This thread asks: what has changed in travel and commuting patterns pre- to post-pandemic? Ridership remains 60-70% what it was pre-Covid, and yet at the same time, traffic all across the city is worse than it's ever been. Why is this? I haven't really seen any satisfactory analyses of either...

Surprised that there isn’t a thread for Dedham. I don’t have pics but saw two different large-appearing projects on Washington, near the Dedham-Boston line. Figured I’d mention.

I saw two pair of fieldstone abutments on the Charles yesterday way out in Medway and Millis and figured out they belonged to the Medway Branch Railroad, which only existed 1852-1863 or so. You can't even see the old ROW from aerial, it's been abandoned for so long. Does anyone have any...

I didn’t see anything on this so making a new thread. Perhaps when aB gets the eventual reorganization we’ve been talking about, there can be a sub-portal to all unbuilt infrastructure projects. Anyway, I have this map on my wall and have always been curious about why a road that could only...

It appears all threads related to making a new forum, then the subsequent discussion of revamping this site instead, have been deleted... I am confused.

I wanted to start a thread specifically devoted to the natural environment and ecology in the Boston area. I was thinking this would be a place to - discuss any issues of environmental threats, related or not related to specific developments or proposed projects - ideas about preservation -...

So I drove by this today and had no idea what it was. I was totally unaware that this had been approved and was u/c - I thought nothing for this next Jackson phase has been finalized at all - it’s two buildings and will be a huuuge victory for this area. Still not sure what the electrical...

This has been discussed on here before, but I do not believe it has its own thread, and I think it deserves one. I don't have time right now to upload all the images and links, but it's sponsored by Walk-Up Roslindale and has the support of the city and cautiously, of the Arboretum. I am not...

I don't think there's a dedicated station thread for this. There was a flurry of discussion on this board during the Millennium construction about how we all wished part of that project included a rebuild of DTX. The only thing I've seen or heard about this even being considered is a local...

I'm starting this thread as a general discussion on what the Kendall Square area needs - really an overall forum to encompass retail, housing, architecture, urban design, and transportation infrastructure — but, regarding the latter, major discussions on public transit improvements or urban ring...

I don't know where to put this, since new parks are neither infrastructure nor developments, really... but the Port Norfolk Park has been open for a few months now and is incredibly nice. At first glance it seems a little too much of green lawn, but there are many stands of baby trees that in...

This was shared in another thread... I think the region in general has pretty bad traffic so if other proposals happen they can go here as well... https://www.massdot.state.ma.us/Portals/17/docs/Everett/EverettPublicMeeting41316.pdf

Not sure if anyone saw this one...

This thread might not get much use but I was thinking that it might be nice to have a place to list good books people have read and would Recommend to other readers about all things urban in Boston. Since it's a small subject, I would also include books about the history and culture of the city...

Well this thread might not get too much action but I was just thinking how much more sense it would have made for a tunnel under the mystic - why this wasn't done in not really sure, since it must've at least been a lot easier than tunneling under the harbor. It's not gonna happen, but nice to...

Cool article, fun graphics: http://projects.newyorker.com/story/nyc-dollar-vans/

Previous updates on this found here, perhaps they could be moved to this thread as it deserves its own... Core is going up now. No pics, but here's some additional renders: Edit - in the last pic theyve pretty cleverly allowed the ivy to cover a third of the building... I dont have...
