  2. Now that I've slept on it and looked back at the slides, I see the problem. MassDOT considered fewer lanes (1st pic, items 7, 12) but they list an unbreakable constraint "Equal or better intersection Level of Service" (2nd pic).

    The overpass is overbuilt today. If you require it to fit as many cars, of course you'll get a highway off ramp again!

  7. Multiple cars crashed on Memorial Drive in #CambridgeMA, in the same spot where John Corcoran was killed two months ago. Cambridge is currently doing construction there to try to make the area safer. Today's crash was serious, involving a rollover and multiple injuries.

    What motivates you? I'm motivated by the rage I feel while sharing this crumbling 6' wide path with walkers and bikers next to 40' of brand new asphalt for cars.

  20. @hugh YES, AND, only in a culture so deeply steeped in auto dependency as the USA could such a top institute of enlightenment countenance such a horrid car sewer of a multi-lane speedway (#MemorialDrive) cutting off its connection to the Charles River right at its grand front entrance. It’s like having an open sewer in front of one’s mansion. It really reveals how brilliant people can operate in a bubble.

  22. Hey #CambridgeMA - today at 1, show your support for keeping #MemorialDrive / #RiverbendPark open space on Saturdays. The DCR has decided to open it back up to cars in the face of overwhelming public opinion. We gotta make them listen! eventbrite.com/e/rally-at-rive
