I don't think you can portal up in the greenway near the Radian. The Dewey Sq tunnel under. I believe I-93 is between the orange lines on the image below. There is a tunnel egress headhouse near the Radian which is the edge of the tunnel. A portal or tunnel here looks very tight. Do you think...

The Silverline transitway bus turnaround floor is essentially the I 93 North tunnel roof. As I 93 begins to portal up headed south, a transitway extension would also need to follow it to the surface. Therefore, a Silverline tunnel cannot continue south of Beach Street, but it should be...

I found in the link below from a North-South Rail Link study the image below which shows the location of the underground Silverline line tunnel (MBTA South Boston Piers Transitway) as it ends under Atlantic Avenue. I do not know if it shows a fairly accurate depiction of the tunnel or is more...

I-195 pedestrian bridge in Providence

The pedestrian experience could be completely transformed. Beacham street in Sullivan Sq could be developed into a pedestrian urban mixed use street that brings people from the Sullivan T station to a new pedestrian bridge over the Mystic using the former bridge supports for the pre 1970s...

Data, do you know how the BRT is planned to cross the Mystic to Sullivan? Will it be in mixed traffic across the Alford Street Bridge? Would it make sense for the footbridge to be a foot and transit bridge and have it connect to the Orange line at Assembly instead of Sullivan?

Re: Essex St bus tunnel with Ave de Lafayette portal http://www.archboston.org/community/showthread.php?t=5003&page=21[ In post 408 of the Green Line reconfiguration thread I had proposed something similar to this. F-line believed Ave de Lafayette was not wide enough for a portal. QUOTE=Joel...

This is a bit like Las Ramblas in Barcelona.

Re: Fairmont Line Upgrade I wonder if a study has been done for a Boston Landing to Fairmont station route via back bay station. Could this route have better ridership than a south station terminus? Back bay is a large destination in its own right but also provides an orange line connection...

My understanding (my wife takes this shuttle) is that in the morning the bus runs from North Station to State Street (to pick up the Blue Line) and then on into the Seaport. In the evening it runs from the Seaport to Aquarium and then on to North Station. The main purpose of the bus is to pick...

When and if the area to the south and east of the convention center are developed as a mixed use district E Street and Cypher Street would be a great transit corridor. The proposed E street extension creates a convenient extension point of the Silver Line from Silver Line Way. From Cypher...

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett http://www.everettindependent.com/2015/07/29/wynn-files-newest-environmental-reportaddresses-sullivan-square-impasse-with-boston/ The McDonald's parcel is going to be a roadway for T and Wynn access. The article linked includes a plan. The roadway will be an...

[/IMG] How about using the Grand Junction right of way to serve Watertown? It would require that right of way being freed from freight and commuter rail trains, but would create the east to west connection north of the Charles the Urban Ring partly was looking to achieve. Add in West Station...

[/IMG] I understand the Boylston curve is one of the congestion points on the Green line. Is there a big enough operations / speed of service benefit from eliminating it by building a new cut and cover tunnel through the Common? If nothing else was done Boylston Station would not be served...

http://massgaming.com/wp-content/uploads/City-of-Everett-2016-Transportation-Planning-Grant-Application.pdf It looks like there is an effort to extend the Northern Strand trail along the Saugus branch rail line to the potential Mystic River pedestrian bridge to Assembly. Part of this route...

https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2016/07/06/another-try-for-ferry-service-boston-harbor/7CDU7Rzi7ZOVKB2RBelRqK/story.html#comments There is a study in the works to run a ferry from Lovejoy Wharf (and Maverick Sq) to the Seaport. The Lovejoy Wharf ferry seems like it would create a good...

Just to clarify, I realize my initial post was possible to interpret differently than I intended. The light rail extension would be two tracks until just before the platform. The tracks are represented by the two grey lines which merge into one grey line where I intended for the single track...

Green Line Connection: The concourse between Boylston Street and the new platform is less than 500 ft . The walk is about the length of an orange line platform. As this approximately 2 minute walk will be more convenient than a double transfer I imagine it will be well used. The winter street...
