Talk:Longfellow Bridge

message: When I read the part about the locals calling it the "Salt and Pepper Bridge", I immediately wondered why they would call it that. This would be a good thing to include in the article. Also, great pictures, kudos to whoever took them. EdGl 03:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Why "Salt and Pepper Bridge"?

message: Seems to me this article should be assessed as WikiBridges "Mid" importance.  How do these articles get assessed? Denimadept 16:32, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Assessment 

message: What does this mean?  Did it burn through the bridge deck from below?  This is not a covered bridge, so it has no roof. - Denimadept 20:55, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Burned through the "roof" of the bridge? 

message: The article states that the current Blue Line (of the MBTA subway system) runs across the Longfellow and into the tunnel system,  this should read the current Red Line (I know for a fact that it's currently the Red Line, but I can't even find a reference to what is now the Blue Line ever running as far as the Longfellow Bridge).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.102.235 (talk) 21:57, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You need to read it more carefully.  It says that this was the case until 1952, and cars were brought across the bridge afterwards until the Blue Line got its own yard. - Denimadept (talk) 22:36, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blue Line/Red Line: Possible confusion in article 

message: Downstream vs. upstream.  Yes and no.
I decided last evening to actually walk on the downstream side. (That's the side facing more towards the Museum of Science). One thing that I'd note is on the Boston shore of the Charles you literally have about a 1 foot span of sidewalk leading onto the Bridge.  Then you have to step onto the curb's edge to literally get around a light pole or step down into the side of the street (or "gutter") of Rte 3. The downstream side I would not-- recommend for anyone in a wheelchair capacity. I've always walked on the upstream side. (Facing more towards the Prudential, Esplanade, and Back Bay.) I don't recall having to step out into the street to get around light poles there? So basically in some parts I believe the upstream sidewalk could be more narrow as well.

replies: text: Consider the source was the Boston Glob, according to reference 3.  If you have a good source of such data, please feel free to update this value and include your reference. - Denimadept (talk) 00:18, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

text: Interesting.  The source specified does not contain this data.  Let's see... - Denimadept (talk) 00:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

text: Fixed.  The reference #3 mentioned above is now reference #4. - Denimadept (talk) 00:35, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
