    Jamaica Plain Infill and Small Developments

    This is so long overdue... glad so see some activity there. I think everyone who was involved in the Stony Brook Cohousing effort to redevelop the building back in 2010 have since been priced out of JP and moved elsewhere (myself included).

    1785 Columbus Ave | Roxbury

    Yikes. I gave it a pass on the lack of activation on the street level (only one entrance, no articulation - just flat, windows that will be covered with blinds, etc), but the cladding here is really hideous. Does look like they shoehorned a Waltham office park building onto the lot.

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    Sounds very much like what Ritz-Carlton did in Boston when they sold off the Newbury St building after the completion of the Millenium building. Raffles in the process of rehabbing a colonial resort hotel in Udaipur, India, where they will compete with Oberoi and Taj -- both of those hotels are...

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    I've stayed at the Raffles properties in Cambodia and other Asian countries and those tend to be high-end renovations of British Colonial hotels. It will be interesting to see how they style a new-build hotel like this. Raffles is now owned by the Accel Group of France, which also owns the...

    MBTA Fare System (Charlie, AFC 2.0, Zone, Discounts)

    I've been curious whether anyone knows if the other regional transit authorities are planning to change their fare boxes when the MBTA does. It's incredibly convenient right now to be able to use a Charlie Card on the CCRTA buses here on Cape Cod.

    Quaker Lane + Congress Square | Downtown

    I agree. I used to walk through there al the time to & from work and hoped they would make it into something nice. Still just an alley for now... photo by beeline:

    This is on the corner of Shank Painter & Browne (Dr O'Malley's former office). Here's a link to it in Google streetview from Sept 2019. Its parking lot is fenced off and the for sale signs are visible. https://goo.gl/maps/8wT6Qfn1JwGxpvgR7

    Provincetown Developments

    This project is of particular interest since it takes advantage of the town's inclusionary zoning bylaw to get a density bonus and build 13 11 units with one off-site affordable unit where only 3 units would normally be permitted as of right... 30 Shank Painter Road Demolish existing building &...

    🔹 What's Happening With Project X?

    Thanks, Beeline. I walked through that alley for years to and from work and was hoping they'd actually make it a bit more inviting (there were fancy renders of lights and seating and whatnot in the original proposal). Since the porta-potty is still a major streetscape element I'll give them the...

    🔹 What's Happening With Project X?

    Has any of the ground floor of Quaker Lane in the financial district been completed? I haven't heard anything on that project in a long time.

    3368 Washington Street | Jamaica Plain

    They chopped it down to 5 floors from the original 6, but it's not clear if they reduced the number of units as a result. The BCDC presentation shows the revised exterior and massing, but none of the program details. At least now it has a somewhat more residential appearance rather than the...

    New Cape Cod Bridges

    That's it in a nutshell. Sometimes things don't change until the next generation gets to be in charge, and the boomers have pretty much overstayed their welcome. They'll support spending $1 BN on bridges for their cars but continue to protest peanuts for improved transit, bike lanes, sidewalks...

    They're really vague on specifics of how this will merge into the existing road network. Here's the current proposed layout for both bridges:
