Eliot (Green Line)

Alrighty, Eliot, this one’s for you!

Helvetica!

So, Eliot isn’t exactly known for being around much. At the station itself, you have some parking (oh my, another park & ride), your usual heated glass shelter, and accessible boarding. There’s also a bike rack on the outbound side (why???), with access from local streets. You’ve also got access from MA-9, but why would you want to cross a wannabe freeway???? Just, why?

Bye!
Looking towards Riverside!
Parking!

The good: It’s got lots of local access from the immediate area. Plus, the usual pluses of the D branch with heated waiting areas.

The bad: The nearby highway kills it. Also, there’s no accessible boarding – DESPITE THE SIGNS DESIGNATING ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCES/EXITS. WHY, HOW, WHY?! WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO WALK UP/DOWN THE RAMP ON ROUTE 9?!

Nearby points of interest: Not a lot over here.

Green Line (D)

Overall, this station actually kinda sucks. No accessible boarding and it’s right next to a highway, it’s gonna be pretty bad overall. Ugh.

Rating: 5.5/10
