Didn't realize that's what happened, so thanks for the correction. Fair use quotes are fine, but copying a full article is not OK in any case, and particularly if the content is behind a paywall.

Fair use quotes are fine and helpful, along with a link to the full article. Stick n move provided just that, which I appreciate. It encouraged me to click the link and read the full article.

Project Manager Jean Fox presented an update on status during the Cape Cod Chapter, NRHS banquet last June. I noted her presentation then did not include a planned opening date, so I asked during the Q&A. She said it was hoped to be late "this year" (2023), but it was dependent on PTC testing...

The state did not "create" the canal. It was built by private enterprise and opened in 1914. The canal was purchased in 1928 by the federal government and greatly widened in the 1930s. With the 1928 purchase, the federal government assumed the rights and obligations to operate and maintain...

OpenCape is building out a fiber network on the Cape. I don't know how far they have gotten. I do know a few years ago they strung fiber across the canal via the railroad lift bridge.

The terrain along much of the canal is high on both sides, notably around the Sagamore Bridge extending most of the way toward the Bourne Bridge. The result is long approach tunnels would be needed for the canal crossing. Add to that the highway interchanges close to the canal that would be...

Yeah, I'd like to see specific citations as well. I grew up by the Cape (many years ago) and follow the news there. What specific meetings were held "about what's going to happen when all the Boomers are dead"? I haven't read about any. The suggestion the Cape's year-round population is...

My thoughts: I don't have a strong feeling on whether the CapeFlyer is shown in purple or another color to distinguish it from year-round commuter rail -- just as long as it's finally shown on the MBTA system map. It's long past time. The CapeFlyer service east of Middleborough should be...

It's the I-195 bridge.

And apparently some people think only those over age 60 live on the Cape. :ROFLMAO:

Yes. See the recent boston.com story at https://www.boston.com/food/food-news/2024/01/09/south-station-au-bon-pain-closes/ The location at Boston Children's Hospital also recently closed, and at Brigham and Women's a bit earlier.

Looks good, though it "Buzzards Bay," not "Buzzard's Bay." :)

Nice map, though it should include the seasonal CapeFLYER service (perhaps as an arrow from just north of the planned Middleborough station).

And Wareham and Bourne's hope of seeing a commuter rail extension to Buzzards Bay.

The planners for the establishment of Route 128 as a limited access highway had some thoughtful foresight on this. Its present route largely follows the borders between towns/cities, as seen on the map above. Hence the curves between Wellesley and Newton just south of the Mass Pike, and the...

I suspect House bill HD4555 is an attempt by State Reps. Fernandes, Diggs and Xiarhos to dull the effort by Bourne bike path proponents to abandon the remaining Woods Hole branch to North Falmouth and Joint Base Cape Cod, while jump-starting plans for commuter rail service to Buzzards Bay...

There is no shuttle bus service planned between the new Middleborough and existing Middleborough/Lakeville stations. And I understand that while room is reserved for a possible Buzzards Bay/Cape platform at the new Middleborough station (in the area of the "400' Platform" depicted above), it is...

No. Bourne residents have voted at least twice to join/keep the town as a member of the MBTA district, in the hope that commuter rail service will be extended down to Buzzards Bay. And repeated polls by the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority have shown Cape residents want expanded CapeFlyer...

Having grown up near Buzzards Bay village, a few thoughts. I'll reference a couple of insightful posts. First: And this is why you're not seeing any mention of improving public transportation to or from the Cape, whether its bus or rail. While the claim is this project is meant to merely...
