    It's Millenial grey. Which apparently according to trend-followers will soon be turning into Millenial Green. Soon, we'll see graffiti saying "why is this green".

    MBTA "Transformation" (Green Line, Red Line, & Orange Line Transformation Projects)

    Like - for these long duration closures? Or for regular work? If for regular work, there's no place to store. If for the long-duration closures, there seems to be activity nearly 24/7 so it would require a level of logistics management that I don't think fits this region's contractors. Would...

    MBTA "Transformation" (Green Line, Red Line, & Orange Line Transformation Projects)

    If I remember right, there's also a set of switches between Davis and Alewife - depending on how power is divided between stations, it could potentially go as far as Davis and then turn back.

    MBTA "Transformation" (Green Line, Red Line, & Orange Line Transformation Projects)

    Last full shutdown for the floating slab section of the RL was 2 years ago in November 2024. They kind of held of during covid for the succession of three-day-weekend shutdowns from Harvard to Alewife. I don't recall that being a thing at all since 2019, but, it may have slipped my mind. The...

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

    Biking in Boston

    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?

    Union Square Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    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.

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    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...

    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...

    Other People's Rail: Amtrak, commuter rail, rapid transit news & views outside New England

    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...
