I advocated for this routing during the SL process. You needn't have a stop at Sullivan as you can do OL at Com College

So, Teddie would have been president?😉

The same mentality that justifies spending $5M to study and design a simple single platform station in Palmer

Do you have a cite for your assertion? A discussion with an admittedly junior official within the last three years says otherwise.

There is 8.5 miles of single track between Stony Brook and Nashua. A Nashua only run could be relatively cheap, as track upgrades and some bridge rebuild would be needed, but that 30 min service would not unduly tax the capacity. Signal upgrades will probably cost more. Three simple single...

This is the idea for Waltham!

CtDOT spends even more per station, so not the best justification. Our cost per station, north of 40M per, is keeping us from achieving RR. Just once, I would like to see a station built for the same money, adjusted for inflation, that the Fairmount ones were, or that Littleton was.

There is absolutely no reason for 800ft platforms anywhere on the North Side. Ridership doesn't come close to justify them. Even with RR, the increase in frequency means that each train would probably carry the same number of people, even with greatly increased ridership. And if the only...

The complicating factor is that we are talking about the T.

It's about more than buses, it's about tying the two neighborhoods together So, I'm under the impression that Harvard wants to deck over the highway and the tracks, creating a new "ground" floor comparable with the BU side.

The bridge is NOT getting "replaced", it's getting repaired.

Or we could just end the security theater and go back to what we did for 100 years

This IS old news

I have been noticing that myself

So, I keep reading that the bridges are "functionally obsolete". Are they dangerous, or just carrying too much traffic? Would a combination of ferries, buses(perhaps with lanes?) and trains be a cheaper solution? I think of all the cars parked at the ferry lots that could either not be there at...

The 3(4?) trains per DAY on the PAS are delayed by the one hourly pax train on a double track line? What is an acceptable level of interaction?

And so inadequate accessibility is condoned, letting the perfect be the excuse for either inaction or god awful minihighs.

Auburndale W Newton Newtonville All single platforms stations on double track. You are overcomplicating provisions for what would be at best, one tph each direction.
