Where in Somerville has no T access?
- hga 12y agoI'm pretty sure bcardarella is referring to subway access, in which case "almost all of it" applies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MBTA_Boston_subway_map.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MBTA_Boston_subway_map.pn... There's a whole lot of nice housing in walking distance to Davis Sq. (well, as of the '80s, but I don't gather that's changed), and there are some adjacent stations, but the vast bulk of Somerville is bus, car, bike, or (long) walk access to where you're likely to want to go. Also, per Wikipedia: "To settle a lawsuit with the Conservation Law Foundation to mitigate increased automobile emissions from the Big Dig, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts agreed to extend the Green Line north to Somerville and Medford, two suburbs currently under-served by the MBTA." And per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Line_(MBTA)#Plans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Line_(MBTA)#Plans they're going to drive a spur of the Green Line straight through the middle of Somerville (and on to Medford). Someday. Hmmm, and this list of recent accidents makes me question the wisdom of riding on the Green Line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Line_(MBTA)#Incidents_and_accidents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Line_(MBTA)#Incidents_an... (which I did regularly for a couple of years without that sort of worry).
