MBTA Takes New Pass At Track Worker Safety Plan

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:18:32 GMT

The MBTA will pilot new “worker ahead” warnings on some of its subway tracks, revise its radio communications about employees on the rails, amend training for dispatchers and more after drawing federal scrutiny for a series of dangerous incidents. T officials on Monday submitted a revised work plan to the Federal Transit Administration, meeting the regulatory agency’s deadline for another pass at laying out immediate reforms that will mitigate risks that employees face while on the rail right-of-way. One of the main steps the T will take this summer is piloting a new signage program flagging when workers are ahead of trains in the Green Line’s central tunnel. In a letter to the FTA alongside the plan, MBTA General Manager Phil Eng said officials selected that location because “a majority of the near miss incidents” that generated concerns “took place near Copley Station.” Several changes were already underway before the Monday deadline...

Frustrations boil over for Alex Cora in series finale loss to Rays

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:18:32 GMT

After nearly a week in Boston, the Tampa Bay Rays departed on Monday evening, finally bringing an end to a frustrating series for the home team.Baseball’s winningest team arrived last Wednesday night, enjoyed a day off on Thursday and were rained out on Friday before finally beginning their four-game set against the American League East’s last-place Red Sox.To paraphrase Bill Hader’s iconic “Saturday Night Live” character Stefon, this series had everything: a heartbreaking injured list stint for Chris Sale (left shoulder inflammation), the club’s first scheduled doubleheader since 1978, a slew of defensive blunders, a surprising roster move, and an ejection.But most of all, it was a long weekend of countless brutal reminders that whether they scrimp or spend, this team still keeps landing at the bottom of the standings, craning up at a frugal-but-ferocious Florida team.The Rays were already the only team in baseball with 40 wins when they came to ...

Federal monitor: Too many people in NYC are stopped, searched and frisked illegally

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:18:32 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s reliance on the tactic known as “stop and frisk” as part of a new initiative to combat gun violence is harming communities of color and running afoul of the law, a court-appointed federal monitor reported Monday.Monitor Mylan Denerstein said the NYPD ‘s Neighborhood Safety Teams — special units deployed in the past 14 months to seize guns in high-crime areas — were engaging in “unconstitutional policing” by stopping and frisking too many people without justification.In one police precinct, Denerstein said, only 41 percent of stops, 32 percent of frisks and 26 percent of searches were lawful.The Neighborhood Safety Teams, a replacement for the anti-crime units that the NYPD disbanded in 2021, operate in 34 areas that account for 80% of the city’s violent crime — largely communities of color. Of the people the teams have stopped, Denerstein said, 97% are Black or Hispanic.A spokesperson for Mayor Eric Adams said city officials “have se...

Louisiana Senate passes bill banning gender-affirming care for transgender youths

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:18:32 GMT

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A controversial bill — that at one point had been presumed dead — banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youths in Louisiana was passed by the Senate on Monday and is likely to reach the governor’s desk in the coming days.The bill, which passed in the Senate mainly along party lines, 29-10, would prohibit hormone treatments, gender-affirming surgery and puberty-blocking drugs for transgender minors in Louisiana. The measure will go back to the House, which has already overwhelmingly passed the legislation, to approve of minor amendments, including pushing back the effective date of the law to Jan. 1, 2024.If the House concurs, the legislation would be sent to the desk of Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat who opposes it. Edwards has not said whether he would veto the bill. If he does, lawmakers could convene a veto session to try to override his decision. Last session, Edwards chose not to block a law banning transgender athletes from part...
