Look for unbound inbound Red Line service across the Longfellow on Wednesday
By adamg - Mon, 06/23/2008 - 12:04pm.
Joe Pesaturo at the T reports that workers finished the emergency tie replacement work on the inbound side of the Longfellow Bridge this weekend (700 brand spanking new ties) but that they still need to do some track tamping and surfacing tonight and tomorrow night. Once that's finished, it's full speed ahead for the morning commute into town come Wednesday, he says.
The afternoon commute, however, will continue to afford passengers extra time to enjoy the Boston skyline: Workers will be replacing ties on the outbound side on the weekends of July 12 and July 19.

Joe Pesaturo and you
Do you get special press releases from the T that they don't put on their web site? Just curious, after reading this and your earlier post about someone who bought at CharlieTicket for a fare evader.
Will there be more weekend busing on this part of the Red Line next month?
(By the way, I see that the DCR has replaced most of the red plastic fencing with metal chain-link, to keep people off the closed sidewalk.)
Not press releases, per se
I guess I'm on Joe's mailing list, although in this case, I e-mailed him and asked if the Longfellow work was done (which, as you can see, it isn't).
Thanks Adam
You should be nominated for the T's Outstanding Customer Communication Award. Seriously.

Yup. People are staying off the sidewalk all right, and walking in the bike lane instead.
Seriously. It's ridiculous.
Seriously. It's ridiculous. And someone must have shattered about 19 glass bottles or mirrors or something on the inbound side, because there is glass littering the bike lane. Between dodging pieces of glass and pedestrians, it's become extremely dangerous getting across.
The Red Line repair failed
At least it appears that way to me, since the inbound Red Line still crawled over the Longfellow this morning. Can you ask Joe what the problem was, and when they will next try to fix it?
