Correction: The T has been kept in a perpetual state of "deferred maintenance" starting since Weld-Celluci.

My hot take on this - she's actually pretty inept as an municipal administrator or executive. While, she's fairly good, as far politicians go, at working the press, it seems to be her main/only forte(?). The rest of the city administration, while not (yet) burning like rome, seems mid to...

This is the federal bureau that created the Katrina situation - right? And the one that is so intransient about the Cape Cod Canal crossings? Are we surprised that they came up with this monstruosity of an engineering project?

It's not close to the center of the intersection that people call Inman Square - so there's no reason for someone to look this far away for "one" Inman Square.

Yeah - that's the 'unspoken rule' that I quickly learned after moving into the city - every grassy expanse is not actually a field for humans. That being said - the mounded things in Cambridge - at City Hall and at Cambridge Crossing really do seem to work well as places for people to...

Some poor newcomer is going to be laughed at when they claim to live right in inman square...

Not that StreetView is the best at saying what happens all the time - but - there's very little apparent "plopping down" that has gone on in that old lawn - more people clustering around the shade of the trees in the heat and avoiding the area during the breezy fall/winter/springs...

Seen this on Route 68 in Kendall all of a sudden too. Just one day but it was a surprise to se "ELECTRIC" on a bus passing by my office window.

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!'
