Equilibria, if you just left-click on each of those photos, they'll open in a much wider format, almost taking up the full screen.

If there were to ever be any serious consideration of Green/Red/Blue/Orange extensions in the future, does this current situation kill any chance of it, or would future extension proposals be taken seriously (assuming a re-bid/re-design occurs) only if this project is salvaged & executed...

Hey, here's an idea...let's get this thread back to GOVERNMENT CENTER STATION.

I think that's kind of the underlying message in what the poster has stated. As typical of most of modern-day American society, the opinion-based "cons" will be highlighted before ever admitting 1) the headhouse will look much better than the 50 year-old bunker structure, 2) the amount of light...

Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End Thank you! I thought I was the only one reading a number of threads on here that seem overly height-focused. Why "should" one embrace height as a density increaser? Is that subjective to what one's personal tastes...

Re: Fairmont Line Upgrade THIS!! Fantastically stated Java. At least with Fairmount, almost all of the line has the Zone 1A fare designation, so there's little need to compare ride cost with the subway...it's a valid option to consider (against the Ashmont branch), especially for those in...

I never said it wasn't. But neither you or I designed the new headhouse, nor will any criticism at this point alter the inevitable fulfillment of its design. (Again, refer to my "shoulda' woulda' coulda'" comment). Regardless, I assume my point will be lost/thrown by the wayside so that...

It must be nice to be psychic, and already know how something like this will pan-out over the next 20 - 30 years. And yet, here you and I are, still just on a message board...a great use of such psychic powers, indeed.

All these shoulda', woulda', coulda' responses are really oversaturating the thread. If it's "not", then too bad...design has been finished & construction is well underway. I wish focus would be on what it IS and WILL BE than what personal dreams it won't fulfill. This is a huge undertaking...

Re: Dr. Beverly Scott resigns Why, throughout all of this, hasn't his Big Dig financial role been highlighted? Did he not oversee a shift of at least $1.8 billion of the (then) $14 billion+ debt over to the MBTA? Wouldn't that be a big catalyst (though not the sole one) for the next 20 years...

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos Step 2B: When needing new fleet options, stop with the OVER-CUSTOMIZATION of cars. Start looking at off-the-shelf options across the board (bus/subway/Commuter Rail/future indigo), which will help: A) keep necessary custom specs short & to the...

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos No, I never called you an asshole...and I agree with you that there are truckers that indeed have that mentality. But there was no need to bring that mentality up before understanding this driver shouldn't have been grouped into it...because this...

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos No, I'm saying it's one thing to learn of protocol...it's another to find yourself in a potentially life-threatening situation & try to execute said protocol while under pressure like that. Let's see how calm & to-the-book you'd be if we stick you in...

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos That's great, but when you find yourself in a sudden emergency situation & you're not from anywhere around New England, looking for a sign might not be thought #1 for a driver like this guy.

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos When interviewed by NECN, the driver said as he was driving over the tracks the cab of his truck got stuck in snow on/around the tracks. He did try to reverse & proceed forward a few times but had no luck doing so. After some time, the crossing...

Not trying to be a back-end moderator, but GOVERNMENT CENTER rebuild info in this thread please...ADA compliance is a whole different topic.

Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail Yes fattony, many would. Boston might be the focal point of the North & South Shore, but is not necessarily that to those living in Taunton/Fall River/New Bedford/South Coast areas (as much as, believe it or not, Providence is). SCR would allow me the...

Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail First time poster, long time lurker (so be easy on me folks...put the SCR pitchforks down)... I've lived in Taunton for 8 years & Fall River for 4 years (from '06 - '10). I moved to Weymouth 4 years ago to buy out a family house with my wife & "set up...
