A new round of speed restrictions on the MBTA’s Red, Orange, Green and Blue lines made for a difficult commute Thursday night and Friday morning for riders relying on the public transit network. Though MBTA officials said they had lifted many of the new restrictions as of Friday morning around 10:30 a.m., frustration has lingered for some already impacted by previous public transit issues in the Boston area. “You prepare at a certain time and it comes either 10 minutes too early or five minutes too late and it throws off your whole schedule,” Makha Kekana, a restaurant server, said. “Then you get to work and you’re five minutes late and you have to explain ‘Oh I missed the T or the T didn’t come in time,’ so it can be a little frustrating.”Kekana gets paid hourly. She said she counts on the T to get her to work in time for her shift. Issues over the years, she said, have led to lost wages. “If you’re 30 minutes late, that’s like half your hourly wage that you h...Gov.

Officials announced speed restrictions on the Red, Orange, Blue and Green lines on Thursday night in response to findings from a site visit by the Department of Public Utilities on Monday of this week. In a press conference Friday morning, MBTA Interim General Manager Jeff Gonneville said restrictions were lifted on the Red, Orange, and Blue lines except for localized areas. Gonneville said that restrictions were still in place on the Green and Mattapan lines, where necessary inspections may take until Monday.“The T is unacceptable right now,” Healey said while attending an event in Springfield. Healey was visiting Springfield to address the city’s chamber of commerce. She told 7NEWS that she is “very concerned about what happened. “I have been really clear that our focus is on safety and reliability,” she said. “We’ve made that a top priority and we’re go...Chicago Bears free-agent tracker: Long snapper Patrick Scales to return

Devin McCourty earned several nicknames from his teammates. Perhaps it was Matthew Slater who came up with the best one.He called him “Mr. Patriot.”During a media session a few years back, Slater explained why he gave McCourty, who announced his retirement Friday, that moniker.“I just think of everything he embodies and what he stands for. Obviously his on-the-field play is elite, he’s one of the best players at his position in the league. On the field, he’s like another coach,” said Slater. “He’s so reliable, so consistent, his football I.Q. is the best that I’ve seen over the last several years. It’s up there with the best over the course of my career.“And then what he does off the field, as well. The type of man he is, his consistent character, the things that he does in the community, the type of teammate that he is. If you’re looking for a guy that you want to build a team around, you want young players to look to and model, that’...Tips for dealing with daylight saving time and less sleep from a Boston doctor: ‘Make smaller changes earlier’

Yay! We get more sunlight starting on Sunday, with 7 p.m. sunsets coming soon!While this is an exciting time of year as the clocks spring forward one hour for daylight saving time, those lighter evenings come at a cost.Losing an hour of sleep can lead to more traffic accidents, and scientific researchers have noticed an increase in heart attacks and strokes in the days following the change to daylight saving time each spring.“Loss of sleep is not a good thing,” said Milena Pavlova, medical director of the Sleep Testing Center at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital. “It affects peoples’ cognitive performance and their hormones.“The early part of the day is usually challenging for many people who are prone to better productivity at night,” Pavlova added.For teenagers with packed schedules and an early school start time, the transition can be especially hard.
