I have to challenge these words and their impact. Not everything is an emergency because if everything that we as individuals thought was an emergency, both everything and nothing would be an emergency. That's not going to lead to a sustainable development outcome. In fact, of we treat all...

This makes me wonder how much of the SF Breda's have parts interchangeable with the Boston Bredas.

I was reading about this earlier and I think that they finally came to their senses that there is still trillions of dollars on R&D required to get to the point that there will be urban AVs that can get to L5 automation.

One of my favorite pieces of communication ever! 😻

Vassar cycletrack was 2003. Hubway was launched 2011. Uber and Lyft was founded 2014. Everett's pilot is the process lane was 2017. Cambridge Street flex post lane was 2017. It's more like a 20 year process. But it is nice to see the results of 20 years of work come to fruition in the past 3 or...

Yeah in the community working group notes you see that they said all of the types of GL vehicles will run on the new line and that it won't be possible to only have the new ones on the glx.

The community working group meetings have said 6 months minimum testing on the line. I think someone else said the vehicle testing is happening as we speak because they're running them now on the older line. So probably closer to the 6 month end of the estimates. Though who knows, they're still...

---- It has to actually happen to "proilferate". NYC has walked back their timeline for congestion pricing. (Though, they're still keeping 14 ST busway and all the covid-response busways) SF has undone the "carfree" part of their carfree Market Street. Ummm....any other new "carfree"...

someone tipped me off about Brookline (!) considering bus lanes *on Route 9*! Looks like they've talked to the public about bus lanes in both directions on Washington Street all the way from the Jamaicaway overpass to the overcrossing of the GL/Station Street. Pleasantly surprised to see...

Looking like the GLX team is giving an update in a public meeting next week. https://www.mbta.com/events/2020-12-09/green-line-extension-glx-virtual-public-meeting

I could see this being the case on city-to-city travel between urban areas, but, really difficult to see this working in the central area of greater Boston. What we know from street design is the livelier a street is, the more pedestrians it draws, and in the end, the shorter pedestrian...

2035 is 15 years away. It took us about that long to go from the Washington St. bus lanes to a growing hopskotch of bus lanes. and those are almost all "simple" street changes that only change operations, and, your word, "utilization". On the "utilization" front - cities are clearly...

What studies (not videos of theoretical capacities of urban streets) actually show that AVs would actually allow an urban street in a downtown or close-to-downtown area to get to 100% street capacity? I haven't seen *any* that accommodate for a human-centered street. The "studies", i.e...

i've always had to create a XLS -- and can't seem to find one that i've used long ago.

Some interesting reading in the MBTA's Systemwide Accessibility Initiative semi-annual update. Mostly a lot of likely-to-be-postponed accessibility projects, but some status updates on a number of smaller MBTA construction projects...

My partner and I loved the fritattas at the buffet. I'd be planning to go back just for those amazing bites.

Watching the video -- it reminded me of a question that I've always had...why does the T not use rigid overhead catenary in the GL tunnels? I remember seeing the rigid catenary while visiting Barcelona a couple years ago and felt like it seems like something that would fit in the context of the...

Given the headways that the T is talking about in the "Leaving Behind" process, are we thinking that we'd even see that many 7-7s? It feels like they're running skeleton services on the branches -- 13 minutes on off-peaks? Which in my mind, sounds more like 15 minute services. And, what, on the...

Out on my morning constitutional, I found the following new bus lane my neighborhood this is on Washington Street from Harvard approaching Union Square. I guess I could also post this to the biking in Boston thread as well since there's some parking protected lanes up on the bridge. I'm...
