I didn't know that 396 parking for 350 units seems like an awful high parking ratio. Likely this will only get Wellington the Wellington area to continue to be to be "suburban hell" city living.

I know renderings are supposed to be illustrative - but - photo rendering #5 is peak architects trying to sell things by making weird renderings. two men casually running diagonally across the street with a woman walking a bike also in the street.

Good God. This is so lame. I get that the bulk of the millennials are already past prime nightlife age, but, I think sleepy Kansas City may have more fun night life than a few food truck hotspots.

does the 3k bump equal what they original forecasts were though? the net bump is one thing but i don't think CR middleboro was back to 100% ridership yet.

The inclusion of Audi S/A8 in the renders is sending me in to fits. Has this turned into a German social housing project?

We saw our local billionaires and millionaires get a state elected to try to conduct a political hit on our mayor for daring to increase the commercial rates to prevent worse residential tax hikes.

Agreed. Though many similarly designed and historical systems do not have such integrated things from the get. It's often as part of redevelopment that these underground walkways are added.

I am not sure that our millionaires and billionaires want to pay the amount of taxes required to have two (or more) public spaces that are treated as well as Post Office Square private park.

Chinatown, Downtown Crossing, State are fairly well integrated into their adjacent buildings. It would be nice to be able to get expansions where feasible elsewhere though.

Like many things around here, I think it's hard to evaluate the colors (and the tree canopy) just after installation. The trees need some time to take root, even if mature ones remain, and the pavers need some patina and wear to really show what they'll be like.

I'm hopeful that they use the experience to build more underground walkways there though. It would be very nice to have an exit that connects you to the alley with the barbershop or even to Broadway.

Malden and Charlestown shouldn't really be seeing service decreases due to GLX, nor should my part of Medford. If anything we should be seeing different routes, reroutes, or new routes but the BNRD doesn't even give us that as a hope in the next 4 or so years.

The systemwide percentages would make some sense to me when i think about my commutes into Cambridge from Medford. However, I don't think Medford sees more weekend service than prepandemic, now. I think my new city is maybe getting the shaft for the whole current bus service regime.

Kind of getting back to the point - street grids, i.e. "through streets", were done away with because of the unintended but very bad consequences of mass motorization and the car-centric demand for every street to become a highway instead of a street. It's worked out well for suburbs - until...

The glx didn't do that - it's been that way with all the railroads for years!
