    Other People's Rail: Amtrak, commuter rail, rapid transit news & views outside New England

    This is a great step in the right direction for the LA Metro's huge Purple Line extension project, and they keep having success with securing funding and approvals for projects. There are a lot of sorely needed other projects proposed in LA, but to see a complete new subway tunnel project moving...

    ACC/NU Residence Hall | 840 Columbus Ave | Northeastern University

    I was on a jog by here on Sunday and went by Lightview and it became a thought that perhaps Northeastern has the investment interest in these tall/dense residential projects between 20 and 30 stories and they don't seem to be slowing, with a growing enrollment and money coming in the door. Is...

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    Another reason why this doesn't seem serious is the specs of the design, including the preemptive arbitrary capacity of 25K. The Revolution had the 8th highest average home attendance in the MLS at over 21K per game, and that was in Foxboro, in a pretty mundane Gillette Stadium soccer...

    Tallest building in town, can you name the city?

    Whats left to build on?

    I was looking at the FAA height allowance map and found that a lot of notable buildings are squeezed in right into areas over where the heigh allowance changes. As there's a lot of low heigh allowances in buildable places like Seaport, Waterfront, South End, and so on. Was there an exception...

    Other People's Rail: Amtrak, commuter rail, rapid transit news & views outside New England

    I think the restricted speeds in CT + the loop through Queens are the biggest hurdles Amtrak doesn't plan to get around to speed up Acela anytime soon, unfortunately... I think the best High Speed Raul to Rival other countries isn't going to be Cal Rail (is that the right name) or Amtrak, but...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    I think something that will be 20/20 hindsight in about 15 years from now will be a very densely built up Everett between Encore and through downtown Everett up Broadway, especially along RBP. Right now, RBP and the rest of 16 is car centric, backed up at rush hour and weekends (from Revere to...
