Only problem with your diagram. The plans in the Everett Transit Plan have the SL go up B'way to Malden Center, not go to Sullivan.

When I saw the mockups years ago.. I thought they were ugly. Now I see them live.. not too bad. I only wish all the shelters had sides. Oh well. I will ask the PM about that.

Hey All- It's time for another update. As always, lots and lots of progress. More smaller details this time. All the busway and street markings are done. signage has been added everywhere. Much of the metal fencing is down, and there's just barrells preventing people from entering the busway...

A Note from the aB photography department: I've been trying to take photos.. last few weekends just have been tough. I planned on going this weekend, but I may need to stay close to home for a electrician to come by. And if I do not do it this weekend, it probably won't happen for 2-3 weeks...

Thank you. I knew there was a map somewhere of it.. needed it for an argument on Uhub ;)

I cringe every time I hear a pitch for this.. a BRT line with dedicated lanes down Summer Street could accomplish the same thing, and wouldn't be as ugly as a gondola. You could build it within a year and probably do it for a faction of the cost of a gondola system.

Yeah he could. But I will also state that Chelsea has been trying to get FAA and MassPORT meetings about the airplane noise, and it's crickets. Im pretty sure it would be the same about that ramp since its owned by Massport. When MassPort doesn't wanna do something, they don't. I was going to...

You are aware this is my doppleganger..

Yeah its 5-7 minutes rush 7-15 minutes non-rush. I thin its safe to say its under 10 in rush, and under 15 in non rush. Same frequency as the 111.

Yeah I'm kinda disappointed at the lighting for the shared use path. It doesn't seen very 'direct and efficient' and in some a parts, it just uses the busway lights to illuminate the walkway. I will say two things.. the lighting system is very A-typical MassDOT, same lamps are used by MassDOT...

LOL I have nothing better to do. I'm up by 530 most days anyways. 2 weeks ago when I went to the grocery store, I noticed it was all lit up, so the follow week (last weekend) I went out and took a few pics. That was when I realized my Samsung sucked at photos. So this weekend.. I forgot...

I know I saw somewhere.. I think on FB or twitter about a meeting to talk about improvements from the Everett Line of Beacham/Williams/Marginal.. didn't say how far down Marginal. I was going to go but I think i have a work thing that night. If I can find the post, I'll pass it along. (I wanna...

I think the line there is to make it so there's a wide turning lane to Central Ave. The entire Eastern Ave/Marginal/Central Ave intersection is being redone. It's not quite done yet. I know the city eventually will re-do both Eastern Ave to Broadway, and Marginal to Williams (and beyond) to...

Hey All- It's time for another update. Since my weekday schedule (and TransitMatter's) just have not synced to do our thing together with MassDOT and get a official tour AND since almost the entire project is illuminated at night now, I decided to take photos of it at sunrise (or just...

I think i've proven its a matter of opinion... facts do not lie.

Still exaggeration.. 40 minutes is exaggerating. 20 is more like it. 25 with waiting at traffic. Twitter account does not lie. Here's the last 2 days of ups and downs Up: 10:51a down: 11:12am Time: 21 minutes Up: 10:26am Down 10:41 Time: 15 minutes Up: 6:46p Down: 7:00p Time: 14 minutes...

That actually is the bridge alternative route for the SLG/SL3 when the bridge goes up Boy people like to exaggerate this.. I ride the 112 every day, and its 18-22 minutes each and every time from up to down. Don't believe me, check out bridges twitter account and see how long.

And I spoke too soon.. the bridge was up this morning. Luckily I knew before I left the house because of the twitter account so I waited!

The contract **ENDS** in March. Doesn't mean work will be going until then until the last day of the contract. But as someone who has watched a few seasons pass now.. work does slow down in the winter at the job site so I really think by Halloween, outside of what is left at B'ham Sq Station...

So I was going by on the 112 today and saw them installing the Real Time Countdown signs... It's really happening!! You'll probably have to zoom in using the full sized picture to see.. but they are there. On a different note.. people keep talking about the bridge and how it will slow down...
