Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos That's what the point of the MBTA'S Advisory Board is/was. http://www.mbtaadvisoryboard.org/about-us/ (Quote) The chief elected official of each of the 175 cities and towns in the district, or his or her designee, is a voting member. Each...

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos The MBTA is effectively bankrupt. It should be shut down completely then just completely re-constituted brand new within the state constitution and begun again as a brand new company "MBTA 2016 Ltd." Cut out all the waste, more oversight. Just start...

I watched it go up.... Those walls are plywood. If they only have one little fire I would be praying hard for those occupants..... I think the city should BAN the use of so much plywood in a multi-unit dwelling like this. It is practically a chimney.

That's how it looks now..... Heading toward North Cambridge is at the upper left. Heading toward 93 and Medford is at the lower left. Heading toward Lexington is the right-hand side... The one one street coming from Alewife which uses the old Fitchburg Cuttoff is coming from the left in the...

I would proposed the 72 route be extended into Watertown crossing the 73, 71, and 70/70A routes and then perhaps circling the Watertown Arsenal before returning northward. The 74 from Harvard I would have continue down Pleasant Street, Belmont into the Trapelo Rd. area you spoke of and into the...

One area that would have worked well is Route 2 running along what is currently the Fitchburg Commuter Rail from Alewife underneath Porter Square, beside Somerville Ave, below Union Square in Somerville and below McGrath Highway to near North Station. It would have taken a lot more traffic off...

The Interstate system wasn't only- for moving people it was officially the "National System of Interstate and Defense Highways". It was also to allow the U.S. military to be deployed around the country more easily during W.W.II. Esp. military around Fresh Pond, Watertown Arsenal, Weymouth Base...

Re: Boston to Cape rail According to the news segment on WBZ, the bridge will be tolled and will be as a public-private sector road. In terms of a tunnel, it could be done offsite like the third harbor tunnel and in terms of cost a quick google search says the widest spot of the Cape Cod Canal...

Re: Boston to Cape rail I saw that too. IMO I feel the state should instead build a tunnel as opposed to another bridge to the Cape. For one. Whenever there is a badd storm, the Cape is completely isolated from the mainland. The bridges are both usually closed in high-winds. At least with...

Re: MBTA & Regualr Driving may be Shut Down During Coming Snowstorm! Or long term the MBTA could sell aerial rights over their outdoor tracks for multi story commercial buildings. Buildings similar to what you'd see in Kendal Square with parking garages next to those buildings. The only...

Re: Dr. Beverly Scott resigns I'm glad she only stuck around the 2 years so-as to not be Baker's whipping girl. Romney's crap is now beginning to surface. Lets see how much better Baker does with his pick. The MBTA is still the most indebted transit authority in the country since all of...

All it might take is a badd storm to flood Logan. Look at it next time you're taking off or landing. It looks hardly above the highwater mark. I'm not talking about Logan being perpetually under water. I'm talking about if the storm which flooded Manhattan had hit Boston Harbor instead.

Re: MBTA & Regualr Driving may be Shut Down During Coming Snowstorm! Dump all the snow in the Boston Harbor instead of just pushing it all around.

Have aerial stations along the median of route 128, with pedestrian bridges to either side of the highway. (And include extra bridge length on either side of the highway incase there's a future plan to widen the highway in between. Somewhat similar to the Kennedy Expressway in Chicago... Also...

The Route 128 Business Council ( www.128bc.org ) does have a bus along the Route 2 -- Waltham portion of Route 128. I used to work for a company out there that was a member and rhode it daily. It goes from Alewife. (express) to busiesses in Lexington along Route 2. Then it crosses over Route...

Re: MBTA & Regualr Driving may be Shut Down During Coming Snowstorm! No, they wont operate only underground portions. If the entire line was underground there's be no reason to shut down subway, but any time a train on MBTA needs to 'reverse direction' all trains on the entire line must be...

If even due to sea level rise. Worcester is nice and high up. The current airport is likely to be underwater. Therefore it makes more sense to invest in Worcester airport since a huge storm like what hit New York last year might have put Logan underwater. Next time you're in a plane look at...

Monorail is a good idea. They're far more cost effective than heavy/light rail which must be high-quality steel (no cost savings there based on global steel prices) That costs a LOT of money to manufacture and constantly needs to be changed due to usage/friction. Monorail, all it requires is...

Re: MBTA & Regualr Driving may be Shut Down During Coming Snowstorm! Would be nice if more of the train system was underground, then it wouldn't matter. If that were the case the just the buses could shut down. However, with soo much rail (and "light" rail) above ground and no express tracks...
