I don’t think you can politically justify raising turnpike tolls when the rest of the highways remain free. I agree each highway being tolled should be accompanied by electrification of the CR lines that parallel it. Then once everything is electrified and every highway tolled, bump them all to...

The state can and should self-fund Red-Blue. It should also be getting a slate of projects shovel ready for the next transit-friendly administration so we don’t keep making the same mistake of getting projects ready just in time for the next Republican administration. While Eng deserves endless...

Or governors shouldn’t undermine their employees like that. All the secretary did was indicate roadway pricing is a good idea, which is the truth. Healey neutered the transportation funding task force because she couldn’t take the two days of bad press over the idea of expanded tolls. Any...

What is the feasibility of connecting the Nashua River Rail Trail to Clinton and the MCRT via the active CSX ROW? Has this been proposed?

It is an interesting dynamic that Burnley, the more progressive candidate, is also more pro-development. His platform calls for adoption of Cambridge’s 6 floor citywide zoning. Wilson calls for more targeted upzoning near transit stations. This is pretty weak without defining the extent of the...

I’m also assuming cast in place concrete can’t be used on bridges, so I’m curious if Seaport Blvd and other locations where 100% of the flexposts have been knocked over will get the Arlington bumps or something else.

Yes if anything I think they are watering in the morning and the evening picture shows how it looks after a day of evaporation. It is specifically here in front of the drain where a thin layer of water will pool as there is a slight lip at the edge of the drains. You can see the outline of the...

There’s drainage and standing puddles in the southbound bike lane every morning, even during the extended dry spell. Makes it very difficult to pass because bikers keep far left to avoid the puddles and if you’re following too close you get water thrown on you from tires ahead of you. I think...

Somerville Community Path Safety Improvements project was recently announced. The public comment map has many comments in the areas you’d expect (School St and Davis Sq)

I guess, my concern is that would lock in Storrow as a major state route and add further hurdles to reducing the amount of pavement that consumes the Esplanade. I understand it is a major state route now, but it shouldn't be permanently and this would be going in the wrong direction.

Is this satire or a Robert Moses fan-fic?

Can the busses board at the raised Type 10 level-boarding platforms or will they need a lower curb height on a portion of the platform?

Looking forward to revisiting this thread in 2075 when the viaduct needs to be rebuilt again and we’ll have our next chance at a fully reclaimed Charlesgate.

Solar-Powered Docking Station For E-Bike Rentals Opens In Davis Square Interested in how these stations hold up to regular usage as they are much less bulky than bluebike stations.

That’s crazy that adding service requires any sort of process or analysis.

Is the need for the bridge operator to have visibility of the span a factor?

There will inevitably need to be statewide regulation on this, it will never work to have a patchwork of municipalities with their own autonomous vehicle regulations. The only question is how long it takes the legislature to act.

Will Waverly be any more complex than Natick Center? Seems to be about the same except they don’t need space for a third track.

Could you run the C to Lechmere and add a switch here to use the E Somerville storage track to turn around? I’ve never seen that track in use.

Are there near term scheduling improvements that can be expected as a result? Does the T have the equipment and personnel to run more expresses or higher frequency?
