This map makes my questioning of the current HFBR 104 route even more prescient post Silver Line extension to Sullivan. At that point it seems like the T should just run the 104 as the SL104 to Airport from Malden and use the Gateway Transitway, no?

I see this image and all I can think of "sales job". Looking at some of the details even in the rendering - why are all the stair cases enclosed? If we have a platform canopy and the hall shed, keeping doors at platform level seems awfully excessive.

The last MBTA update had a "this is historical" tone to the press release but the actual statistics seem a bit middling. The MBTA's announced numbers for the Scotland v Ayiti match - 6,200 tickets of 20,000 train seats - and of 65,000 spectators. This looks like transportation to this stadium in...

I also don't think that Boston has that much excess hotel capacity that have spun up for the 5 weeks of world cup events either. I wouldn't be surprised for these games to spread visitors/attendees pretty far afield from the southwest sector of metro boston.

It's gonna be the new Porter Square Beacon Hotel.

I assume they studied this claim one time based on Police Officer vibes and found a weak correlation and thus it was made into fact.

We went away with the "planned" White supremacist immigration system in 1965. The diversity lottery is a minority of immigration visas. Most visas are for family preference or immediate relative. The immigration reform that's needed is equally about normalizing non-immigrant workers without...

I think they hate the public - assuming that this also includes cities and towns.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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...

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.

Rave at the pond?

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

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?
