    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    Nobody wants to hear about people losing their jobs, but I hope some better use can be made of this parcel.

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    Very little left now - all the vertical bits are gone that faced Sudbury Street. Two "cells" are left closest to the surviving part of the garage, and the bottom most floor.

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    The garage remains look really strange from above:

    MBTA Construction Projects

    Concrete ties are noisier than wooden ties, be and so probably not suitable here.

    General Boston Discussion

    Maybe there's a chance that we'll see something else get built at Bulfinch crossing instead of that lab bulding?

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    It looks almost as if the artist has smooshed India Street and Broad Street together - you can see the One India St. apartments right behind the custom house, but immediately to its left is 33 Broad street. The Grain Exchange building is shown sorta where the Insurance Exchange building is...

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    There seems to be some oddities in that 20th Century Boston image. The Grain Exchange building is not next door to the Customs House as it appears in that drawing.

    Downtown Crossing/Financial District | Discussion

    True, but nothing could make me happier than knowing that that faded old Barnes and Noble facade is gone forever....

    Regional New England Rail (Amtrak & State DOT & NEC)

    Could you help me understand this point in a little more detail? Do you mean that some stations could have extra tracks laid across space currently occupied by the low level platform? Thus therefore you could not build a high level platform in the current station geometry?

    One Post Office Square Makeover and Expansion | Financial District

    Putnam was in there; they just recently moved to 100 Fed.

    Rose Kennedy Greenway

    Bonus post: I had nearly forgotten about the YMCA proposal for Parcel 6, cancelled due to cost. Maybe someday with the garage gone something could happen here:

    Rose Kennedy Greenway

    May as well add some images of the New Center for Arts and Culutre that was supposed to be across from International Place. I still recall it being described by someone on the old forum as a "crushed egg carton atop some popsicle sticks". This parcel isn't too bad as it is today, unlike parcel 12.

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    The dark colored stuff hanging on the corridor from the lifts to the old offices hangs way down to the street, which makes me wonder how they intend to demolish it:

    Copley Place could use this treatment:

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    The new trainset is running again right now -- you can see when it or new type 9 cars are running on the Where are Boston's new trains today? website.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    Anyone know how they intend to roll out the new trains vs the old ones? For instance are the new trains intended to build up numbers before starting to retire the old ones?

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    WBUR has an interesting article today on the costs of transition to all electric buses. As (I think) we heard for F-Line before, the current bus facilities are in poor condition and would require substatial investment to make them ready. It includes a link to an A Better City study PDF which...

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    From an 2015 Globe article: Wouldn't reducing the spot count here just permit other commercial projects to add 1100 spaces?
