Wow, I didn't realize how badly the Government Center station shutdown was affecting people. I presume you're talking about coming in on the Blue line and trying to get to the green. What's the best strategy- get out at State and walk to Park street? Or take the Orange to Downtown Crossing and walk the tunnel to Park?

Boston's really into transit-disrupting projects. Big Dig aside, the Longfellow is (mostly) out of commission for... three...years...

As a former resident, yipes. Sometimes it feels like they're trying to measure just how hard people want to live here.

Yeah, it's quite disruptive, especially to people commuting to Kendall from the North Shore.

Thankfully, the red line is still going, bike/pedestrian access is still allowed, and one car lane is open Boston-bound.
