Re: W Hotel I watched them build that thing across the street from the T HQ and was nervous everytime their crane swung huge payloads over the state transportation building. Pay it a visit, corner of Tremont and Stuart St. I can't put my finger on it, but it's in the middle of the theatre...

Green line on the street itself (in non self-contained right of way) moves only as fast as the traffic surrounding it. If you want to see what this is like, take a ride of the Boston College line. When I had to travel out that way I chose to ride my bike even though I'd get to work sweaty it...

A Scheidt & Bachmann system. http://www.scheidt-bachmann.com/en/home/ From what was explained to me at the MBTA you can take the CharlieCard and use at some supermarket in Germany, it should work because it's all by S&B. It would do the conversion of US$ to Euro and withdraw that from the RFID.

Re: China's above traffic - Straddling bus technology There was hoax talk? It sort of reminds me of a gantry crane. Since I posted, I started thinking about bridges in this state. They're kind of low. This might require three story high clearances below such bridges. This might be something...

China's above traffic - Straddling bus technology This might work on some of the highways leading into Boston. I think it could give people an almost vertigo type feeling when driving underneath it though. Sort of like the sensation one gets walking forward in a bus or train that begins...

North needs a subway line. Something like a subway line north of Airport from the Blue Line (open for suggestion) that would head southwest to Wellington Station (Orange Line) connection, on to Medford Square and curving around to connect to the new Green Line route to Tufts Univ. The line...

#5 looks reminds me of two building one, located along McGrath Highway perpendicular to Lechmere T Station busway. The building was rennovated in relatively recent history. There's by chance another building on McGrath Highway a bit further down near the Artiste's complex directly across from...

Re: North-South Rail Link The will power has to exist for day-lighting springs and rivers covered. When asked about "daylighting" some of the burried small streams somewhere around Fresh Pond (between there and towards Alewife Brook below the Fitchburg Line) the city of Cambridge said that...

As someone that had a family member as a toll taker, some of the redesigns would allow Newton Corner people to ride the pike for free. There's no toll at Newton Corner, so those people have their tabs caught-up at Allston/Brighton tolls for eastbound or Weston-tolls if getting on westbound at...

That's one of the plans of sorts. A bus tunnel going next to the Charles Hotel to bypass that chronic traffic laden intersection at Memorial Drive/JFK Street/North Harvard Street. It is supposed to travel underground between the Kennedy School and Charles Hotel go under the Charles River and...

I don't believe they own the mall. The parcel you're talking about is called "Arsenal On The Charles". The only unit of Harvard I know of there is the printery for Harvard Business School. You may have seen the shuttles from time to time in Harvard Square. They pickup in front of the Charles...

Interesting but you must consult Harvard University which purchased the land below The Pike. View their 50 year plan for the B school and Allston area in general." -- Boston Officials Decry Land Deal Harvard purchases Allston parcel that includes turnpike, rail yard By ALEX L. PASTERNACK...

Surely there MUST be some antique clause in the City Government charter which says you must forfeit your seat after so many days off/away office or the job?

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos Massachusetts is beginning to get the 'cream of the crop' in terms of a transit workers. :-) Everyone who could leave and get a better job in the private sector did.

If they rebuild the Liquid Natural Gas terminal on one of the far outer harbor islands, they can remove some of the threat to the city and free up the coast guard to move. Once that is done they would no longer need to be around there all the time to have armed perimeters along Charlestown and...

F.Y.I. The Lechmere Viaduct has a drawbridge in it too. ( Street view --- > https://maps.google.com/?ll=42.367137,-71.069182&spn=0.000476,0.000708&t=h&z=21&layer=c&cbll=42.367137,-71.069182&panoid=wazYB6RJ59K2U022j-DD9g&cbp=12,43.05,,0,-8.35 ) Not sure if it is still functional though...
