    Biking in Boston

    What does "How often do you deviate from a planned route to avoid an obstruction?" Does it mean avoid a particular street or block, or just exit the bike lane to avoid the obstruction? It's gotta be the former, since not avoiding the obstruction in the latter means running into it.

    Biking in Boston

    It's not paved? And on the Jamaicaway there's one portion that goes through a grove of trees (between rt9 and Bynner) that's pitch black at night.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I was watching a Type 9 go by while riding on the path this morning and I noticed that there is a little mirror that extends when the doors open. They've already got a mirror that pops out when the doors open, what is stopping the MBTA from adding a stop sign?

    Somerville High School Renovation & Expansion | 81 Highland Ave | Somerville

    The path between School and Medford was open today. Plants-to-be-planted were left blocking one half of the path for like 50ft, so i'm not sure it's open-open, but it certainly was nice to not have to detour down school and back up medford, again.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    I imagine since they have the old car / new car toggle, it was zero cost to show the blue line car locations, too

    This shutdown that just ended was supposed to end the slow zones on the viaduct, right? Did they actually complete the work?

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I poached the section between Central and Lowell with my kids and some elderly women last week and I was super surprised at how bad concrete section looked. Not surprised they have a team in there fixing it up now.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    There is, at least at Magoun. It's annoyingly placed so you have to walk ~20ft into the station to see it, but you don't have to get to the platform for estimated times.

    10% of double parking during their study was over an hour. how (rhetorical) the hell can someone leave their car parked in traffic lane for over an hour and not face any consequences?!

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    You're definitely right, I tried to walk through this weekend and it was gated off again. Don't know where I got the impression that stretch was officially open.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    only the section between lowell and central is open. Everything else is fenced off, though the sections between central and sycamore, and sycamore and school look like they're 100% complete. edit: the lowell and central portion is not open yet.

    Thanks for the update on those lots, I was referring to MR4 & UR, which going back I realized is not in the pictures that @Dr. Rosen Rosen posted 🙄, but there is a picture at Gilman Station of it. Quick google search found this, which may or may not be the same photo but is the same building:

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I'm lamenting the loss of the urban fabric. The photo evokes a bustling square of commerce that's been lost. We talk a lot about street walls here, and I feel that the corner lot really ties a lot of the old square together. Now it's a green space which is better than a parking lot or another...

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I was remarking to my sister a week or so ago about that picture of Gilman Square. It's so depressing. The loss of the corner lot at Medford and Pearl hits me the hardest. Hopefully the new train station invigorates that area again.

    How in the hell did that "Gillman Square" sign make it to opening day?

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Whenever I walk over to the path, I think this needs to be utilized as a grand entrance to the path and replace the metal ramp/staircase hidden away.
