BOSTON – From the razing of the West End in the 1950s to the more recent Big Dig, Boston's urban renewal projects aren't points of universal pride among local residents.
Yet today's Boston, the city people know and love, owes its current look and feel to some of those projects. Even some of the less-positive developments can be seen as part of the evolution that made Boston the city it is today.
BOSTON — After scrapping extended-hours service on weekends, the MBTA control board on Wednesday directed staff to seek measures for improving transit service for racial minorities and low-income riders.
Those measures, posed as mitigation for the late-night service elimination after action by federal regulators, could feature greater frequency on early morning trips, including bus routes to East Boston and Revere, according to official T documents.
