In Westerly, progress for an upgraded train station, chugs along. Why there's new hope https://www.yahoo.com/news/westerly-progress-upgraded-train-station-090505429.html The Westerly Station is a Spanish Colonial Revival structure with an under the tracks tunnel built in 1913. It is within...

It is good that these cities are finally connected to Boston by rail. I however do not expect to see a large number of daily commuters from either Fall River or New Bedford. It looks to be approximately some 1:40 long ride. Not many people will want to do that regularly each day.

A small section of the fencing was down on Wednesday when I was there and I was able to access Waterplace Park using the tunnel under Memorial Blvd. I am disappointed that the former tunnel under the old train station that ended at the ice rink does not look to have been incorporated into the...

There is supposedly a plan to have a pedestrian bridge linking both sides of the river by the stadium just south of the Division Street Bridge. It is my thinking that it will one day become part of the off road route for the Blackstone River Bikeway linking India Point/East Bay Bike Path to the...

The latest open date has once again been nixed with it being pushed further out into future. Was in Waterplace Park yesterday and looked through the tunnel under Memorial Blvd and saw construction equipment out in front of the site. This is one of the slowest moving projects I have ever seen...
