A developer that proposed an apartment building on 142-146 St. Mary's Street, on the Boston side of the border with Brookline last year has submitted new plans that call for a slightly smaller building, but one with a pedestrian path running from the Fenway stop on the Green Line on one side of the building to Medfield Street on the other.

Kenmore Square turned into a trolley graveyard this morning, after one just left this mortal coil, jamming up the works. At 9:51 a.m., the MBTA reported it was still bustituting riders on the C and D lines, while B Line riders were able to ride the rails once again.
At 11:20 a.m., the MBTA reported delays of up to 15 minutes on the Riverside Line as workers "assisted a turtle from the tracks" at Chestnut Hill.

Green Line stopped due to baby ducks.
Mbcrowley snapped an inbound D Line trolley just past Waban around 7 tonight:
No One is using the T … yes some will board but they have a ton of work to do to get people back and spending $$$ on consultants to figure out how to save money is not going to get riders
The MBTA was forced to rustle up some buses to get Riverside Line riders between Fenway and Reservoir due to an issue with the overhead wires near Brookline Hills.
Brookline.news reports the woman charged with the Longwood graffiti was recently fired from a job at the MBTA.

At 1:45 p.m., the MBTA reported it was rolling out buses to take the place of Riverside trolleys between Reservoir and Kenmore due to a train that kicked the bucket at Brookline Village.
Hey, remember back in the day when the Green Line kept having embarrassing pantograph problems, and the T said in one case it was because the line was too new and in other cases it was because the lines were too old? And then the T promised it was doing stuff to fix the problems?
Yeah, good times. The T reports it's running shuttle buses instead of trolleys along the C and D lines because of a new pantograph problem at Kenmore Square.
The MBTA reported at 11:42 a.m. that it had gone to D Line bustitution between Fenway and Reservoir "due to excessive water at Brookline Hills."
The MBTA reports inbound delays of 20 minutes on the D Line due to a train that left this mortal coil at Reservoir.
The MBTA reports 15-minute delays on the D Line due to a trolley that has lost the will to live at Reservoir.
Some of those charter buses will still come in handy later this week, when the T shuts down the Green Line's entire D branch for a total of 27 days over the next six weeks or so. Read more.
It's not just that the Blue Jays scored 28 runs at Fenway tonight (fans started chanting "Let's go Blue Jays!"), but the T reports an inbound Green Line trolley mistook itself for a Sox player and died at Fenway.
Roving UHub photographer Anna Geneva captured the Longwood Green Line stop tonight.
She probably enjoyed the view a bit more than the driver who managed to get a beefy SUV stuck on the Green Line in Cooldige Corner - not to mention the people in the trolleys on either side who got blocked by it, like Agiocochook1: Read more.
Updated with news about another trolley getting snagged tonight.
A mechanism at the mouth of the Riverside Line's Fenway tunnel that is supposed to help protect the tunnel from flooding is now damaging some pantographs that power trolleys as they move between the underground and surface-level tracks. Read more.
The T is running buses between Fenway and Reservoir because of some sort of power problem on the Riverside Line near Beaconsfield.
