Reply to comment by gravytrain2112 in Opening in January, new Pawtucket/CF train station set in motion two decades ago by ToadScoper

South Attleboro was a death trap, it was a built during the cookie-cutter era of MBTA stations during the 1970s-1980s

That was one of the plans, however that station was never allocated funding through their capital plan. Yes they could have used overpass as it was mentioned in one of their meetings, however it wouldn’t have been fiscally feasible to do that and be able to accommodate handicapped access.

Unfortunately, the MBTA has a lackluster history of designating temporary station platforms during reconstructions… I doubt it will happen for south Attleboro
