Green Line Extension

The Green Line Extension (GLX) was a construction project to extend the light rail Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Green Line northwest into Somerville and Medford, two inner suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. The project opened in two phases in 2022 at a total cost of $2.28 billion. Total ridership on the 4.3-mile (6.9 km) extension is estimated to reach 45,000 one-way trips per day in 2030.

This includes all seven stations built during the project. The final article was just promoted to GA. --Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:48, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support: There's no shared category or navbox, and the rolling, "phased" nature of such projects makes the boundaries of the topic less well-defined (should Mystic Valley Parkway station be here, too? It's mentioned in the main article of the topic...). I guess it just about works. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 15:19, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bryanrutherford0 I've now created Category:Green Line Extension. Because Mystic Valley Parkway is only proposed at this point, I don't think it's necessary to include it in the topic for a project that's otherwise been completed. If you/others think it's necessary, I would be willing to expand it and take it to per review. (General consensus seems to be that railway station articles shouldn't go to GA at least until design is finalized and they're actively under construction.)

Support ~~Comments~~ fix MOS:CAPS issues with refs capitalizing full words, remove Wikimedia Commons per Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a reliable source, ref 16 on Union Square is missing a work/publisher, are you sure Patch is reliable and why are bullet points used in the first section of Green Line Extension? If these are fixed I fully support; this topic is complete without Mystic Valley Parkway station since that has only been proposed, the articles are heavily detailed and congratulations on finding so many suitable pictures! --K.

@Kyle Peake CAPS and ref 16 issues fixed, and bullet points removed. Patch is generally fine for run-of-the-mill local news like bridge closures, as it's used here. The sources hosted on Commons are all scans of official documents (maps and timetables) and not user-generated content. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:55, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
