Re: "Urban Ring"
I feel there is a lot of unutilized land around Dudley and Roxbury Crossing that is never discussed as possible options for getting people from Rox to LMA. A few possibilities:
- In my mind I see the LMA part as a loop that runs Francis->Brookline->Longwood->St Alphonsus->back to Tremont (put BRT lanes on Tremont by removing parking)
- What about running BRT down Malcolm X? Its horribly wide and way underused.
-And/or, in concert with redevelopment of the projects by Ruggles, taking a BRT ROW that would run along the Orange between Ruggles and Roxbury Crossing
- also in concert with redevelopment, the reuse pf Ward St as a BRT only corridor, and extend it to Columbus (?bridge over Columbus and ram it through Madison Park? ... maybe the last part is a crazy pitch)
