10/29 from my deck in Eastie. Switched from my phone camera to a new Canon ES 100 mirrorless camera and am loving it!

Will this continue into a crosswalk to the stairs up to Summer? Right now you have to do a dicey crossing at the traffic light to the left of this photo. A planned hawk signal or pedestrian signal would make sense here. As a runner, I love seeing pedestrian routes opening up like this!

This is my first time posting a thread - so please adjust the title if necessary! Still learning as I go! A new 8-story residential large development in Brighton was proposed. 8 storied for that area seems progressive to me...

I don't expect much different in terms of fare collection on the GLX, but also it seems the communication on the fares for inbound GLX is just a lost cause. The language and process of fares on GLX is just kind of silly at this point, with this awkward and vague feel to it. My guess is most...

When I was in Chicago this past weekend, along the river walk they do this near many shops and gardens that line it, and the zone ends once you get far enough away from them (either between or at the ends of the River Walk). I imagine something like this. It's much more reasonable than feeling...

290 Binney, getting close to topping out (8/29) from Discovery Cafe patio. In my humble opinion, this area is very appropriate for much taller. On that note - is there any chances for seeing more mixed-use between lab and residential? A taller hotel in this area is sorely needed as well...

They have a nice stretch of smaller high-rise (20 to 30 stories) up the Lake Shore from downtown for about 7 miles, and they also plan out their dense neighborhoods every well. It feels like a city where people enjoy living in. The North Side feels like what Revere should've had more of with...

I guess this is the right place for this: Visited Chicago this weekend and Chicago, in my *very much opinion*, shows a lot of urban planning done right which in-turn creates a great environment for a positive and enthusiastic tourist and resident experience near the downtown loop and near north...

Drove by the center-bus-lane section along Seaver and Columbus on a venture out of Eastie to JP, and it doesn't slow cars on Columbus at all, while getting a steady ridership and keeping a nice pace. The look of the stations came out nicely. In a VERY perfect world it'd extend down Blue Hill...

For a visual that seems to be accurate based on the redditor/creator who made it, I found a cool map on it: https://www.openrailwaymap.org//mobile.php?availableTranslations=[object%20Object]

Is there some type of map (just out of curiosity) made to show the HSR speed limits for commuter rail lines, if they're converted? Or alternatively, some type of conversion from the commuter rail to HSR speed limits? I.e. 79 MPH on segments of commuter rail on Worcester line could be X number?

Nothing to get excited about anytime too soon then!

I did more digging on the proposal of extending 3 daily trips of NER to Ronkonkoma - which seems to be stuck as a proposal for the entirety of this year. While this was maybe an idea before it became a proposal, does anyone have anymore info on if this will go anywhere? From Reddit discussions a...

That's really interesting. Thanks for your input! Originally I was pretty intrigued by the amount of additional space along the tracks in that area of the Haverhill Line. Reasonably speaking, I'm very excited for the idea of increasing frequencies to Reading.

A new CRAZY pitch I was exploring was placing the orange line underground from either Wellington or just after Wellington on to either Malden Center, or just before because of the bridge there. If this is crazy, it might as well be through to Malden Center, moving the platforms below the...

This might need its own thread now that it's in with the BPDA

Thinking about improving commuter rail service frequency and availability, especially with SCR's clogging on the horizon - are there any other lines where double-tracking would open up more frequencies or even extensions? But this question is asked in bad-faith, god-mode context: where tunneling...

I couldn't find this on here - but from what I read on this - Middleborough/Lakeville will remain open for seasonal CapeFLYER service - is this still the case? I suppose it's a win win to keep this if the ridership is there from M/L on the slow trudge to Hyannis... Something I think I look...
