We thought it was bad enough when we discovered that the MBTA had closed the Arlington Station Entrance and exits for renovations through 2008. It happens to be the station closest to our wedding venue. Thankfully people can still use the Berkeley entrances, but it's a slightly longer walk, and doesn't open up right at the public garden. But at least people will still be able to use the station.
Today, JBar forwarded this gem published on the Globe's local news site:
Summer repairs on Green Line will halt D branch trains
"The shutdown will commence on June 23, 2007*."
Great, thanks guys.
At least there are supposed to be bus shuttles and extra express buses. And the notice says something about "distributing materials and making other preparations for the major production work activity." Hopefully that means the lines will still actually be running. But who knows?
We'll cross our fingers and hope that peeps will still be able to take public transportation and get to the ceremony on time.
UPDATE: just called the MBTA and it's confirmed -- they're shutting down the D line from Riverside to Reservoir starting on the 23rd. Yeah, thanks Boston, we love you, too.
* For those that didn't pick up on it, that's the day we're getting married.
