Forest Hill’s white elephant of a bus yard
It used to be that any hard commitment to build a long-delayed, massively expensive MBTA bus yard at Forest Hills counted as good news. That was back when a warren of shabby industrial properties lined the neighborhood’s main drag, back when the notion of trading an unsightly bus maintenance yard stretching along Washington Street for a costly bus garage tucked off the street seemed like the best the neighborhood could possibly hope for. No longer. Things are far different in this corner of Jamaica Plain than they were 13 years ago, when the city and the T first struck a deal to move a portion of the T’s bus fleet to Forest Hills. The neighborhood is just beginning to realize its tremendous development potential. But it’s apparent that one of largest obstacles to the realization of that potential is the MBTA bus garage Forest Hills neighbors once clamored for.
