Discussing Public Transit in the City of Lakes and Surrounding Areas. Laquo; Improving Transit Maps. Midtown Greenway LRT if 3C is Chosen? If the 3C route is chosen for the Southwest LRT, it will cover about half of the Midtown Greenway, from Lake/Excelsior to Nicollet. A proposed streetcar on the Midtown Greenway would have very little chance of being built if the 3C route is chosen. How about an LRT line that would continue from Nicollet to Hiawatha?

The Walking Bostonian: The scourge of single-story retail
http://walkingbostonian.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-scourge-of-single-story-retail.html
Tuesday, March 10, 2015. The scourge of single-story retail. I'm sifting through some of my pre-snowpocalypse photographs for this post, so we can remember Boston as it once was. The Fenway is a densely populated vibrant neighborhood with a strange dichotomy between retail buildings and residential buildings, like many other streetcar suburbs built around the same time. Another example from the Fenway. Union Square, Allston, with lots of great little shops and restaurants. But almost all of them are ...

The Walking Bostonian: Light rail and traffic
http://walkingbostonian.blogspot.com/2013/03/light-rail-and-traffic.html
Sunday, March 3, 2013. Light rail and traffic. Streetcars on Brighton Avenue 1940. A note on Brad Plumer's article Do light-rail systems help cut down on traffic? Anyone familiar with the Downs-Thomson paradox. And related concepts would understand that light rail or any public transit system is not a "congestion reliever". First, for a variety of reasons, Commonwealth Avenue (in Allston/Brighton) is not a heavily used through-route, unlike Harvard Avenue or even Washington Street, so the traffic on it i...

The Walking Bostonian: It's not so easy to re-route buses in Boston
http://walkingbostonian.blogspot.com/2015/04/its-not-so-easy-to-re-route-buses-in.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2015. It's not so easy to re-route buses in Boston. The Boston Globe ran an editorial. Today calling for the MBTA to radically re-examine its bus routes:. If Charlie Baker wants to find inexpensive ways to improve the T, he might consider one fact: In 1954 — two years before he was born — the 34 bus ran from Forest Hills, down Washington Street past Roslindale, and onward to the Dedham line. In 2015, it still does. All-door boarding, all the time. Queue-jump lanes where needed. Howev...

For Walkability and Good Transit, and Against Boondoggles and Pollution. To avoid this problem, such cities as Barcelona pioneered the use of large-diameter TBMs. In Barcelona, the internal diameter of the TBM used for Line 9, 11.7 meters. While the cost of Barcelona Metro Line 9. Is about $170 million per kilometer, more than three times the original budget, compared with $40-60 million per kilometer for most Spanish tunneling projects, it is still much lower than the cost of comparable projects tunneli...
