We're co-hosting the final Senate Democratic primary debate tonight between Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Seth Moulton. The hourlong debate starts at 8 p.m., and will be livestreamed on our website and broadcast on the radio on 90.9 FM. Both candidates come into the debate fresh off new endorsements: The Boston Globe editorial board backed Moulton this week, while Markey just unveiled a long-awaited endorsement from Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez this morning. If you want to brush up on the race, read our factcheck of the last debate. But first, an important heads up for your commute: Shutdown summer, continued: A big chunk of the Orange Line is closed (on purpose this time). Today marks the start of an 11-day shutdown (Aug. 20-30) between Oak Grove and Back Bay for track and signal upgrades. (Yes, that's more than half the line.) Among other things, MBTA officials say the work will "soon" allow Orange Line trains to go 55 mph as far south as Community College station, after the trains hit that speed for the first time ever last year in areas north of Assembly. But first, Orange Line riders will have to endure disrupted commutes. Here's a look at your backup options: - Shuttles: Free shuttle buses will run between Oak Grove and North Station. There'll also be express shuttles that will stop only at Oak Grove, Malden Center, Wellington and North Station. But as you probably well know, these buses can be a slog during rush hour. The T says riders traveling downtown from Oak Grove should plan for their regular commute to take "at least an additional 70 minutes."
- Commuter rail: The Haverhill line will be free between Oak Grove and North Station — a 20-minute ride. You can also hop on at Malden Center. Check the schedule here.
- Traveling downtown? The T suggests the Green Line between North Station and the Back Bay area. The Green Line's Copley station is roughly a four-minute walk from Back Bay station. And the T will be leaving the fare gates open at both Copley and Back Bay.
- On two wheels: Bluebikes is also back with some free ride credits during the closure (though anyone, not just Orange Line riders, can redeem them). Just enter "BCBSMAORANGE26" in the “Rewards” section of the Bluebikes app to get $10 in credits.

Case closed: After a nearly 30-month legal saga, Massachusetts' top court ruled yesterday that Boston can continue work to rebuild Franklin Park's White Stadium for public school students and a new professional women's soccer team, the Boston Legacy. It's a big win for Mayor Michelle Wu, who has championed the project and was "thrilled" by yesterday's court ruling. WBUR's Eve Zuckoff has more on the reaction from both sides here. - The legal argument in a nutshell: A lawsuit filed by the Emerald Necklace Conservancy and a group of Boston residents alleged that the city's plan violated state law against privatizing parkland. But the state's Supreme Judicial Court said in its decision that the stadium is not on parkland, but rather on land managed by Boston's school district. (The court also ruled that the plaintiffs didn't have standing to sue.)
- What's next: Wu said the ruling allows the project to "move forward without further delay." According to the city's website, they're aiming for "a Summer 2027 opening," as we reported earlier this spring.
Line down: Milton officials will stop using an anonymous tip line to investigate students' residencies. The news comes after a recent Boston Globe report found Black students were disproportionately investigated by the school district, with police being used to visit homes and even count bedrooms in some cases. - What's next: At a School Committee meeting yesterday, Milton's interim superintendent, John Phelan, said the district will begin issuing twice-a-year residency investigation reports instead. According to the Globe, Phelan reiterated that the district does not discriminate against students, but wanted to ensure residency checks were "respectful." Some parents argued the district should stop using police altogether.
P.S.— You can swing by Boston Public Market today for Massachusetts' annual tomato contest, a late-summer tradition that's been going for more than four decades. The contest will feature dozens of entries from farms across the state in four categories: slicing, heirloom, cherry and heaviest (the high number to beat from last year: 2.84 pounds). Winners get these unique tomato-topped trophies. Members of the public can stop by starting at 11 a.m. |
