Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

At Medford/Tufts station, some progress, no picture: Platform foundation is now above ground and ready to be bridged by the platform itself. OCS poles have been erected along the centerline (between GLX & Lowell Line). Lots of small-piece rebar being delivered today (Saturday).

THey've also bumped the construction-boundary jersey barrier out to take the former sidewalk and parking lane on Boston ave. Here's hopingit get comprehensively rebuilt out to the new retaining wall alongside the GLX. Final
 
Do anyone know the minimum ROW width for 2 CR and 2 GL tracks is?

Will the bus connections stay in their current spot with the new station? Or will there be easier pedestrian access to bus berths? I imagine if the bus berths are moved to say across the street, the former station Parcells up for redevelopment would have even more potential

All the bus connections will be on the same side of the highway as the new station. The old Lechmere Station site will be redeveloped.

Yeah, the old incline where the trolleys used to go, that wall is all rusted & looks decrepit. Will that be coming down at all? Seems that there's no more use for it now.

There may be some plans for that site, and I would imagine once plans are coming up there will be a new thread for that on here under development projects. It might be MassDOT parcel

I believe it's going to be included as part of the North Point development.
 
Does anyone have the locations of the Central Instrumentation Houses on the GLX?

I know there is one each at Lechmere and Union Square, but I would like to know the other locations.
 
Nice find.

I wonder if consolidating the BU stops will allow them to make the B line shorter. I hate how it looks so much longer than the D
 
According to the map, the D line's turn-around will be at Union Square. I thought that there would be no turn-arounds until Medford/Tufts.
