They still run RTSes there, no?

why not? Cambridge doesn't have enough Seattle-esque whimsy

What I read is that you dislike salmon colored sidewalks?

They had to reorient their entire governance structures to provide the basic infrastructure for working society for untold masses of hungry, angry, and suffering people. In the contemporary era, the US has only been adding to the number of the mass of hungry, angry, and suffering people - both...

For me, it's the low low backs that are the most infuriating - causes my rear to scoot out away from the back over time then putting my knees into people's path of travel.

Just as a reminder, it typically takes a near-society-ending or full-society-ending type of disruption to cause this. It's absolutely true, and absolutely unhelpful to compare to other countries - as comparision is often the theif of joy.

Didn't see too much about this topic - but - I think it's safe to say that we are about into the 15th or 16th month of a metropolitan recession. Total non farm employment is down from Jan '25 to '26 by about 30k jobs or a total of -1%. with our 2nd (Prof. & Business Services) and 3rd (Trade...

I think this isn't unexpected - it's going to find Focus 40 and the documents that link to or call on it.

Saturday in Chicago-ston - Sunday in Baltim-ston.

The missing ped refuges would be between - e.g. a turn lane and the transitway. You have to remember that cockamamie designs like this are what kills BRT projects - e.g. Pie IX in Montreal basically lost all BRT for about 20 years because of bonkers pedestrian hostile designs like this.

In general it feels like the summer is not an season with major service changes, regardless of the latest international grift being in town.

I'm entering the 'yelling at the TV' era of my middle-age -- when they quoted Bobby saying this - I yelled, much to my spouse's chagrin 'just like you paid low for the handy!'

I don't know how skateboarding didn't become an even bigger sport here - so many brutal beton and modernist clean grind 'rails' everywhere!

i don't know why you wouldn't do an island platform or if you must do side - offset?

Not even a gold-plated toilet in sight.

Other than maybe a tad too heavy on the Millenial gray - the actual physical layout of the space is notably better in the actual use of Copley Square. I think we all have to accept the fact that trying to make a lawn function as a plaza was not working in the previous design. The actual travesty...

that looks like a street that active hates pedestrians - people would need to have an owl's neck to cross at anything unsignalized.

all the untold workers doing overnight hours needing a reliable affordable ride - graveyarders, hospital, hotel, night life, generally any night owls. - folks just need some kind of overnight transportation as a lifeline.

Super busy as well at about 2 p.m. with several long-distance departures and a regional. Sometimes that 6 p.m. push can get a bit too chaotic - thankfully that's more "commuter" types so folks just know to avoid the ticketed area and opt for something (anything) else.

don't need to have uniform fleets to have PSDs - if you go to any Asian country with a legacy railway - they run consists of different door numbers and lengths of trains. It's solvable for even the not very complicated Red Line.
