it's double-wide after the first page). Here you'll find what the MBTA has done for the year regarding their stated goals. Here's a screenshot from the...

I also don't know if you can find the actual studies. I've tried to look for these types of things before too. I'm unfamiliar with the state prior to moving here in ~2007 but from my quick rabbit hole dive you might be able to find some more "official" references to it on the State Library of...
