Last night there was a public meeting to update on the Longwood Medical Area Bus Circulation Study. I haven’t seen any materials posted on the various webpages for it. Did anyone attend or have materials to share? LMA Bus Study 11/12 meeting

Thanks for finding another pic and the platform length/car length history. Of course cameras weren’t as ubiquitous as they are now so not surprised there aren’t that many photos out there. Hopefully others can turn up more.

Thank you

Two inquiries about North Station underground: 1. I am looking for North Station underground station photos before the Green Line construction began in 1997. It doesn’t matter the photo year between 1975 and 1997. I just want an idea of what the underground station looked like pre-Green Line. I...

Yeah I mean just perusing the Haverhill Line boarding and alighting data: https://mbta-massdot.opendata.arcgis.com/search?tags=commuter%2520rail Dataset MBTA Commuter Rail Ridership by Trip, Season, Route Line, and Stop. There isn’t a great deal of affinity between the “outer” Haverhill Line...

Isn’t this ever more reason to move Reading Station east of Ash Street away from the NIMBYs? It was really shortsighted for the T to put a mini-high at North Wilmington when they could have just relocated to the old Salem Street stop on the Wildcat Branch and routed outer Haverhill trains via...

I’m glad for all the development along New Boston St west of Anderson. The new bridge will help a ton, but it’ll still be a long and convoluted walk to Anderson Station. Hopefully with enough development on the west side they will build a direct access point over the tracks to the station. But...

I think that has a lot to do with the condition of the ancient Lynn garage.

Or it could just be this

Yeah this from JeffDowntown with the Revere Street intersection on North Shore Road being wholly inadequate to clear the traffic volumes (either on Revere Street or NSR). And it’s an incredible constrained area so I don’t know what the solution could be without property takings.

I’m a few days late to when it officially opened, but noticed today after many years of construction the new High Line bridge on the Lowell Line is open and the old bridge is partially demolished.

In the mid-2000s the 57 was this … only alight Packard to Kenmore and only board Kenmore to Packard. At some point since then this arrangement changed and the T allows both in this stretch. You’re right that a bus can maneuver back into the road, but how would a passenger awaiting the 57 bus...

This is disparate impact liability. Despite Title VI or VII, this is an analysis separate from that. Disparate impact is a legal doctrine actually created through legal decisions. See Supreme Court 1970 Griggs vs. Duke Power Co. Not an Act of Congress codified in law. Disparate impact theory is...

Medford Mayor Statement on 440 Riverside Avenue

The conversation was about an NBA arena at Back Bay vs. Everett. If you want to get technical about sports schedules, the NBA regular season typically ends before April 15th, so the Sox overlap during regular season is minimal (btw the Sox alsotry to play away in early April given the poor...

Now do Everett

Given the fact they recently (finally) reopened southbound Congress Street, which presumably was held off for so long in case they wanted to start construction on the residential parcel, likely means nothing doing for a while. I walk by this site frequently and it’s awful to look at. Not as...

The Celtics don’t own the Garden. Jeremy Jacobs Bruins Delaware North Companies own it. I’m not sure what tax breaks the Celtics would seek or benefit from directly from tossing a trial balloon about moving to a new arena. It seems like they would be better off owning their own building and...

The Hynes site makes the most sense. Smack dab in a central business and retail district surrounded by bars, restaurants, nightlife. Plenty of transportation access - for public transit - GL, OL, Back Bay nearby with CR connections, #1 bus and other bus connections. For vehicles, Mass Pike...

Southbound Congress Street is finally reopened now as well between New Chardon and Sudbury Streets.
