Oh my god I was just trying to find data like this from FK4's mention of "making Galen St nice". I've worked on Galen Street and heavy trucks and tractor trailers use Galen Street all the time to and from the Pike and I assume it's just a more direct and large road to get to the Pike from...

I'm actually sometimes in the group of "riders going between subway station and car rental facility" when I cant use a local rental car office because rental car reservations are very popular for that time-frame or I need the 24-hr access of Logan (it does end up being more expensive due to the...

Yeah, damn. I think this would be a similar view today? The structure is always that size though, so it's always obstructing instead of sometimes obstructing in the below image. (taken from google maps images of Nashua St park)

That's what it seems like. Based on a picture from zombie reddit: Here's the link: mbta.com/lasttrip And from that link:

To me it feels like a bastard child of Lyrik in Back Bay's facade style and Parcel P (Foundation Medicine) in the Seaport's square windows (though there are probably better examples, but these came to mind first). I can't tell if I like it yet. Something feels uncanny-valley about the mashup of...

From the MBTA board meeting, here's the PDF for the MBTA Strategic Plan Annual Update for 2023-2024 (note, they made this PDF a bit wonky, so it's double-wide after the first page). Here you'll find what the MBTA has done for the year regarding their stated goals. Here's a screenshot from the...

I also don't know if you can find the actual studies. I've tried to look for these types of things before too. I'm unfamiliar with the state prior to moving here in ~2007 but from my quick rabbit hole dive you might be able to find some more "official" references to it on the State Library of...

Is it this guy? Holy cow this is quite the playlist for 5 months of content. I would really love a Newport Rail Connection. I've tried to get to Newport, RI by public transit and the only time friends or I were able to do it well was with the Providence->Newport ferry in the summer, but you need...

Maybe what you're looking for is the "Capital Needs Assessment and Inventory (CNAI)...a routine analysis the MBTA performs every three to four years to help the agency understand the overall condition of the transit system." Along with the CIP to see which improvements they're planning for? I...

This helps, thanks! From that Center for Housing Data I found their DataTown site where you can see the annual housing production per town. But that data ends seems to end at 2020, so I looked at where they're getting their data from. So from there I found the US Census visualization tool's...

Maybe they're forcing one lane there, and keeping the hatched area paved to more easily move to a future state (NS-SS-Seaport bus corridor) (see images here in this streetsblog post) where future T-7 buses can queue-jump there?

Is there anywhere to see how the region is doing at adding housing stock? The St Louis Fed has things like "housing structures authorized for boston MSA" or "1-unit houses authorized in Boston MSA" which doesn't seem to capture amount of housing units or bedrooms authorized for people -- just...

I forgot that I was gonna pass by today too. We also have sidewalk getting poured on the southern side. Can’t wait to actually walk thru this normally for the first time in what, 2+ years?

We’ve got lane markings now. From 9/17.

Also from Thursday 9/12 (@5p):

Hopefully this height will help the redevelopment on top of the West End Library down the block which the latest RFPs range from an 82ft, 84 unit senior housing to a 230 ft, 180 units of senior+family housing. EDIT: Whoops, I missed/forgot the news that this one was chosen (155ft / 119 units)

Yeah, definitely a lot of usage around North Station. Right now at noon on a very temperate Monday (~70ºF at 9am, ~78ºF at noon, 50% humidity) -- 5 bikes available out of 113 docks (95.5% usage) over these 4 docks: (via https://account.bluebikes.com/map)

It's planned from Plan: East Boston -- see pages 107-109. This plan was adopted by the BPDA in Jan 2024
