    also makes that ugly brick of a design look a little interesting.

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    bust pipes or not, she got absolutely shafted by the cities inept handling of 90 washington st. When I moved to the area, Buddys was cash only but there was an ATM in the cobble hill mall across the street. Greed killed off this area of washington.

    Would be great if Kraft and wynn could build a footbridge from the Encore river walk to the wind turbine.

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

    Whites Stadium has very little to do with this. Everett and Kraft have negotiated a perfectly good site for a new stadium. Wu will push for what she can get her city but has to do it without scraping the project. Those negotiations are ongoing. The development of the mystic area is also ongoing...

    There'll be a footbridge from the casino to assembly. Plenty of food options there.

    Cambridge Crossing (NorthPoint) | East Cambridge/Charlestown | Cambridge/Boston

    Kendall square cinema has 9 screens and is prob a mile away. MoS is around the corner as is the Galleria I wouldn't be too worried about CX not being thronged with people. People who live there and work there seem to be quite happy with it. It'll slowly develop and mature with time. Some...

    Assembly Sq <-> Casino Footbridge

    Did anything ever come of the chat about a Mystic to Charles community path? Something that would link this new bridge to Sullivan then round to East Somerville, connecting with the GLX path?

    City Hall Discussion - Redevelopment - Preservation - Relocation

    If a lot of people dont understand what they ar looking at with regard to the most important public building in the city, it's a design failure.

    Union Square Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    The inner belt is zoned 3 story. I guess partly caused by the tunnels brige on the inner belt road that restricts access. Change that bridge to a regular one. Switch inner belt zoning to CX levels. Push Brickbottom development. Build pedestrian access across the CR tracks at the T station from...

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I'd be curious about the amount of people using the path, seems very popular especially at commuter times.

    Riverwalk Bridge @ Science Park | Boston - Cambridge

    interesting but I think a high/mid rise building along the dam just cuts off north point and surrounding areas even more. I agree about the driveway and the garage could definitely be redeveloped higher and stepped back to allow for better bike infrastructure.

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

    Could well be a return on investment thing. When building a stadium the cheapest seats are the most expensive to build. Build a 25k stadium, fill it every game, grow demand and interest, then add on 10k Rather than build a 35k stadium and slog your guts out and still have 5-10k empty for some...

    this isnt between older Assembly and the lab space. It's the other side of the OL tracks, between the T station and the mystic.
