Surprise! Parts of it definitely are, not to mention the approach paths. https://i.imgur.com/BY0MVsE.jpg

I’d imagine the value of Logan’s real estate + economic potential of Boston without height restrictions and noise pollution would more than cover the cost of extending the Red Line to Hanscom with an express track, and potentially a commuter rail ring route which stops there as well. Only problem being that Concord NIMBYs would never allow it.

For how close it is, the transit connections aren’t very good. It’s a bit of a waste to deal with all the negative externalities of the close airport when the best way to get there is to drive.

The number you’re looking for is 75. That is the number of pedestrian fatalities in MA in 2021. For each fatality there are many more crashes, each of which can cause debilitating injury.

MA needs to legalize traffic enforcement cameras first. The T would make a killing if it put a camera on every bus and automatically ticketed any cars in the bus lane. The police don’t care enough to enforce it.
