Why is this not suitable as a permanent solution? Why would they keep you on the list to receive a donor's heart? It sounds like you're doing well with it (and to that I say, go you!).

Are you in support of re-utilizing the Tremont St Tunnel south of Boylston to provide Green Line light rail to Dudley Square? Silver Line Phase III would be absurdly expensive and achieve less economic impact than reusing the light rail tunnel -- you can provide more transit capacity to Dudley Sq and a one seat ride to points north of downtown by having this tunnel reused for the Washington St corridor. While you yourself do not have the power to authorize this, are you willing to give MassDOT and the state your support and continued lobbying efforts for this project?

Also on the topic of transit, are you in support of the Red-Blue Connector? This project can give East Boston residents better access to more jobs and a direct Red Line transfer. This would also open up capacity in the downtown core stations. This would improve regional mobility vastly, and would even open up East Boston to continued economic development. Again, I recognize you cannot authorize this project, but are you willing to give MassDOT and the state your support and continued lobbying efforts for this project?

Thank you for coming to Reddit and participating in an AMA. Will you do this again in the future? Thank you again for your time!

I appreciate that you say you will look into this, but with your rather short and dull response, I feel it may be brushed off. I do want to reinforce very much that this should definitely be looked at. The Green Line to Dudley is huge for people in the South End, Dudley Sq, Roxbury, and Grove Hall. And the Red-Blue connector is very huge for East Boston.

I'm sorry to tell you, but Boston Properties recently gutted the observation floor and converted it into a space suitable for offices. It may already be rented out, too.

Your friend is a damn fool. Get better friends -- maybe one of Marty's relatives.
