I went to school for 9 years in Swampscott. Every field trip we took went down the Lynnway past the West Lynn Creamery plant. The WLC milk and OJ cartons were ubiquitous. I think I still have plastic milk crates in my house from there. Anyone with an institutional knowledge of the area will...

Spent some time in DOH when I was there for the World Cup. Huge, clean and amazing.

The area in question is being re-zoned in accordance with the MBTA Communities act. Along with the current zoning overlay that's there, there is a potential for high density residential development in the future.

[Mods, feel free to move if necessary] Recently, the Town of North Andover approved ARPA funding to conduct a feasibilty study for a potential infill station on the Haverhill line at Osgood Landing, located between Andover and Lawrence. A station in North Andover would allow for the resumption...

Speaking as one of our resident Highway Engineers here, there's a reason we sub out all of our landscaping work!

Do you ever question the quality of your news sources in the first place?

The best kept secret at Logan is the security checkpoint between Terminals C and E. If you get there before the international crowds get in, you can be through in two minutes (with PreCheck).

Landed last night at E14 and let me tell you, it is an absolute hike to get to customs from there. It's just one really long and relatively narrow corridor. No pics, because I was in a hurry, but there's noting aesthetically stunning about the space, save for the wall of windows on your left.

Did this yesterday at LHR. Flew AMS-LHR on KLM, landing at Heathrow Terminal 4. Flew LHR-BOS on VS out of Terminal 3. Two hour layover, but muust have landed during a slow period, because we were at our new gate in about 40 minutes, including the bus transfer and security.

Per MassDOT, project is going to Final Design (100% design package was submitted last month). I frequent this corridor and the intersection at Euclid is really tight, with insufficient storage space on Broadway for vehicles looking to make a left onto Euclid. And Jenness Street is used as a...

According to wiki, B6 has 6 321LRs in service with orders for 8 more and an additional order for 13 321XLRs. Spirit only has 319/20/21 100/200/NEOs in service. No reason they'd need XLRs in their fleet for any of their routes.

BOS-LHR on UA was the only Star Alliance flight available. Perhaps the surcharges imposed at LHR was a factor and people who are tied to SA prefer to take LH to Munich/Frankfurt instead as a means of getting to Europe?

TBH, MassDOT has been much more adamant in their reviews of my projects about ensuring temporary (and sufficient) pedestrian access during construction.

I've flown BOS-MEX twice now, both times on Delta flights connecting at JFK. The first time, Aerommexico direct was an option, but IIRC the flight times to Mexico were incredibly weird.

I flew in/out of DOH for the World Cup back in November and December (with a side trip to Cairo) and that airport experience there was simply incredible. The architecture, the indoor gardens, the huge teddy bear, the soaring ceilings were amazing.

FWIW, the MBTA is hiring a "Director of Rail Transformation Planning", in charge of regional rail planning and implementation: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3551003947

The only problem is that more often than not, the grates have a chamfered corner so that they sit in the frames in only one orientation. To fix the problem for bicyclists, MassDOT would have to dig up the entire casting and rotate it 90 degrees and repair the asphalt around it. And that's only...

Had a Wal-Mart 18 wheeler doing 85 in the left lane a couple of weeks ago who got really aggressive with me. He was in the left lane with the middle and right lanes wide open.

Flew YUL-LGA-BOS last Sunday evening. People on the LGA-BOS had transfers. Those going to DUB were fine as we were at Gate A22 and that flight departed Gate A19. But anyone going internationally anywhere else were screwed as they had to go all the way to the main terminal the the extreme...

The project in question is MassDOT #606448. If you refer to Addendum #1 issued for this contract, there was a question by a prospective contractor regarding the scuppers. In response, a revised detail was provided for the scuppers showing the grates. Now, if you look at said detail, it clearly...
