  • Actions to Transform Mobility
    Actions to Transform Mobility TRANSPORT KENDALL Navigating the Growth and Transformation of Kendall Square Introduction The Kendall Square has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past 40 years. The scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs in Kendall Square together have created one of the most dynamic innovation districts in the world. Kendall’s innovation ecosystem is dependent on the talent and resources of institutions and companies located in close proximity. Close connections to Boston’s medical centers, investment resources, and education institutions have likewise been invaluable. Kendall Square has become central to Massachusetts’s economy attracting talent from every corner of the state, however Kendall is not as geographically central within the regional transit system as downtown Boston. Despite this, Kendall has grown from one red line station into a model transit-oriented development district with a truly multi-modal commute pattern, supported by the City of Cambridge’s progressive parking and transportation demand policies. Kendall has spurred the emergence of new districts focused on life science and technology innovation throughout the region. The state’s economic growth is dependent on reliable transportation connections between where people live and work. Transport Kendall seeks to maintain and enhance the transit-oriented development model in Cambridge. To do this, Transport Kendall promotes future investment in the transit system to serve this economic hub, while relieving congestion and supporting regional

  • MBTA Red Line Repairs
    Ana Torres November 3, 2011 Assignment 5: Basic queries MBTA Red Line Repairs Starting next Saturday (November 5, 2011) and until March 4, 2012, the MBTA will close the Red Line north of Harvard Square on weekends to complete $80 million in repairs designed to keep trains from derailing due to eroded tracks and power lines caused by leaks in the tunnel. The service will be replaced with shuttle buses. According to an article from the Boston Globe by Eric Moskowitz on October 22, 2011, about 21,200 riders on Saturday and 14,200 on Sunday board the Red Line at Porter, Davis and Alewife stations, meaning over 35,000 commuters will be affected weekly in the five-month shutdown period. The MBTA has come up with its next commuter nightmare. On weekends starting November 5, Red Line trains north of Harvard Square due to tunnel repairs. According to an article from the Boston Globe, the $80 million project will serve to keep trains from derailing These events are a perfect opportunity to reanalyze the profile of the users of the MBTA. Having a clearer idea of the sociodemographic profile and the patterns of use of transportation of the people that will be affected by this project will help to have a better assessment of the true cost of the project, that it, not only the monetary cost of the infrastructure but counting the social cost of the project as well. For this, a map that relates different characteristics of the population and their transportation information will result extremely useful.
