City streets projects, after a hiccup, taking shape. But advocates remain cautious.
On a damp weekday morning near a school crossing in Jamaica Plain, traffic did not so much flow as hesitate. A parent shifted a backpack higher on one shoulder and waited for a gap that never quite felt wide enough. The signal changed. The cars kept coming. Scenes like that have become the quiet background to a larger argument about pace, trust, and unfinished work. After a pause that left neighborhood groups unsure what would move and what would wait, Boston streets projects are taking shape again under interim leadership. The question on the sidewalk is no longer only whether the city intends to act. It is whether the next months will look different from the last ones.

Amtrak Tops Out Steel Structure for Boston M&I Facility
Amtrak topped out the steel structure for the new Maintenance & Inspection (M&I) facility in Boston. Amtrak says the building envelope is closing in with the placement of the final steel beam. The progress is an “important construction milestone at Southampton Yard,” and it reflects the collaboration between the contractor and Amtrak. The facility will support maintenance of the new Airo fleet that will debut in late 2027 on the Northeast Regional. Amtrak says more than 220,000 worker-hours have been completed since construction began.

A nurses' strike is averted, while a lack of urgency prevails on Beacon Hill
With less than eight hours to spare, Brigham and Women's Hospital nurses and Mass General Brigham late Wednesday managed to avert a potentially historic open-ended strike. Divided over cost-of-living increases, limits on temporary travel nurses and health insurance contributions, the parties negotiated for hours Monday and made "some progress" — but not enough to call off the strike. Even as Gov. Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu stopped by the session and called on the sides to strike a deal, it seemed likely thousands of nurses would end up streaming through Longwood Medical Area by 7 a.m. Thursday. No additional talks were scheduled.
