The Green Line Revisited
By TheRLeePost - 12/18/10 - 9:05 pmPlease check out this sight on a better alternative to the GLX proposal and saving $705 Million in the process. The Green Line Revisited.
Proposed Alternative to Current GLX
By TheRLeePost - 11/22/10 - 8:16 pmI've done up a multi-page web site on an alternative to the proposed Green Line extension into Somerville and Medford. I'd like to get some feedback, and/or otherwise promote it. The alternative isn't dissing the use of the Green Line, merely making better use of it than the GLX will do. The current price tag for the GLX is a mind boggling, highly exorbitant expenditure for a short extension of a light rail tram in an already owned rail corridor.
There are no words to describe the size of the ripoff that is the GLX. For $10 billion the Swiss bore TWO tunnels, each 30' wide and 35 miles long, yes, 35 MILES, through the mountains, TWO of em. The price tag actually includes another 24 miles of connecting and support tunnels. The tunnels are sized for HIGH SPEED trains to be traveling at well over 160 miles an hour (which is the minimum in the EU for high speed rail).
Yo, what the Fluff?
By dwyer - 4/3/10 - 6:31 amMarshmallow Fluff is essentially candy that spreads like peanut butter. It's an American classic that was born in Somerville, but the new strawberry variety with its bright pink color is frightening. (read entire article by John Stephen Dwyer)
