I believe so, if done correctly. I think if there was better ground level and a good amount of units (instead of .. like 125 penthouse type apartments) it would work best.
Although, some of the projects I work on in Manhattan are replacing street level businesses with these 30-75+ floor towers...
Oh great another meeting for wealthy, older, white bostonians with a $4 million condo in the neighborhood to complain about how a 300ft building will RUIN their quality of life and create traffic in the downtown of America’s sixth largest urban core.
The meeting will be nothing but a joke...
Yeah I was just visiting Boston this past weekend and The Blue Line would be so much more useful if it extended to like Kenmore or Lynn. Like one other place. Lol. It feels so short.
well, what about the four hours they choose not to run the trains?
also, cant they interline the tracks? Can the Braintree train run on Ashmont lines if they need to do work on one of the tracks?
My friend is in Boaton and took the Red Line and she said it was going painfully slow.
How bad can this red line be? Its not a 24/7 line, they have atleast 4 hours every night to do work. I work for the MTA now and we would kill for this time. What exactly is Boston doing? Are they doing work...
Is this an actual proposal, formally submitted, or more or less a fantasy? I don’t see any project specific documents. But perhaps I am just bad at navigating Boston project info!
Honestly, yes. If they cut the pensions down and just increased the pay a bit... it would be a big W and attract more people.
i am not sure how the MBTA works but the MTA is giving me close to 15k in pension benefits when I calculate it out. I could retire at 55 if I wanted to, no lie. Its...
they pay the starting salary, the lowest figure.
Transportation Planners get 66k to start at the T. At the MTA it is $75.5k. I went through both of these and the MBTA pays significantly lower than others. The COL is in a way higher in Boston area over NYC arwa because I live in Bergen County NJ...
