Why did the Foot of the Rocks destroy the connection to the crosswalk

Is walking through bushes or in the road really the best that could be done? Who even approved having the sidewalk just end in plants?

Are you just never supposed to walk down that side of the road now?

I thought the work they were doing would result in less janky stairs than had been there, but instead it was removal of access entirely.

"Cambridge Center" - Red Line Anomaly

This is a pointless question but with the number of people who will be visiting for the world cup and may want to explore or will stay somewhere along the red line....

Does anyone know why the train announces and shows on the display "Cambridge Center" for Kendall/MIT?

It is, as far as im aware, the only time a line refers to a stop by something other than its name and as such I would think is very confusing for people not familiar.

Every other line and every other stop on the red line just refers to the stops by what every map and piece of station signage says. Someone is bound to miss the stop because they dont know the order and are just waiting for the name they were trying to navigate to.

I also have never referenced anything in Cambridge as Cambridge Center so I might be lost and I've lived here my whole life.

Finally it follows Central which makes the intermittent name anomaly just a little more confusing for the uninitiated if you are just listening for your stop according to the maps available.

Tldr: why does the mbta refer to it as Kendall/MIT in all places except the actual stop announcement made byt the robot?
