Did they actually do a whole lane drop? Western Ave is still two travel lanes, except for a small section by the new park. So that might've been one of the constraints.

I believe that one will be for MIT Nano.

The info on that webpage hasn't been updated since the budget fiasco began. The Lechmere/Union/Washington Street Stations will not even be remotely close to completion when the currently awarded contracts are wrapped up. GMP-4, which is the vast majority of Phase 2 (including a ton of bridge...

This is a one-block segment located on CRA property. It's a low-hanging fruit segment that doesn't even directly involve the rail ROW. Besides maybe the Broadway to Binney block, I think any additional sections are a long way from getting fully designed and funded. The connections to the river...

That's Phase 2A, if you're referring to the road bridge by the high school. Phase I involved the work on the other Medford Street Bridge-- the rail bridge by the Target. They were working on sound walls there last week. Here's more info on the phases...

Nope. It was originally going to be done in March-- last I heard they were saying October. It looks like haven't updated the schedule since the fiasco with Phase 2 became public: http://greenlineextension.eot.state.ma.us/schedule.html Phase 2A also continues-- though I'm not sure when that is...

The Planning Board approved an extension of the variance through January. Sounds like their were some financing/developer issues. http://www.somervillema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/WashingtonSt84-90.pdf If the timeline listed in the decision document is correct, we'll see it start coming...

Related to this, I find it really unfortunate that (as part of the Crosby's Corner project) a short path isn't being built south of Route 2 to connect 126 with Sandy Pond Road/Drake Park... In conjunction with the work that is already being done at Crosby's Corner, it would really open up a more...

In more disheartening news, after insisting for quite a while they were still on track for starting service by the end of 2017, the Draft TIP looks to have finally admitted that the project has slipped again to 2018. Last I heard Phase 2 (not to be confused with Phase 2A) still hadn't gotten...

Rumor on Bike to the Sea's Facebook page is that it has already been damaged by motorbikes, so looks may be deceiving, unfortunately.

I think you may be confusing the McCarthy Overpass with the 93 overpass. Taking down the McCarthy will help knit the Union Square/Brickbottom/East Somerville area back together but won't impact access to Assembly.

The sidewalk gets even more fun when it's raining. Our very own water park. The good news is that the city/developer are supposed to be widening the sidewalk, adding street trees and a parking lane as part of this development. At least according the planning staff report...

Re: Construction at Wellington - Station Landing Probably this Marriott Hotel? The article notes that this is the final building at Station Landing. http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/real_estate/2014/04/marriott-hotel-to-be-built-in-medford.html

This project (Millbrook Lofts) is actually in Somerville: http://www.archboston.org/community/showpost.php?p=209474&postcount=56

Re: Lewis Wharf Meant for the Assembly thread?

Glad to hear. It seems like Barletta has really dragged their feet with GLX Phase 1.

An update on 515 Somerville Avenue. Certainly didn't see this coming... http://somerville.wickedlocal.com/article/20141023/NEWS/141028546 The article- along with the city's press release- fails to mention the fact there was just a plan to build housing before the planning board.

Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 Interestingly, the Green Line Project Phase 1 Construction page still states this work was completed in March. And and they are still claiming they finished demolishing 21 Water Street last August (last I saw, it is still standing)...

Re: 22 Water Str. (North Point Area), Cambridge, MA Looks like demolition on the MBTA building is going to start next week: http://greenlineextension.eot.state.ma.us/schedule.html

Here is some interesting news from the Federal CEO, Donald Wood, regarding the company's plans for the Partners site, along with more information on the Phase 1 buildout. Of note are new retailers, the possibility of another phase in the not too distant future, and the expectation they will get...
