this heavy rail idea is stupid.
Although we thought the same thing about the lakeville line and Franklin before that.
Very few people in these communities work in BOS.

I go the opposite way down 24 almost every day the traffic is heavy NB.
When I go to my Needham office rather than my Newport post it takes me longer to get to Needham, 20 mi than Newport, 47 mi.
Thursday I had to go to Brockton from Needham at 1700 took me an hour to get there, 12 mi.

The infrastructure is overtaxed. it is going to take more years to expand 128.

If we had feeder lines from the beltways 495-128 or some type of organized ride share the money would be better spent.

Cadillac is just pandering to the unions for the jobs for construction not the final solution
