Guerrilla mapmakers step up on the T

Neal spotted this hand-drawn Green Line Extension on a system map at Haymarket the other day.
Jessica Dello Russo, meanwhile, shows that Haymarket could stand some guerrilla leak sealers and mold-remediation experts, too:
More and more @MBTA stations are getting thought-provoking works of art; check out nature farm at Haymarket. Microbic activity is amazing stuff, and can really grow on you, right? Even in you if you wait long enough for that train. @universalhub pic.twitter.com/A4vt4a5n9l

That's the weirdest dick graffiti
that I've ever seen.
That's not a leak!
That is what remains of the Mill Creek, for which Creek Square is named. https://www.alamy.com/creek-square-in-north-boston-is-the-last-remaining...
Its been there since the station opened. No amount of engineering will deny the Creek its path. Hop over it if you dare, but don't miss, the perpetual slime on the tiles will send you skidding into the abyss of the Orange Line track bed, itself teaming with ROUS, needles and the discarded dreams of an actual transit system.
Rodents of Unusual Size?
I don't think they exist.
Haymarket
Haymarket Station has always been like that. Even when it was modernized in the 90s, it still leaked. The ped tunnel between the orange and green lines is scary because it's had a waterfall for as long as I can remember.
Why is it so hard for the T to coordinate with whoever is causing the leak to fix it? Most leaks are caused by leaky water mains. (our piping system is OLD and made of wood in some parts)
