    Green Line Reconfiguration

    A rather simple alternative from B C and D trains to the Seaport. All Huntington cars go Prudential - Back Bay - Bay Village - Boylston . . . A new Green Line from Copley, under Dartmouth Steet to Back Bay. Thence to Bay Village, Marginal Street tunnel . . . No double transfers for...

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    Interesting, but full of mis-pronounsiations.

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    I remember Raymond's on Washington Street. "Where U bot the hat".

    Photo of the Day, Boston Style: Part XIV (2020)

    Agree heartily. I am also a Boston transplant to Denver. The ideal solution for us would be to transplant Denver's climate to Boston.

    sorry for the misspelling. It's St Botolph.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Berklee is likely to cause confusion with Berkeley Street, particularly since there's a Berkeley Street exit from Arlington Station. Instead, restore the name "Massachusetts" to the GL station. Rename the OL station "St Botolf". Unique, geographically accurate, and it does homage to...

    The Quinn (née The Berkeley) | 370-380 Harrison Ave | South End

    With all the new buildings and other upscale stuff, isn't it time to drop the "East Berkeley" name and go back to Dover Street?

    Silver Line to Chelsea

    Re: Silver Line to Chelsea (Study Meeting) Re Place Names: I get more annoyed about "fancy" names for new streets. There are a few of them in the Seaport District. "Marina Park Drive" sounds like some place in Palm Fucking Beach. Who was responsible for that disgrace?

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    Crossing from the northbound platform to the southbound/westbound platform at Boylston is not feasible. If I remember correctly, the stairs are narrow and will permit only one person at a time and the passageways are narrow and smelly. You'd have to go to Park Street to cross under; there's...

    Federal Funds for South Station Expansion

    On Thursday, I am flying into the Baltimore Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport, or is it the Thurgood Marshall International Baltimore Washington Airport? Oh, screw it -- Friendship Airport!

    Downtown Crossing/Financial District | Discussion

    So it looks like that, with the relocation of city government, Government Center will become a misnomer. The T station is undergoing extensive rebuilding. This is an excellent opportunity to restore the Scollay Square name.

    Cambridge Infill and Small Developments

    "Councillors" is a perfectly acceptable spelling. Webster's 9th collegiate lists it as first choice.

    Whoops!. Exit was from the upper, outbound platform.

    Then and Now

    It was an emergency exit from the T station -- the upper inbound platform, if I remember correctly. During construction of the Alewife extension, it served as an entrance to Harvard-Holyoke station.

    Reasonable Transit Pitches

    Auditorium is really a poor name for the GL station. The entrance closest to Hynes Auditorium is usually closed. The most efficient way to get to Hynes is from Prudential Station (which is closer, I think). What prompted the stupid, now irreversible, change from Massachusetts? Anyway, the...

    Seaport Transportation

    Re: Track 61 (Seaport - Back Bay DMU) It would be long tedious slog from the east-bound Red Line to the east-bound Blue line. Walking through the passageway and upstairs to the north-bound ("Summer Street") platform, walking the length of the platform, walking through the new passageway...

    Boston Sidewalks

    What's the City supposed to do about F-line's tree? If's it's in good shape, cutting it down will likely cause a neighborhood outcry. One solution would be to "re-route" the sidewalk on to F-line's property with a plaque acknowledging with thanks F-line's having granted an easement to the...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    This thread has proposals for extending the Blue Line westward from its hoped-for terminus at Charles and for extending the Huntington Avenue subway to Brookline Village and diverting the Green D line to Huntington. Why not combine the two goals? Extend the Blue Line under Embankment Road...
