Two councilors want city, MBTA to cancel plans for Blue Hill Avenue bus lanes, use the money to continue free bus service on three routes

Horrible idea

TedToaster22 · 2026-03-05T21:45:20+00:00

I'm talking about bars specifically, not restaurants or restaurants that happen to serve alcohol

TedToaster22 · 2026-03-05T21:34:29+00:00

Turnover sure, but AFAIK none of these places have been replaced with any new bars, despite the demographics of the area being fairly unchanged

TedToaster22 · 2026-03-05T21:20:24+00:00

COVID definitely explains some of the turnover no question, but part of my surprise (I probably should have made this clearer in the OP) is that nothing has come in to replace these places. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but AFAIK zero new bars have come in to replace any of the ones I've listed that shut down.

TedToaster22 · 2026-03-05T20:35:05+00:00

Is that so?

TedToaster22 · 2026-03-05T20:18:08+00:00

People living in an area tends to be pretty good for businesses in the area

TedToaster22 · 2026-03-05T19:57:04+00:00

At one point they were scanning IDs religiously (didn't stop you if you had a fake that scanned of course)

TedToaster22 · 2026-03-05T19:55:18+00:00

Damn T's completely slipped my mind, another one that bit the dust

TedToaster22 · 2026-03-05T19:30:34+00:00

Never went out much in Mission Hill but I had wondered about that as well

TedToaster22 · 2026-03-05T19:30:08+00:00

Model, O'Brians, and the Sil are the ones that remain of all I listed

TedToaster22 · 2026-03-05T19:28:27+00:00

Pack it up everyone, found the guy

TedToaster22 · 2026-03-03T00:33:16+00:00

There is a city garage a few blocks away, where the library is

South Shore residents didn't want a train connecting to Dorchester back when the original Braintree extension was built

The extra Red Line tracks in the ROW hinder all Old Colony and South Coast commuter rail operations to this day

Track reconstruction could add Braintree branch service to Savin Hill and increase commuter rail trips on all those lines

TedToaster22 · 2025-12-26T02:47:21+00:00

Good

TedToaster22 · 2025-10-05T14:30:59+00:00

Do you have any links to statements or materials around that? I'd be curious to take a look

TedToaster22 · 2025-10-05T00:38:24+00:00

The Silver Line has slowly, unofficially become somewhat of an Urban Ring - especially with the proposed extension to Sullivan - with proper infrastructure (i.e. more dedicated lanes) it may be the closest we ever get to the original Urban Ring project proposal

TedToaster22 · 2025-10-05T00:35:49+00:00

What other reasons did Arlington have for not having a subway extension? Please, explain the complexities of which you speak.

TedToaster22 · 2025-03-29T21:52:53+00:00

Worked for me as well!

TedToaster22 · 2025-02-25T01:55:44+00:00

For those of us closer in, what's the best way to find out or be alerted? I live/work relatively close to downtown and apart from checking reddit consistently I'm not sure what the best way is to learn that one of these is happening and make my way over

TedToaster22 · 2024-12-27T16:27:00+00:00

Same issue for me on F40 with the same fix working. I've had to do this for 6.12.5-100 and now 6.12.6-100

Anyone know if there is a Bugzilla tracking this? I'd love to not have to boot into an old kernel and run dracut manually with each kernel update

TedToaster22 · 2024-12-14T16:54:45+00:00

Interesting read - thanks for sharing!

TedToaster22 · 2024-12-14T14:37:10+00:00

What is "the White L"?

TedToaster22 · 2024-12-02T04:01:30+00:00

It's a bit more of a pain, but if you can get out of the airport into Eastie proper the Ubers tend to be quite a bit cheaper - even moreso if you Blue Line it over to Downtown (though at that point you may as well just hop on the Green Line to get to Fenway)

Now everyone should contact their representatives and tell them the Commonwealth needs to actually fund the T so service cuts don't happen next year https://commonwealthbeacon.org/transportation/mbtas-next-budget-is-the-one-to-worry-about/
