    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    It is. It's a depression and malaise that won't go away until we fix some major things in society. However, in the world of harm reduction, getting even just the bus lanes on Blue Hill Ave should help reduce the harms of the dangerous crossings.

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    To say the least - Eliot St doesn't even connect directly to Stuart anymore - though this gives me a legitimate explanation why Stuart St bends at the State Transportation Building now.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    The only thing that I remember is that in the first version of the GLX the path was going to be on a longer viaduct - but - also shorter. I don't like the last S-curve but it was going to be a much less challenging incline.

    Taken from the Lenox Hotel looking westerish?

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    Pointing that bridges are a fix to homelessness is like saying another slice of cake will fix homelessness.

    This reads like my uncles unhinged family e-mails. Like a lot of "facts" but not really anything that points to economy-wide statistics. But, you know what, I won't sell magazines or clicks if it's not a bit unhinged.

    Roads and Highways General Development Thread

    I don't think the problem is that the dollars weren't used - we live in a neoliberal society where austerity means there's always a project that's starving for money - the problem is that the project just occupied space on the ledger that other cities and towns have a right to access. Boston was...

    MBTA Construction Projects

    Am I misremembering? Isn't this what you have to do today? Also, as a former East Somervillen - the T is definitely doing this kind of long ramp in many places, including going past the platform for some distance to access the platform at a designated crossing..

    Right now, the option appears to be no build or a compromised project.

    Other places seem to be able to work this out much quicker - is the T just especially bad at this job?

    West Cambridge / Alewife Area Infill & Small Developments

    yeah - my remark was going to be that they don't seem to be doing anything for transit based on the plan images. Is there a secret tunnel that's not being shown there?

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    What has been told to me by a POC who lives over there - is that the senior leaders really really just don't want the bike lanes. That's a gentrification signifier too far - and the bus lanes sound more like shady business given the mayor's way of talking about it. I really think that the...

    I don't suspect that it's people in Iowa, but, people in Plymouth and Springfield.

    Gillette Stadium Transportatio Improvements

    Good! They should be charging near charter prices for this event whose public benefit is illusory.

    Seems like this is a VZ configuration issue - I'm on Comcast home wired/wireless and it's been fine.

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    I can't imagine that the improvement here means changing the street design - Medford is changing but not as fast as putting bus lanes on such a local street. I think it must be about the lack of a replacement for the 94 and that the 96, as proposed doesn't hit the same neighborhoods. Plus the...

    Postmodernism deserves a little love too!

    I feel like I'm about to see Fraiser Crane walk out of one of these photos.

    Seems worth a letter to the editor to be honest.
