I think you're right in that they haven't worked out the operations sufficiently. They really should have one-way flow and maybe some of the tape-like ribbon barriers for crowd control. My experience of the London terminals is that they're all pretty bad at this and the management is really all...

I would expect that it's because the station is on the west/north side of the underpass so it might tie in better on that side of the street? I don't see how the work the northern end of things tho.

The reason that many housing authorities are below Faircloth limits is that they cannot pull together sufficient funding to replace/rehabilitate those units without also going over the faircloth. Bidens HUD tried to come up with some new models, but BHA was not seemingly positioned to meet the...

As far as I can search, the news reports have nothing to say what their purpose was in the parking area. Looking at the timetable though, there's a couple of trains at the top of the 2 p.m. hour that serve the station. Even on that horrible weather day, there were still trains running and...

Most cafes in Cambridge a hybrid cafe/restaurant because coffee and pastries just doesn't make rent. I can't think of a coffee shop nearby that doesn't have some sort of kitchen - except Dunks. 1369, bom dough, Cicada, the children of Darwin-Asaro/Citrus. The only true coffee/pastries with...

This seems to be common with European operators. I guess this continues the tradition of the French heavily discounting winter much to their chagrin.

Interesting - I wonder if there's a document with that specification (or the T's requirements for the procurement?). My experience in Ottawa was that their fare gates, while not in a building, are better protected from the cold, snow, and ice than South Station's vaulted passageway.

Ok - I don't think I saw that when I was there. The original assertion seemed odd to me. But, did you catch a source for the fact check too? Or was that also an assertion by someone claiming some "secret knowledge"?

Unless its a very reduced rent - I struggle to see how a cafe without a kitchen will pencil out in Cambridge.

What an odd statement. The only media reports with any detail about the tragic death is that the plow driver was reversing, ran into the woman and man, killing her and maiming him.

Yesterday, I noticed a bunch of conversation on Reddit (and cannot find the post on r/MBTA anymore) with a post saying that the fare gates at South Station are bagged/wrapped and that the equipment wasn't made for our snow and cold temperatures. Anyone with more information about this?

There was a quite simple reform that would not have left us with such a hole in the budget to fill -- just remove the cliff. But, alas, too many greedy folks in the state house thinking more about their own wallet than about the common wealt.

It's infuriating that in parallel we've cut off our ability to deal with the operational side of the house. Healey and Baker both engaged in a legislative campaign to relieve millionares of wealth/estate taxes. So few of us will ever hit a million dollar inheritance, and with a simple fix of the...

Much of it is not even "AI" in the LLM sense, but, "AI" in the marketing department sense. In my experience, generative AI is at best a microwaving of leftovers - can be done well if you know how to use a microwave, but, most folks won't know how to do better than an awesome plate of nachos.

I guess the Luddites should've stopped wearing clothes "for impact". But, we live in a society, bro. They protested unfair labor practices including wage theft and improper compensation. Because of the history of the labor movement and those predecessors, like the Luddites, it was possible for...

How many mayoral cabinet officials is that now?

The Luddites were correct, too; it's only corporate propaganda that makes you think of it as incorrect or bad.

Harry Mattison, what you doing here? Joking aside, it's wild that the incident was less than a year ago. It feels like a lifetime. Trump is darkness embodied in politics - he's going to try to extract a pound of flesh from every state and almost nothing will happen otherwise until he dies or is...

Back when I used to do things like run for pleasure during my lunchbreaks - I caught what must have been a caboodle of kids in that sand pit. I presumed that they must've been from this daycare in the building.

That should really be at least a 5/1!
