A horizontal strip diagram of the MBTA's Red Line between JFK/UMass (at left) and Braintree (at right) showing service alternatives during the November 15 – 23 closure of the Braintree branch. A dotted black line connects (from left to right) the North Quincy, Wollaston, Quincy Center, Quincy Adams, and Braintree stops, indicating bus shuttle service. A purple line parallel to the red line indicates the Old Colony commuter rail lines, which stops at JFK/UMass, Quincy Center, and Braintree. At the bottom of the map is the Ashmont branch of the Red Line, which will operate as usual.

A view down a long, straight bike path at dusk. In the center is a painted yellow line stretching to the horizon; to the left is a chain link fence with bands of horizontal lighting illuminating the path at regular intervals from underneath a steel railing at waist height. On the right is a 2-story brick warehouse building with illuminated windows and graffiti art. In the middle distance are two people blurred from a long photo exposure walking along the path.
