    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    So the slides are up and it appears that the Harvard "Flip" puts more emphasis on the Grand Junction than previous iterations. What would this do to prospects for the Urban Ring? https://www.mass.gov/files/documents/2019/05/21/Allston_FMCB_052019.pdf

    That was their stated intent from the very beginning of the entire project.

    MBTA Fare System (Charlie, AFC 2.0, Zone, Discounts)

    I have to imagine that AFC 2.0 on the commuter rail will come with a restructuring of the monthly pass system. My guess is that the days of unlimited rides will be over. A monthly pass would probably be a debit account with enough for about 20 round trips at a commuted rate (the origin of...

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    The New Chardon Street main entrance to the the GC Garage is now closed. It is moved to Bowker Street which I believe is the new permanent entrance? Also, very heavy duty scaffolding/debris fall protection erected above Bowker. I expect a lot of activity here soon.

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    A lot of scaffolding going up on the New Chardon side of the project. Does not appear related to residential. Is the drum ramp about to come down?

    MBTA Red Line / Blue Line Connector

    The T did this with the Red Line Braintree extension. There was an extra token to get in and a token to exit up until the advent of Charlie Cards as I recall. The catch with this project is that it is a transfer station. The benefit come from people who are already entered into the T system. Do...

    MBTA Red Line / Blue Line Connector

    Submitting comments is free. I absolutely agree with you in principle but the reality of it is that the T didn't want to do it in the first place, and they will continue to drag as their default position. This will be very low on their TIP list and they will make sure it stays there. All the...

    MBTA Red Line / Blue Line Connector

    It took substantial contributions from Somerville and Cambridge to push GLX over the line. This is a smaller lift that could really benefit from private contributions. I would advocate that the T or MassDOT establish an interest bearing trust fund for contributions to the project. I would...

    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    Re: North-South Rail Link Forced to do it by lawsuit. Tried typical strategy of making it overwhelmingly overpriced in order to kill it. See: Red/Blue connector. Almost worked for GLX as well.

    10 World Trade | BGI Office Tower (Massport Parcel A2) | Seaport

    Re: Massport Parcel A2 | Seaport Appears to sit directly above the Silver Line Transitway. Would be a lot cooler if it contributed $ to T under D instead of "cultural space". Second entrance to Silver in the building would be nice too.

    Re: North-South Rail Link With the Foxboro extension pilot, you could probably include Gillette. Patriots trains from the North Shore would not be far fetched at all.
