Hey All- After seeing some progress as I've casually gone by, I figured it was time for another installment of Silver Line Gateway Photos. And I'm glad I did. Lots of activity today (since it's a week day), more so than I've seen in a while. Plus this whole set should seem like "Construction...

Oops and I was wrong. After I voted yesterday.. I walked over to Bellingham Sq Station will be and saw the footings for the cement station structures being built. Annnnnddd... I took the 112 to Wood Island and saw new concrete forms at Eastern Ave Station. They must have just went up, as when I...

Hey Folks! I was going by Market Basket on the 112 today and saw one set of forms being built for Chelsea Station! Yay Progress! I'm going to guess the ones at Eastern Ave Station will go up super soon (as they are done grading, the concrete forms really are next) This also means I should...

That is actually MY mistake. He didn't say XD60s.. my notes said so.. or at least my chicken scratch on a stickie. I made a bad assumption there. He DID however say they were the dual mode ones that could be used in the tunnel. And thank you Winston for posting some other source to your...

I'm not sure why you said that or who your sources are.. my info is coming from the a silver line driver at the MBTA who was told "unofficially" it was spring. This also validates anything I've heard from the state regarding the project. Even the SLG's website says "The Busway and BRT stations...

Okay a quick update. I got a phone call today from my buddy who drives Silver Line Buses. Now I can't reveal everything he told me but he did tell me somethings I can say. The 60 Foot New Flyer XD60 Excelsior buses are arriving. About 1-2 a week. I think he said 20 of these will be repainted...

Hey All - It's time for another monthly installment of Silver Line Gateway photos! Sorry about the delay, again. I know I shouldn't feel that way, because yes, F-Line, you're right.. I'm doing a service. But I'm doing a dis-service by not keeping up on the updates. I'm not only doing this for...

Hey Folks, It's been a while! First, I apologize for not posting an update in well over a month. I've had a few busy weeks at the beginning of the month, and the weather hasn't cooperated the last two weeks (cloudy or rainy). And it looks like it's not going to cooperate this weekend either...

Here's the drawings of each underpass from the SEIR Bellingham Street Bridge Broadway Bridge Washington Ave (right) & US 1 Overpass (left) And yes, looking at an opening of Late Summer/Early Fall 2017

Hey All - It's time for another monthy installment of Silver Line Gateway photos! Sorry about the delay, again. Busy Summer. :-) But I'll redeem myself with this large update! The construction is really coming along now. More so than last time. At least more noticable stuff since last time...

I think it's already been painted before.. look at this photo Im hoping once the lighting is done, it will be a deterrent for graffiti. But then again, my roommates car was just broken into again and his radio yanked out while parked on a main drag, I have a little faith.

Hey All - It's time for another monthy installment of Silver Line Gateway photos! Sorry about the delay. Busy Summer. :-) The construction is really coming along. Like last time it's alot of small things here and there, enough to let you know that construction is moving along. However, I am...

They actually re-did the Everett ave crossing 2 years ago. Its like shit now. The crossings never last. They did Third Street also, which now is also like crap. Which is why I question how well that work done at Spruce in the posts above will last)

damn. I saw the stickie a few days ago.. but I had a City Council Meeting to attend to that night. I actually was triplebooked that night (client meeting before) I'd LOVE to go and meet some of y'all. Can you all try to decide sooner if you are going to do this and give people more time. Maybe...

Those pictures are from the 1973 fire...

There's another one along the project too. This one is near the busway and the CR line will meet (near the Broadway bridge) Here's a pic from last year And it's still there last month:

Route 1 is pretty far away from that crossing. I'm more guessing it's because prior to the Great Chelsea Fires of 1908 and 1973, respectively, that area was very thickly settled. After the 1908 fire, it was redeveloped as mixed residential and light industrial. But after the 1973 fire, which...

Hey Guys- I was off today and had to swing by Market Basket. So I pulled over near the Spruce street crossing to see what work they were doing last weekend during the commuter rail shut down. Here's some pictures I took. Looks like they were moving the rails a bit, installing a new crossing at...

I don't! Was just curious if I am wasting my time or not :-) You got it. I figured it would be OK. AB folks like this stuff. so I'll keep it up. Just so folks know.. I take the pictures about the same time every time I go. Usually a Saturday between 9:30a and Noon (I usually leave around...

Thanks. I know this is a bad thing to say to this crowd but.. I was wondering if it was too much or too frequent? It's odd when I take these. I drive (with a car) the route on my way home from Market Basket (i drive the route backwards) and I usually don't see too too much being done at a...
