With an RFP being developed for DOT parcels 25-27, it seems like DOT should take a moment to look into the feasibility of extending the greenline through the Tremont st tunnel and into the silver line transit way. The two routes discussed on these boards are along Hudson street and through these...

http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2006/02/10/new_silver_line_plan_offered_stirring_critics/?page=full I see from a google search a portal on Essex was briefly discuss right before Silver Line 3 was cancelled. I was thinking Essex would end at the 93 tunnel ramp at Surface Rd / Lincoln...

The biggest problem I see with the Silver line waterfront is that it only connects to the rest of the MBTA at south station. As a result nearly all of the large companies with offices in the Seaport pay to run shuttles from North Station, State Street and other points downtown to their offices...

Is the transitway bus turnaround above or below the central artery tunnel? If it is above it, are there reasons why the Davem routing could not portal out from underground south of Kneeland Street and travel at grade below the South Bay ramps and over passes and then portal back underground at...

Once the new route crosses fort point channel where would it exit the existing hov lane and have a seaport station? I assume this route would be in addition too and not connected to the existing silver line tunnel?

A bridge would be great but adds cost. From what I can gather (based off the 2012 Grand Junction Transportation Feasibility Study) the spur line which needs to be crossed sees one round trip freight train to the New England Produce Center each day. It seems like the cost of a bridge for that...

Taking a quick look at the current floor plans for most of the stations, it appears most stations have the same basic layout. There is 1) a site specific entry, 2) a large lobby with Charlie card vending machines and gates, 3) a very long corridor with 2 elevators, escalators, and stairs, and...

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium I think if the Krafts do pursue this stadium site it is quite likely that they would like to partner with the MBTA to provide train storage under the stadium / parking structures. This way the Krafts could get some public funds and at the same...

Don't build directly over the substation. A deck could be built at the bridge level. A deck does not need to built over a trench. The bridges are the ground plane of the pedestrian city at this area. The new deck gets built over the existing rail yard and makes its pedestrian connection to...

Could they not deck over the existing rail yards north of West Broadway and between the West Broadway and West 4th Street bridges? The deck would be at the same elevation as the bridges. The parcel north of West Broadway could fit a stadium. The Parcel between the two bridges could house an...
