I am getting flak for my opposition to the north-south rail link and want to clarify: The commuter rail isn’t set up to move you from point A to point B unless point B is Boston. This is because of the economy of scale. Given the practical reality, you should probably drive most short trips in MA unless you live in Boston because very few single town pairs have sufficient gravity to warrant a mass transit solution. This isn’t to say that more or better trains aren’t an overall good, but a system that is overbuilt is going to limit its own ability to effectively serve the public, and cars are, practically speaking, a more autonomous and therefore efficient mode of transport in zones of uniform low density.

When greater Boston has trains and buses that serve significantly more demand than they do now, a north south rail link could be a logical next step, but for right now the corridors that would represent the greatest increase in T Benefit are Everett, chelsea and SoWa/Roxbury/Dorchester and it’s not close.

The tool I have to measure this is a gravity model, which doesn’t give you an absolute number of trips but can give you a comparison between two city pairs.

Population (x) x population (y)/distance^2

Let’s look at some pairs:

Boston-Hingham

Boston population (in thousands): 675

Hingham population (in thousands): 24

Distance: 17 miles

Score: 56

Boston-Concord

Concord population (in thousands): 18

Distance: 18 miles

Score: 37.5

Concord-Hingham

Distance: 31 miles

Score: 0.44

These three pairs show that while only slightly fewer people are likely to travel to boston from concord than hingham, people are 100 times less likely to make a trip from hingham to concord than boston. These are fairly characteristic of commuter rail communities, and transit should reflect that. The commuter rail is organized to get people to boston for a reason. Now, compare that to boston-cambridge or boston-brookline.

Brookline population: 63,000.

Distance: 4 miles

Score: 2,657

Cambridge population: 118,000

Distance: 3 miles

Score: 8,836

These are well connected, peer urban areas with light or heavy rail in proportion to their weight. But now look at Everett:

Population: 49,000

Distance: 4 miles.

Score: 2,064

logically, It should have nearly as much transit as Brookline, which has two and a half legs of the green line. It doesn’t, although the T is fixing this with increased bus connectivity. SoWa/Roxbury/Dorchester is the hardest one to look at here because it’s actually part of boston, meaning I have to change some assumptions about distance and population. I have been up to this point using government center as my boston location, and I’ll pick franklin park as my location for dorchester. I’ll be subtracting the dorchester and roxbury populations from the boston population to get an estimate.

Dorchester pop: 100,000

Roxbury Pop: 60,000

Adjusted Boston Pop: 515,000

Distance: 4.8miles

Score: 3,576

Now, depending on location, these residents might be served by the red or orange lines, but the scores are much higher and there is still nothing like the connectivity of brookline or cambridge. This is a major result of boston’s historic redlining, which I’ve discussed before.

These communities, with scores in the thousands, are desperate for better transit. There are ten thousand trips made on that kind of connection for each trip made between Lowell and Foxborough, and until those communities, who are disproportionately minority, have access to good transit, I won’t worry about the rail link.

There’s a reason this is called a gravity model: it’s an inverse square law, which can be generalized with calculus to cover a whole two dimensional field. Someone who is better at math than me probably already has mapped MA in this way. But the force of gravity between any two communities outside of Worcester-Boston-Springfield-Providence is probably going to be weak, or at least much weaker than the gravity pulling those commuters towards Worcester-Boston-Springfield-Providence.

So with these numbers in mind, who is the rail link for? Which communities are driving the demand for large scale movement of people not to Boston, but past it? Why should the MBTA take on the entire downtown MPA and MASSDot and the Legislature and try to build through the very land government center is on to link north station to south? Why not instead build from Fields Corner to Back Bay and give transit access to one of the most populous transit deserts in the city? Or From Maverick To Malden by way of Chelsea and Everett? It’s just such a low priority for me, and I think it should be for you too.

[philibetexcerpts]

On 8 May 1945, the VE Day, a national holiday, was declared in Britain, celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany and the end of World War II in Europe.

“ON 8 MAY 1945 THE crowds around the Victoria memorial outside Buckingham Palace were greater than they had been for the Coronation. Winston Churchill arrived in an open car, briefly spoke to the crowd, then entered the palace for lunch with the King and Queen. The people wanted more. ‘We want the King’ came the cry. The royal family emerged on to the balcony to tumultuous applause, eight times in total. The King wore his naval uniform and Princess Elizabeth was in her ATS uniform. Each time the people saw them, a great cheer went up – then they began to sing ‘For he’s a jolly good fellow’. Churchill later appeared and gave the ‘V’ sign to the crowds.

That night, fourteen-year-old Princess Margaret suggested they venture out on to the street. Swept up in the excitement of the moment, the King and Queen agreed. Margaret and Elizabeth, still proudly wearing her ATS uniform, along with fourteen or so others including Madame de Bellaigue, Crawfie and some Guards officers set off together, escorted by an equerry. Afraid of being recognised, Elizabeth pulled her uniform cap low over her eyes, but one of the officers declared he would not be seen with another officer who was improperly dressed, so she had to adjust her cap. All around them, people were dancing, crying, hugging and kissing and the party wandered to Parliament Square, then Piccadilly and as far as Park Lane, before visiting the Ritz and Dorchester Hotels, crossing Green Park and returning to the palace. For much of the route, they were swept up by the crowds and had to run. After repeated failures to go out incognito the Princess was finally free and unrecognised. All around her were, as she recalled, ‘lines of people linking arms and walking down Whitehall and all of us were swept along by tides of happiness and relief. They danced too – doing the ‘Lambeth Walk’ and the ‘Hokey-Cokey’. They even stood outside the palace and cried ‘We want the King’ with the crowds. It was a brief and exhilarating moment of freedom.”

Went to Montreal for the first time yesterday

Had fun, we mostly walked in circles of a few blocks radius from Dorchester Square. I didn’t get to do too much sightseeing given that it was raining on and off so my friends usually wanted to duck in and out of different shops. If I get a chance to go back, I would like to see some of the museums in the area.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Two of Quebec's largest unions joined a demonstration in downtown Montreal in the snow on Saturday in support of the Palestinian people. The march was largely focused on a demand for an Israeli ceasefire in Gaza. While previous demonstrations in Montreal were mostly organized by active pro-Palestine organizations and their supporters, Saturday's event was much wider in scope. The focus on Saturday was providing food and supplies to a starving population in Gaza and an immediate ceasefire from the state of Israel coupled with a long-term peace plan. The FTQ and CSN unions joined members of Quebec Solidaire and other groups in a march that began in Dorchester Square.

Town extensions with urbanism are a great idea

From Poundbury to the Pearl District, many of the most successful new urban projects have been extensions of a town or city. They take existing urbanism and build on it by expanding a walkable street network. Here are 10 examples of new urban plans and developments—eight in the US and two in England—that extend the street grid of a city or town:

Woodstock, Georgia

Pearl District in Portland, Oregon

Poundbury, Dorchester, England

Frisco Square, Frisco, Texas

Addison Circle, Addison, Texas

Bastrop, Texas

Kentlands and Lakelands, Gaithersburg, Maryland

South Main, Buena Vista, Colorado

Tregunnel Hill, Cornwall, England

Belmont, North Carolina
