39 toward Forest Hills has always been bad. So much loading and unloading along Huntington -- we really ought to at least have the infrastructure in place so that buses and trains never wait at lights.

I'm not an urban planner but they should make Huntington just for pedestrians, bikes, buses and the T from the J-way to the MFA. The current situation trying to please everybody is a death trap for cyclist, a mess for public transport (with some of the worst and most dangerous stops in all the T network) and an eyesore.

They do currently have a bus lane from Brigham to mass ave.

💯... but as I've come to find out more and more, much of MA politics is people being afraid of slippery slopes and thus pedestrianizing Huntington (and don't get me started on Newbury) would be quite a battle.

Some of the stops are only a few blocks away from each other. I always thought it was ridiculous.
