There are so many passenger rail projects proposed for Massachusetts that it is a challenge to keep track of them all, and they are all competing for attention from the governor and legislators. One approach would be to stop looking at them incrementally and instead look at the Big Picture. As in Big Rail.
That’s what former state Senate President Stanley Rosenberg, an Amherst Democrat, and James Aloisi, a former secretary of transportation under Governor Deval Patrick, make the case for in a recent piece in Commonwealth Magazine. They maintain that the incremental approach is insufficient to address transportation issues that plague the state from Boston to the Berkshires.
