This is a great step in the right direction for the LA Metro's huge Purple Line extension project, and they keep having success with securing funding and approvals for projects. There are a lot of sorely needed other projects proposed in LA, but to see a complete new subway tunnel project moving...

I was on a jog by here on Sunday and went by Lightview and it became a thought that perhaps Northeastern has the investment interest in these tall/dense residential projects between 20 and 30 stories and they don't seem to be slowing, with a growing enrollment and money coming in the door. Is...

Sunday 4/7. Garage is flattened and space is cleared out. Some big updates from HYM soon?

Another reason why this doesn't seem serious is the specs of the design, including the preemptive arbitrary capacity of 25K. The Revolution had the 8th highest average home attendance in the MLS at over 21K per game, and that was in Foxboro, in a pretty mundane Gillette Stadium soccer...

I was going to guess Lincoln, as it made sense to some extent. But I found nothing...

I was looking at the FAA height allowance map and found that a lot of notable buildings are squeezed in right into areas over where the heigh allowance changes. As there's a lot of low heigh allowances in buildable places like Seaport, Waterfront, South End, and so on. Was there an exception...

Today 3/30

I think the restricted speeds in CT + the loop through Queens are the biggest hurdles Amtrak doesn't plan to get around to speed up Acela anytime soon, unfortunately... I think the best High Speed Raul to Rival other countries isn't going to be Cal Rail (is that the right name) or Amtrak, but...

I think something that will be 20/20 hindsight in about 15 years from now will be a very densely built up Everett between Encore and through downtown Everett up Broadway, especially along RBP. Right now, RBP and the rest of 16 is car centric, backed up at rush hour and weekends (from Revere to...

This has to be a Crazy Pitch, and this is my first route drawing, so I just started with a crayon route, so please forgive the casual design. The pitch is to connect Charlestown to Downtown Everett via a Light Rail line which uses the old rail ROW along Medford St (some of which is now a...

I do think while they drive a majority of revenue through a car-centric model, a sufficient APM and shuttle service better connecting to rental cars, and more parking gets more travelers to drive in, and it seems like connecting those shuttles to public transit would be included in the deal. I...

I had mentioned the good news of Chinatown, Broadway, and Arlington (Berkeley St) new headhouses in the General MBTA discussion thread, but I think there are good candidates which are very feasible candidates for next-up headhouse additions, to increase ridership and accessibility from...

I hadn't known about some of the new headhouses/lobbies being designed/built such as Broadway, Arlington; thanks a lot for sharing this! Yes, headhouses, not headphones 😂 I got to the Sullivan accessibility improvements, and I was hoping for something about a future for East Somerville access...

Just a general curiosity: would the Berkeley St headphones for Arlington ever have a use in being reopened? I recall them being useful while the station long t was being renovated when I was very young... They've kept them there, but they're just closed off by a gate.
