CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT
CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT The 2003 PMT outlined the actions needed to bring the MBTA transit system into a state of good repair (SGR). It evaluated and prioritized a number of specific enhancement and expansion projects proposed to improve the system and better serve the regional mobility needs of Commonwealth residents. In the inter- vening years, the MBTA has funded and implemented many of the 2003 PMT priorities. The transit improvements highlighted in this chapter have been accomplished in spite of the unsus- tainable condition of the Authority’s present financial structure. A 2009 report issued by the MBTA Advisory Board1 effectively summarized the Authority’s financial dilemma: For the past several years the MBTA has only balanced its budgets by restructuring debt liquidat- ing cash reserves, selling land, and other one-time actions. Today, with credit markets frozen, cash reserves depleted and the real estate market at a stand still, the MBTA has used up these options. This recession has laid bare the fact that the MBTA is mired in a structural, on-going deficit that threatens its viability. In 2000 the MBTA was re-born with the passage of the Forward Funding legislation.This legislation dedicated 20% of all sales taxes collected state-wide to the MBTA. It also transferred over $3.3 billion in Commonwealth debt from the State’s books to the T’s books. In essence, the MBTA was born broke. Throughout the 1990’s the Massachusetts sales tax grew at an average of 6.5% per year. This decade the sales tax has barely averaged 1% annual growth.

This thesis proposes a general framework of engineering resilience for infrastructure systems in the context of climate change and illustrates its application for the rail rapid transit network in Boston. Within this framework, projected coastal flood events are treated as exogenous factors that inform exposure. Endogenous network characteristics are modeled by mapping at-grade tracks, water ingress points, track elevations, crossover switches, and critical dispatch yards to produce a dual network representation of the system, capturing physical and topological characteristics.

Below, the sanctuary also suffered structural fractures. By Matt Rocheleau, Town Correspondent A four-year-old renovation project at the Copley Square subway station, delayed after below-ground work caused significant damage to the Old South Church, is nearing completion. Administrators at the 135-year-old church are relieved that the major repairs to the subway station are complete and are looking forward to permanently repairing their national historic landmark in the spring. The station, which like several other Green Line stops will include more accessible entrances and pathways for handicapped residents, is expected to become fully accessible by the end of October or early November.

Rail Service to Newton Upper Falls and Needham
RAIL SERVICE TO NEWTON UPPER FALLS AND NEEDHAM Comprehensive Planning Advisory Committee T R A N S P O R T A T I O N P L A N Light Rail Extension in the Needham Street Corridor Submitted by Srdjan S. Nedeljkovic, M.D. Rail Opportunity Page 1 Project Description and Overview An overview follows of the proposed light rail line from Newton to Needham, via the Green Line. Rail service is warranted because this corridor joining Newton and Needham has a high (growing) density of residential, commercial, and office development. Overall, the number of jobs, the residential density, and the number of commuters to the urban core supports the feasibility of light rail access. Finally, with the re-establishment of light rail transit, there is an opportunity to create less auto-dependent and more pedestrian friendly transit-oriented “village” environments along the corridor. The Plan: a general overview The rail line that is proposed would parallel Needham Street in Newton, from Cook’s Corner to the old Newton Upper Falls depot, and then continue into Needham parallel to Highland Avenue. The proposal advocates for a dual track and electrified line, providing service via the Fenway portal of the Green Line, into Copley station, and then continuing to Park Street. It should connect with the MBTA “D” line between the Eliot and Newton Highlands stations. An intermediate station should be created at Newton Upper Falls, with a terminal station in Needham, either at Needham Heights or in Needham Center. The possibility of other intermediate stations could be explored, such as one that would be placed at the end of Chandler Place, near the new Avalon at Newton Highlands apartment complex.
