Second Train To Pats Game Will Be Available, MBTA Says

BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — The MBTA announced on Thursday that for the first time, it will be offering a second round-trip train service between South Station and Foxboro for fans in need of transportation to Patriots games.

More than 1,200 riders will be able to catch a ride to four New England Patriots home games this season.

For home games on Sept. 7, Sept. 21, Sept. 28, and Dec. 14, the new Boston train will depart at 10 a.m. from South Station. Trains start leaving Gillette Stadium 30 minutes after the games end.

All train tickets are available for sale on the MBTA mTicket app, and more information can be found on their website here.

NewsRadio)\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> — Residents in Somerville are waiting for the city to complete construction on the nearly two miles of cracks and crevices on Highland Avenue that still exist a year after the road work began, making travel uncomfortable for residents.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>"The bus ride is really rough, like there’s some parts of this road where you’re like bouncing in the seat, and the seats are hard, so it’s not pleasant," said one resident.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\”https://wbznewsradio.iheart.com/content/fall-festival-returns-to-somerville/\” target=\”_blank\”>\u003cstrong>Read More: Fall Festival Returns To Somerville\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>A large chunk of the road was repaved on Highland Avenue last year after sewer utility work, but crews left unpaved lanes to the curb, and the work doesn’t extend to Davis Square. Now the city wants to add two-way protected bike lanes by 2030, although some cyclists avoid the area altogether. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>"It’s not good. It’s not a pleasant street to bike on. I avoid biking on this street at all costs as like someone who doesn’t have a car," another resident stated.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>The city council recently passed a resolution demanding answers from the mayor’s office on the delays surrounding the project.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>"The issue with the Highland Ave redesign is that where we stand is nowhere," City Councilor Ben Ewen-Campen, who pushed for the resolution, told WBZ NewsRadio. "There has been absolutely no movement or progress on redesigning this street for years. Back in 2019, 2020, the city made a public, clear commitment that we were going to redesign Highland Ave. We were going to make it safe for cyclists, for pedestrians, for people who take the T, and there have been a number of public meetings, a number of public commitments, and yet here we are, four or five years later, nothing has been done. There are no plans as far as I can tell. We’re just kind of sitting in purgatory."\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>When asked about last year’s repaving that was not followed up on, Ewen-Campen said, "The point of doing the partial repaving was that we were going to launch a robust community process to actually redesign and rebuild Highland Ave, so you don’t want to dump a bunch of money into a massive paving project now that’s just going to get ripped up. The issue is that we don’t actually seem to be doing that redesign process now, so basically what we have is a kind of temporary fix for part of Highland Ave, and no clear timeline for when we’re going to get a Highland Ave that’s actually safe."\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>On what Somerville residents can do about the situation, the councilor said, "People should reach out to their elected officials and let them know that this is a really top priority, and that we can’t keep just kicking the can down the road. I’ve been having these conversations for years. Every couple years, it is reaffirmed to that this is a priority, that the urgency is heard and felt by the administration. I’ve just gotten to a point now where until I’ve seen action, I think it’s all talk."\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>WBZ NewsRadio reached out to the city as well. The latest update from the city was more than 18 months ago, which stated that the full redesign and reconstruction would begin earlier this year. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WBZ NewsRadio’s Jay

expert on grimy careers.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp> ‘Dirty Jobs’ host Mike Rowe stopped by the facility on Thursday to speak with the workers on site, thanking and encouraging them for their hard work. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>“It’s the enthusiasm for the work, the pride in it, and the eagerness of people to say, ‘Mike, come here man, let me show you what I’m doing, let me show you what I built today,’” said Rowe. “It’s just great to be around.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Suffolk Construction General Manager Patrick Lucey was in attendance at the event and spoke about the exciting energy throughout the facility. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>"Having the opportunity to interact with somebody with those different types of experiences, but also that’s so down to earth and so real, the excitement was pretty positive," said Lucey. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Suffolk Construction Chairman and CEO John Fish was also at the event and gifted Rowe and his organization with a $100,000 donation.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>"That will go right into our work ethics scholarship program at Mike Rowe Works. We award scholarships for men and women who want to pursue a career in the trades, and we’ve been doing that now for 17 years," said Rowe. "I don’t think you’ll find a bigger booster in this world who understands better than John Fish how important it is to close the skills gap."\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Rowe took the time to speak about skilled trades and the confusion surrounding them, as he said they may be experiencing a decline in numbers.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>“Part of the reason there’s such a skills gap is that there’s a lot of misperceptions and myths about the kind of living you can make doing this,” said Rowe. “I hope being here today, and I hope with all the cameras around, that the people doing the work will know that people do pay attention, people are impressed, and people are grateful, I certainly am.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>In addition to praising the workers for their labor, Rowe also stayed for pictures and
