MBTA Board Updates: Bus Projects Make a Comeback

A map of the Boston region highlighting proposed high-frequency bus routes in the MBTA's bus network redesign. Highlighted route segments in green indicate existing bus lanes (including Silver Line's Washington Street through the South End in Boston, Huntington Ave, the Columbus Avenue bus lanes in Roxbury, and segments of Massachusetts Ave. across the Charles River and in Arlington). Pink segments indicate bus priority corridors being planned, including Blue Hill Ave. and Warren Street for the route 28, and Western Avenue in Allston. Yellow highlighted segments indicate "new bus priority needed," on streets like Meridian St. in East Boston and Arsenal St. in Watertown.

A map of Northampton and Easthampton showing existing segments of the Manhan Rail Trail, which connects the two towns in a C shape. The Connecticut River meanders on the right side of the map. An east-west spur of the Manhan Rail Trail in Easthampton, which forms the bottom of the "C" shape, would be extended north towards downtown Northampton in an upcoming project. A dotted straight line indicates the location of that project. The dotted line stops just south of downtown Northampton and runs alongside the Silvio O. Conte Wildlife Refuge next to the river.
