Progress

Posted on Friday 16 June 2006

I still dread the day they introduce the automatic fare card machines on the Green Line, but I will give credit to the T for using the Charlie Card as an occasion to open up and revamp entrances long since neglected. The Symphony and Prudential stops finally have a proper gate, as they were originally designed. State Street Orange Line looks like it will have a North entrance. And some sort of construction seems to indicate that Arlington stop may get its Berkeley Street entrance reopened. The one note of sadness I have there is that the beautiful tiling and signage they’ve unearthed (likely not original… looks like 20s or 30s, but a lot better than the current look) has recently been spraypainted over, instead of being restored as I originally hoped. The horror!

UPDATE: At least they had the sense to leave the “Scollay Under” sign at Government Center.
