So, full disclosure, I managed to forget that Longwood and LMA both exist, and I didn't logic that through that the least diverse should also win at least one mode. The MBTA rider survey is self reported isn't it? Some of that really doesn't make sense except for data issues, and especially...

I too am doing this by vibes, and also not having looked at the above guesses / hints.

So, I'd be very suspicious that much of that decision making was driven by the cruise market. Notably their cruise port is one street over from that downtown pedestrian mall which Google says is open June 25-Sept 7... and a very quick perusal of cruise schedules says that June 26 is when Holland...

Good Lord, using an AI render that bad in 2026 should be disqualifying. Just look at those cars which must have been airlifted in between the wall and the planted bed & amenities, the sudden existence of a two way connector viaduct alongside 95 ... which, to be clear, *aren't part of their...

I'm approximately 90% certain (hopefully) that render wasn't sourced from the MBTA, since it appears to be largely AI generated - it's got the Gemini SynthID watermark, and the lead/ladder tracks look like a mess with some tracks just disappearing.

So this render and it's accompanying agenda item immediately raises a question for me - this certainly looks like a ground floor for a multi story building, as it calls for vestibules - but they're also saying that they're descoping TOD from the project to save money. So which is it? It's...

The CRA is restarting the development process; they just sent out an email to abutters. I wouldn't be hugely surprised if whoever was there was basically gathering info for new as-is renders, as I kinda doubt the CRA intends to continue with whatever work product belongs to the previous architects.

So, having read that, it seems to boil down to - apply the brakes, check if those on the rear cars applied, release and confirm they released and that system pressure is returning via end of train telemetry. Given the rapid speed at which braking systems are meant to operate in service, I still...

I realize that this is totally an aside... But theres got to be a way to do better than that on this continent generally, rather than spend the millions on infrastructure when the improvement can be operational. The FRA has a lot of American exceptionalism in its regulation, but I think we need...

https://www.nbcboston.com/boston-business-journal/direct-boston-jackson-hole-ski-flight/3997974/ Operated on a Boeing 737-700 and will run from February 13, 2027 to March 20, 2027 - a decidedly interesting addition to Boston's network for United, where it's one of the smaller mainline carriers...

Well, that's certainly one way to one-up the previously proposed Reading turn back track that the community opposed - can't wait to see what they think of this now. 🤣 I also didn't realize that this was seriously in the cards - I certainly didn't see it in the CIP. Edit: actually, how does this...

"Family Sized Units" - we desperately need more of these, as alternatives to single families. https://www.mass.gov/info-details/family-sized-units

Entirely possible it started the process before the neighborhood zoning update took effect; my understanding is that it follows date of filing.

If we're crayoning the state rail map across Central MA with abandon... I have two thoughts. Mostly, I think you'd get 90% of the connectivity benefit, if not more, by just running a proper Providence-Worcester-Lowell, if it's speedy enough and timed to meet the Fitchburg at Ayer. I know that as...

3 separate notes: 1) per reddit, that tag has been there for at least a month. I don't know I feel about a developer not caring enough to remove it before a camera crew shows up from the local news, so I'm thinking there's some backstory here we're missing. 2) as far as I can tell, there...

My understanding is that India is just really hard for airlines to make money in - for such a populous country, it just doesn't drive that much air traffic, especially the premium traffic that drives long haul revenue. Even AI dropped IAD and ORD not too long ago, cut SFO frequencies, as despite...

Just a brief note - I believe you're correct, and I was fooled by a combination of perspective and the 1940s maps - I thought erroneously that this freight house was actually annexed to the steam plant - at 3am that roof ridge looked like it was where the freight shed met the wall of the steam...

The CTPS summary for the 2004 PMT certainly seemed to think the central subway had the capacity to absorb it, albeit with peak turns at Kenmore. While that overview advocated for terminating at Needham Heights rather than continuing to Needham Junction, it wasn't envisioned as a complement to an...

That building in the background is almost certainly 75 Kneeland - that facade detail is unique. The building at right with the blank facade however is what ID'ed it for me - that would be the Kneeland St. steam plant, which would then make this part of the B&A depot, and those trucks on what was...

Hate to disagree, but I'm fairly sure the plan is still to dredge, then cap the thing - as recently as this April the EPA was still talking about it. Albeit not to make it navigable, They just had a meeting on Monday - that presentation hasn't surfaced yet, but afaik they're still moving forward...
