This rendering of Back Bay is from inside the station facing the street. A glass wall shows the Back Bay Logan Express bus passing by. Inside, there is a staircase with blue tiling that leads down to the train platforms. Commuters are walking up the stairs, through the station, and sitting down.

Construction Is Underway On Back Bay Station Makeover

A photograph of a bridge construction zone in winter. In the foreground a metal crash barrier and chain link fence separate a concrete sidewalk (left) from a multi-lane roadway (right). In the middle distance another fence blocks the sidewalk, with an orange "detour" sign pointing right towards the roadway behind an orange construction barrel. In the distance, a crash barrier in the roadway separates car traffic from a temporary sidewalk across the bridge. On the left edge of the photo a second pedestrian bridge joins with the sidewalk.

A bike lane on a wide city street in winter is blocked by a highway crash barrier that extends from the lower left corner of the image to the curb in the middle distance.

Friday’s Headlines Wrote Themselves

A rendering of a wide street from a birds-eye perspective. The center of the street features a red dedicated busway, with two lanes (one in each direction) separated from adjacent traffic with landscaped medians and bus stop waiting area platforms. General motor vehicle traffic is confined to 1-2 lanes on either side of the busway. Along the sidewalks are green dedicated bike lanes, which are generally separated from the adjacent car lanes by gardens surrounded by curbs. A label in the upper left denotes the Mattapan Branch of the Boston Public Library, and another label denotes the intersecting street as Walk Hill St.

In the foreground, on the near side of the garden, is a sidewalk with a newly-planted tree next to an asphalt-paved bike lane. On the far side of the garden, a white SUV travels on the street. Behind the car is a red-painted crosswalk marked with two diamond street signs.
