It means we make a lot of mistakes. Tons and tons of mistakes. We expect you’re going to screw some things up too. Maybe not as much as us, but you’re going to make mistakes, and we’re going to love you for them. That’s what doing new things is all about. But let’s make these failures work for us. To make that happen always follow these simple rules: (a) Let’s work together to make sure your mistakes don’t cost anyone. That means don’t get hurt, don’t create dangerous situations for others, and don’t bust my fryer, seriously. (b) We’re going to ask you to learn (and help us learn) from EVERY SINGLE mistake you make. We love NEW MISTAKES (as long as they don’t cost anyone, see above), but we hate seeing the same mistakes again and again. Over the coming weeks we want you to learn as much as you can as quickly as possible. You’re going to learn what clean looks like, how to keep up with lines that grow larger everyday, and you may even learn what a “Gordon” is. Above all you’re going to get to know our food. And we’re going to be there with you along the way to provide the support you need. You’re going to help us make Clover better than it is today.

  • Red / Blue Line Connector Assessment – Land Use, Population, and Ridership Memo 2 2
    SUMMARY MEMORANDUM: POPULATION, LAND USE, AND RIDERSHIP CHANGES UPDATE TO THE 2010 DEIR FOR THE RED LINE/BLUE LINE CONNECTOR Published October 2018 1. Introduction In 2010, Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) conducted a study to evaluate the connection of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA’s) Red Line and Blue Line in Boston. The Red/Blue Line Connector Project consisted of extending the Blue Line beyond its current terminus at Bowdoin Station along Cambridge Street to the Red Line at Charles/ MGH Station. In March 2010, MassDOT submitted a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) pursuant to the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA). In May 2010, MEPA approved the DEIR. At the time, MassDOT had not identified funding for the construction of the Project. Recent changes in development and growth in Revere, East Boston, and Cambridge, as well as advancements in construction technologies, have generated a renewed interest in revisiting the need for the Red/Blue Line Connector. MassDOT’s Office of Transportation and Planning (OTP), working with the MBTA, has initiated a study to reassess the Project by revisiting previous assumptions developed during the 2010 DEIR. The purpose of this memorandum is to update the data and assumptions regarding population, land use, and ridership from the 2010 DEIR’s Purpose and Need. The 2010 DEIR focused primarily on four Census tracks surrounding the Cambridge Street corridor project area. However, due to their current access to the Blue and Red lines, the communities in this area would likely not have a large effect on demand for and use of the connection.
