How far we've come. This makes me so happy!

I was just being fresh. Motion simulators are objectively cool and by their nature safer than doing the real activity--I think I actually used one of the F1 simulators at the Petersen Automotive Museum several years ago. Was definitely a step above from the run of the mill "Cruisin' World"...

A video game arcade that promotes drinking and driving? Really smacks the ‘innovative’ in Innovation District.

To be clear, the Current Massachusetts Capital Investments Plan for 2024-2028 represents nearly $16 billion of infrastructure investment. The art of transportation planning for these big bucks boils down to identifying project need(s); scoping and advancing design of projects consistent with...

A below-ground people mover that's about 2,000 feet + elevators/escalators could probably reasonably move passengers post-security between Terminals A & E. Logan's already got the post-security underground infrastructure at Terminal A for the access to the satellite terminal--you could house a...

The latter.

Agreed. I'm actually more comfortable riding through the intersection of North Washington/Chelsea Street (City Square) than at Sullivan. I think by the time cars' light cycles let them into Sullivan, they accelerate far faster than is safe for vulnerable road users to make it around comfortably...

I agree. Although SLX and BNRD phases may improve some of the time estimates, it seems silly to me how lacking transit access to Logan is from cities north of Boston. Everett and Medford City Halls, for example, are <5 miles to Logan, but take 1 hour+ via transit to get to the airport terminals...

Pic was from the return flight—Japan (and JAL) was amazing—peak cherry blossom season! Loads of photos uploaded to my instagram @bocastonian if anyone’s interested. Also, one more bonus shot from before we left. We won a bid upgrade for JAL business class to Tokyo and got complimentary access...

Airside at Terminals C & E is looking a lot more colorful! Taken from my JAL flight yesterday evening.

I'm no design snob, but seeing images of this particular approved building makes me yearn for the day when cornices and ornamentation fall back into fashion.

Great change! In addition to being a public realm improvement already, this added commercial space definitely lays the ground work for Seaport/MBTA to up its ferry transportation game and have a great hub for ferry passengers to arrive to/depart from.

Thank you for this. This thread was starting to remind me of architectural critiques and sweeping, declarative statements in the mid-2010's getting bent out of shape over the Seaport neighborhood. All I wanted to do then and here was grab a megaphone and remind people: "Simmer down, it isn't...

Last I'd heard the project was awaiting some environmental/state reviews before it could be permitted to complete any work beyond site clearing. So that would effectively put in stand-by until further notice.

If/when the Assembly Station ped bridge extends to Draw 7 Park and meets the landing for proposed Mystic River Pedestrian Bridge, that'll unlock several thousand parking spaces at Assembly Row within 20-minute walk. East of Broadway, currently under review, is proposing 2,000+ parking spaces...
