@EliteGentleman @Microsoft Yep, seeing the same email pishing attack. Emails are very credible in appearance @MicrosoftSec @Outlook

Dear @Microsoft, someone is trying to hack into my account. I am in bed when I received these notifications. I'm not going to enter these password reset codes. I never asked to be reset.

@DanielHCantwell @RepMoulton @transitmatters @Kennedy_School Puhleez enough with the ridiculous idea... This is NOT a solution to passing 40 trains an hour through Boston.

@RepMoulton @transitmatters @Kennedy_School The North South Rail Link already exists.

Massachusetts has a choice to make: Do we plow ahead with a half measure expanding South Station, or do we connect the Commonwealth by bridging North and South station to link our rail network? The question isn’t “Can we afford it,” but rather “Can we afford not to?” 🚇 🚧

Never know who you might bump into on the midway at the @TopsfieldFair ... Maybe even the @MassGovernor. Gov Healey reminded me that it's America's oldest fair of its kind, started in 1818. We're lucky here in MA to have iconic and historic fun events like this. #mapoli

@trainsbikesbus @universalhub A map seems to show this location as a 24 min walk to the existing nearest CR station. Hopefully they'll mostly use bikes to get there.

@flutiefan @FairweatherPhD @sam_d_1995 Agreed. It was a weird way to express his idea. But he wasn't wrong. Maybe better "a playground would be great for the kids of today and for many generations of our kids and grandkids to come"

@FairweatherPhD @sam_d_1995 it’s the way he said “children who haven’t been born yet” that made them laugh. he’d be better off using the children who are currently alive and there!

Parks and Rec was a documentary. NIMBYism is truly beyond parody. twitter.com/ChrisByBike/st…

@jarjoh Would rather see South Station turned into a through-station with the #NorthSouthRailLink

Bostonians watching every major NEC station but ours get a major overhaul.

If you’re wondering why nothing ever gets done in Massachusetts. This is an op Ed by the chair of MA House Transport committee who claims that tunnels are anti climate bc they can flood and cites a study suggesting that a monorail should be built instead bostonglobe.com/2024/06/24/opi…

Massachusetts is way behind on regional rail. From Philadelphia and Baltimore to London and Paris, cities around the world have linked their disjointed transit systems. It's past time we connect the Commonwealth with our very own Rail Link. 📰⬇️ bostonglobe.com/2024/06/15/met…

Now this is a service suspension i would love to see in Boston. Hey @MassDOT @MBTA @MBTA_CR @MassGovernor you listening? @transitmatters

@7News They need to go back to East Boston. Yet another truck stuck in Sumner today. Just two weeks after they installed new signs there too. @MassDOT

Officials hope new sign at Storrow Drive entrance will help prevent ‘Storrowing’ whdh.com/news/officials…

@brendanwhitsitt Setbacks can also encourage land/lot consolidation and therefore large scale corporate developers, rather than enable more local, smaller multifamily developers.

Why should there be any setbacks at all in an urban environment? Each of those red arrows represents dozens of people who will never get to live in this community.

@jarjoh I hear Stadler FLIRTs have nice seats 😊

We need modern, world-standard coaches with better access for people with disabilities, more standee space for the growing number of short trips, and no middle seats!

@PropertyMan219 @berkie1 They need to start where the feds actually can have a direct influence on housing...@Amtrak Stations. Push localities to upzone around stations.

@berkie1 Built homes

White House Targets Local Zoning Restrictions In Push To Address Rising Housing Costs “Housing shortages and unaffordability have risen over the last 60 years, in large part because of local land-use policies that restrict housing density..." thehill.com/business/45475….

@Harvard_JCHS @ConorDougherty @jimtankersley How about starting with the obvious federal housing connection... Requiring zoning which permits multifamily housing within 2500 ft of any Amtrak station.

The new report includes a suite of moves meant to reduce the cost of renting or buying a home, while encouraging local governments to change zoning laws to allow development of more affordable housing. @ConorDougherty @jimtankersley nytimes.com/2024/03/21/us/…

@boston25 Ufff... A 17 min walk from T. Meaning many will unfortunately opt to drive.

America is stuck in the past. As Germans plow ahead with plans to further modernize and electrify their rail lines, we continue to funnel our own money into expanding highways and airports. We deserve clean, affordable transit — let's make it happen. 🚅 railjournal.com/infrastructure…

@mak3333 @the_transit_guy @bellachu10 The cheap/highly available land also makes transit construction cheap/easy.

@the_transit_guy @bellachu10 Seems like they have basically unlimited land to store cars. Probably not worth the cost to the municipality to build mass transit under those circumstances.

This is a casual reminder that Oklahoma City, the 20th largest city in the world's largest economy and superpower, has NO transit connections to its airport. The revenue the airport makes from parking is 2.88 times more than what is made from airplane landing fees.

@berkie1 1767...amazing what they could accomplish without the BPDA, a 1000 pages of zoning code, lawyers, EIRs, neighborhood associations, abutter meetings, traffic engineers, etc.

Boston’s Temple Street was first laid out in 1767. It wasn’t until the 1970s that Mayor White and Governor Dukakis widened the sidewalks, banned parking and formally designated it a “pedestrian priority street.” The new name “Temple Walk” never caught on however.

@friendchristoph @curcuas There's even a former rail line (now rail trail) directly adjacent... Connecting site to WC Station.

@curcuas huh, I didn’t realize quite how close it is to West Concord

Great place for the Commonwealth to use its powers and build hundreds if not thousands of new homes in one of the wealthiest, and most exclusionary parts of MA, close to the T

@emilyschario The AFC 2.0 project is in progress already, and is expected to fully rollout in the next year... mbta.com/fares/fare-tra…

It is absolutely bonkers that you can’t refill your Charlie Card with a credit card on an MBTA bus. Or even just PAY for your fare with a credit card!
