My crazy transit pitch would be a station between Milton and Central, with entrances to both, that has a pick up/ drop off at Eliot Street on Milton Hill. The pedestrian bridge would cross the river approximately where the dam is now but is currently being removed, and hopefully it could have a...

A station ideally located could have a pedestrian bridge over the river, access to the Neponset Rail Trail, Dorchester Village, Milton Village, and the Central Ave areas of Milton and Mattapan. One actual Red Line station would be better than multiple trolley stops on the wrong side of the river

I am sorry I missed this. I never said that I thought it wasn't possible or desirable. I just said that the measurements on a 100 year old document cannot possibly be valid today and you should be compelled to agree. There clearly needs to be a new study. Yes, the embankment would need to be...

Senator Nick Collins, a member of the Joint Committee on Ways and Means, this week voted to advance Senate consideration of the BRIGHT Act, a major higher education infrastructure bill, while filing an amendment aimed at building a new facility for UMass Boston’s nursing program on the Columbia...

Isn't the whole point to fund a community college? Their outrage seems a distraction

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but not in the design of this building

Or Wellesley could just cut the college a check for it's fair market value and then decide what they want to do with it. Winners all around.

There are no quantifiable benefits because they will not talk numbers, much less study it and that rhetoric shows what I mean. Here's some AI numbers for ya: $70 million in road improvements in 2000 is equivalent in purchasing power to approximately $131.76 million today (2026), representing an...

We live in a bottom line society where half of the people who work full time for many large employers qualify for food stamps. It is unfair to say that other places don't have our labor problems because of the unions, and not point out that in Japan and Europe they have an appropriate social...

Near zero quantifiable public benefit from Foxboro but it has cost the taxpayers millions over the years in transit and roadwork. Look at the World Cup, some seats cost $30,000 and they now expect the taxpayers to pay for their security. I actually like the Patriots and attend games but I do not...
