https://mass.streetsblog.org/2024/12/30/new-trails-we-can-look-forward-to-in-2025 Mostly covers trails in the suburbs, but MassDOT seems to confirm groundbreaking in 2025 for the bridge.

I'm still a bit unclear after reading the article, both bills have passed both chambers and are ready for signature? Or were they just advanced out of Ways and Means for a future vote? I am pessimistic about the legislature's ability to get anything done so just want to confirm before having a...

Paywalled, but from the sub-header I wonder why only 85 out of the 435?

Is this indicating the North Bank Bridge will be closed for the 31 months during Phase 1? If so that is a problem for bike access from the Somerville Community Path.

I like this idea, but the site design sticks heavily to the MR zoning that applies to the parcel. The biggest fight with the neighborhood was getting it built with no parking, which was challenging enough to get approval. There is no way they would have even tried to get the corner zoned...

NSRL tunnels need to begin much further out than that for the grades to be adequate. The tunnel portals would be around Back Bay and Widett. A future proofed SSX would mean building a deep bore station, and at that point it would be easier to just build the link than make a bunch of stub ended...

I live down the street from here and I’m happy the liquor store is staying for now, will make for a more interesting corridor when it eventually does get developed. This forum talks all the time about small lot sizes making for more interesting urban form, if this was folded into the...

Yes there is one in my neighborhood and I‘ve used it a few times to go to Home Depot. It was my first time riding a cargo bike so there is a bit of a learning curve but it’s extremely useful and the app is easy to use. Interestingly the one near me is just parked in a person’s driveway. I wonder...

Is there anything actually being done on the GLX or is this only to get equipment in and for power reasons? Maybe still some work to be done on Lechmere viaduct since that still isn’t at its designed speed?

Are there moving walkways planned in the near term or is that in a future phase of the expansion. I did the E15 to customs walk a few weeks ago and it is extremely long.

My issue with it is that for grade separation they seemingly only looked at tunneling. My preferred mode would be automated light metro on a viaduct. Could mostly follow the ROW with a jaunt onto Vassar to bypass the MIT buildings, and would effectively build a small portion of the urban ring.

It was blocked off at the same time the surface work began. I agree it looks like it will go up quickly.

I don’t find that crossing to be too bad. It is a pretty instant red light when the beg button is hit and not a HAWK. Traffic calming and a road diet would probably be better use of funding than a bridge there, but the issue would be with getting DCR to cooperate.

Extremely important for anyone in this district (myself included) to vote Erika Uyterhoeven on September 3rd, and hopefully Decker will lose her primary in the 25th Middlesex.

I really cannot stand how uncomfortable the seating on the commuter rail is, and their only improvement for seating being “increased spacious seating” tells me it’s going to be the same awful seats and my lower back will be suffering for decades to come.
