Given that Delta probably knows exactly what the demand would be for such a people-mover from how many bus riders they get, I can't imagine it's enough if they aren't lobbying for one. The landside people mover, which would eliminate the need for the vast majority of Massport shuttle buses...

That's why they have a bus :)

Interesting that they aren't envisioning the A-B connector as a full building, but just an enclosed walkway. I would have thought they could have picked up 1-2 gates, but maybe that isn't worth the cost. Also, two big-ticket items under "Replace Aging Infrastructure": B Garage Replacement and...

That's the reference I was going for but couldn't quite drag up :)

Yup. I'll take the Concord Ave. buildings anytime over this. They inject some fun with color while this appears designed to cause nausea if you look at it too long. How the City of Cambridge approved this I'll never understand.

She opposed the Waterfont Plan during the campaign, but all of the candidates did. This is way off-topic for the Bromfield thread, but I think we need to acknowledge that no one wants the Chiofaro tower but Chiofaro and archBoston.

I feel like this is the millennial project of this boom cycle in Boston... I remember it as one of the first truly impressive proposals back in 2017, and now it's wrapping things up as the boom ends.

Personally, I'd prioritize Arsenal over Brighton on your way to Watertown Square (and then possibly to Waltham or Newton Corner). If we're doing crayon maps, let Brighton be served by one of the light rail lines.

But less colorful than it would have if Aer Lingus hadn't done the stupid white livery... sigh...

I suspect the whole district was created expressly to forbid it. Chiofaro hasn't made a lot of friends and the Harbor Towers residents are probably generous donors.

I'd think you'd want the stop in South Weymouth more than a stop along the highway. Generally I think you want to follow rail lines that hit town centers.

I know that and I thought about looking that up, but it's worth noting that primary wind alignments at Logan might not be the same as inland. The runway alignment I used perfectly aligns with one of the primary runways at the old NAS. Presumably they chose the prevailing direction at the time...

Not endorsing that this should have happened (and definitely not that it should happen now), but what if the Commonwealth had pushed for a new airport at the South Weymouth NAS... Based on AUS - both runways are a bit over 10,000'. The biggest difference from AUS, of course, is that Bergstrom...

Even if you did that, you'd still have the need for financing to construct anything. The strip mall is already there and already generating revenue. Also, the CRE firms that specialize in strip malls tend to be specialized in that market segment, so a developer of dense mixed-use would need to...

Yes
