    Idea for fixing the housing shortage

    And they define a bus station as "Bus Station”, a building located at the intersection of two or more bus lines, within which services are available to bus passengers; provided that a bus station does not include a shelter or other structure without walls and a foundation."

    I agree. This project seems like it ignored the other work happening on Memorial Drive further west.

    Should this overpass project get it's own thread?

    Roads and Highways General Development Thread

    WOW that's bad. Keeping the 4 lane overpass is very short sited. Seems like MassDOT is just ignoring what the DCR is actively building right now further west on Mem Drive.

    I can't find the meeting slides or video recording, but I saw some screenshots of the proposal. Wow what a disappointment, I thought MassDOT would have been better than DCR at something like this.

    Thanks for sharing! I can't attend the meeting, but I'll for sure write a comment to the DCR and to my state reps.

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    I think the T needs some environmental permit from a Reading environmental board.

    Biking in Boston

    I agree. It's crazy that Brookline wants 3 lanes of parking (2 curbside parallel parking, and the angled back-in parking) right next to the Green Line. Probably some of the best transit access in the state here and they want a super car centric design. Removing that angled parking would really...

    Biking in Boston

    I like the separated bike lanes, I'm a bit worried the path is going to get too crowded like the SW Corridor or along the river. I think that bike lane could be extended a bit further if Brookline wanted to give up some parking. I'm not sure what the traffic volumes are like, but getting rid of...

    They pushed back against raised crossings too.

    Wouldn't installing crossing gates remove that 10 mph restriction?

    Milton is trying to change the definition of what a rapid transit community is to avoid the zoning requirements. https://malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H3813

    Idea for fixing the housing shortage

    There's a Joint Committee on Housing hearing tomorrow on zoning. Hopefully the YIMBY bill (H.1572) gets some support. https://malegislature.gov/Events/Hearings/Detail/5197 https://malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H1572

    Memorial Drive Greenway Phase III

    The only underpasses I'd want built now are the bike/ped ones for Storrow. It's a shame that those never got any more momentum.
