    Crazy Transit Pitches

    Transitmatters original proposal was for an MBTA operated, commuter oriented, frequent service, with the T buying the tracks from CSX when they were trying to get approval for the PanAm purchase. Didn't propose as many stops though.

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    So, you're nearly 1000ft West of the throat. That's about 1/3 of the distance from the "mouth" to Cambridge Street. The viaduct part is the expense part. The Yard part requires no diversion mitigation and is only about 20% of the project length and maybe about 10% of the cost, exclusive of West...

    MassDOT Rail: Springfield Hub (East-West, NNERI, Berkshires, CT-Valley-VT-Quebec)

    Reviving the line to N Adams also would provide most of the same benefit that the Northern Tier proposal would at significantly lower cost.

    There is nearly a mile of DT at the station and weekend games. You could store enough capacity to carry 20k people to each game

    Tobin Bridge Relocation/Replacement

    So, I believe that service is every 5 minutes now. If you increased to every 3 minutes on the trunk, then each branch would get 6 minute service. One crossover every 6 minutes is not beyond the capacity of a flat junction. That's why there is provision for one at Maverick.

    Commuters Ditched Public Transit for Work From Home. Now There’s a Crisis.

    Actually, Everett is well on the way to similar density. The swath from the Mystic to Admirals Hill is the next Seaport.

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    So, I have discussed this at length here, as an alternative to a second NSRL tube. I'm not sure how you get 4-5 miles of tunnel. The ROW is clear until a bit north of Airport Station. It is 1.2 miles from Summer St to Eastie and .6 miles to the southern end of a RR station. That leaves a bit of...
