This only happens because of the leadership of Mayor Wu. There’s been no mayor in my lifetime more supportive of efforts to improve the built environment at the neighborhood scale for Boston residents than @wutrain.bsky.social

Boston’s MBTA plans to eliminate the only section of its rail service that’s currently shared with cars, the southern section of the E Line. The agency will build a dedicated, center-running transitway on Huntington Ave that’s also usable for the buses along the route.

Buses would also use the proposed new Green Line E branch transitway to bypass traffic between Heath Street and Brigham Circle.

  2. Looks like some good things going on in Boston. Apparently the present mayor is leading them in the right direction. Some good things are happening even though we have a hostile federal government who cut a lot of the benefits for the people.

  3. This is a very good development. I remember, before the construction of the Stop & Shop in Brigham Circle, wishing the T had built a tunnel from there to Heath Street. Now if they did the same thing (mixed-use center reservation) on Blue Hill Avenue and put down tracks there as well …

  4. Boston has had its moments in history where it’s had things not on an even playing field. Today, Boston is a city that I don’t even live there and I proud to say that’s the city my family and relatives started out from. Mayor Wu and her government has a lot of respect! Thank you 🙏
