@MattJMartinelli @jonchesto Some think NSRL is an MBTA project - though its ancillary very important effect is to unite the separated North & South side commuter rail systems it is as funded and intended as a **national and regional intercity interstate rail corridor project** #mapoli #buildthelink

I would not rule out a USPS move to Widett but it probably would have to be via air rights (unless the T changes its mind about the space it needs) and that of course makes it complicated.

@FortPointer @jonchesto 1. Would rather have NSRL than S. Station Expansion 2. Would like the Post Office moving and the road opening again 3. I think a new Post Office works best in Widett Circle rather than the more valuable land near Pappas

@kdhively I have not asked either senator. They certainly will be important to the puzzle.

@jonchesto Yes - if they expand S Station, they need that yard. But if they do the more logical NSRL, they can store trains elsewhere easier (or so I understand from transit experts). But then you don’t need USPS to move at all.

Storing train cars in Downtown Boston is a waste of real estate and a huge missed opportunity. Use #WidettCircle to build the North-South Rail Link instead. It will ultimately save $$$, connect & create communities, and put us on the path to the transit system we need.
The Boston Globe@BostonGlobe

The MBTA has completed a $255 million purchase of the 24-acre Widett Circle industrial area, with plans to turn what was once a busy meatpacking district into a railyard. trib.al/ELxkCnq

@NSRailLink @jonchesto We are not the best and the brightest around here! To show that one person manes a difference the absence of Ted Kennedy, the prime congressional supporter of the NSRL and the co-sponsor with George Mitchell of Maine of the original funding, is sadly huge!

“It’s a serious misdirection of policy because people don’t have an eye on the real solution, @NSRailLink”, said @JohnABusinger vice chair of the NSRL North Working Group (fmr Gov Dukakis is Chair) “They’re pushing one without doing anything on the other.” #mapoli #bospoli #SSX
NorthSouth Rail Link@NSRailLink

Yet another sad waste of BILLIONS of taxpayer$ on a Project that would 1) only have a 10yr shelf life 2) ensure future rail congestion #SSX #mapoli #bospoli @jonchesto Hope springs anew that Postal Service could move to make way for SStation expansion bostonglobe.com/2023/04/27/bus…

Why is the MA Democratic Governor supporting #SSX which is an old misguided and failed Charlie Baker transportation plan that essentially kills the @NSRailLink - NSRL is a project in the @MassDems platform! #mapoli
John A.Businger@JohnABusinger

@NSRailLink @jonchesto This sends message to North of Boston including NH and Maine, GET LOST! The North/South Rail Link is in the 2017 and 2021 state Democratic Party platforms - THE SOUTH STATION EXPANSION PROJECT pushed by Baker IS NOT!

Members of the @NSRailLink Working Group (of which our own Field Coordinator Joe Aiello is a member) continue to push for the project and see a possible renewed interest as the incoming Healey administration takes office at the Massachusetts Statehouse. ow.ly/cenQ50LZOTh

@SecretaryPete Our NSRL WORKING GROUP chaired by Governor Mike Dukakis has multiple members in each of the six New England states and the North/South Rail Link is by far the most important rail projects among other worthy projects that would be part of the combined regional rail network
