Quincy's $4 million plan to add to city parks includes $1.8 million land buy Not a developer!!! Kidding aside, while technically not wrong that there's not a lot of green space in the neighborhood, Cleverly Court Park is not exactly near a lot of housing. I guess that's why part of the money...

That jaunt up Market Street is a pretty steep grade. I remember that being a reason why replacing the C line with blue was considered impractical.

From today's Globe: Can the T Avoid Another Debacle on the Next Big Train Order?

We could really be reaching that point for some of the more urban grocery stores. It looks like the Star Market plaza in Quincy Center is getting lined up. Star Market in Fenway recently got approved for redevelopment.

Per the MPO's website, their archives go back to 1990, so they should still have it. It doesn't appear to be in the digital archive but you can request it by calling them.

Yes, like Boston the biggest challenges those cities face are rooted in the fact that so many people want to live and work there.

If we'd like to talk about something that actually may have an impact on the region's long term population stability: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/04/07/opinion/demographic-cliff-colleges-universities/ tl;dr - about 10,000 fewer students expected in the Boston region each year. I don't...

It’s a cool map, but just based on the areas I’m familiar with I’m a little skeptical of how robust the data is…Random patch of Weymouth is lit up but Quincy Center is dark? The library is right there as are multiple grocery stores/pharmacies and of course corner stores and public transit stops...

Again though, big upgrades to Cape RTA are pennies on the dollar compared the bridge replacement. Not that the bridges don’t need replacing, mind you, but one has to wonder if bridge replacement combined with robust public transit expansion wouldn’t be more cost effective than bridge expansion...

It’s funny, but you’re really hitting on something. I just wrapped up the selection process for the MPO’s next corridor study, and while assessing various corridors it’s amazing how much Rt. 16, Somerville through Revere, stands out as far and away the most dangerous strip in Eastern MA. Yet...

I don’t think there’s any doubts that better streetlights can improve traffic and safety. Boston is actually a leader in deploying adaptive signals that can adjust phasing to demand from what New England Traffic Solutions (a company that makes and manages them) had to say when I was at a trade...

Well it’s certainly generating discussion.

I’ve been suspecting it was coming, with Olympia Sports, Dressbarn, and Boston Market all out that plaza seems realllllly ripe. The Star market plaza I’m a little more surprised about, but it seems like they’re just eyeing it for the long term which makes total sense. With the granite place...

When in the past 100 years has there been anything remotely resembling a free market in real estate?
