    Assembly Sq <-> Casino Footbridge

    I dunno, I find Sullivan square on a bike terrifying.

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

    I think the girl in the kayak is laughing at all the boats under full sale so close to the shore! The renderings are pretty awful, lets hope they're just place holders till an adult has a go. Good to see this moving tho.

    Assembly Innovation Park | 5 Middlesex Ave | Somerville

    yea, now I dont even cut through stop n Shop. I just go through that new little park at the end of Cross st. The Kensington Underpass is still a mess. I cant believe who ever the powers that be are didnt make the developers of the tower on the Assembly side, pay to have it cleaned up and...

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

    keeping the three smoke stacks and incorporating them in to the stadium would make it instantly iconic. Otherwise it'll just be another 25k MLS stadium.

    Lab Building (née Hotel Hampshire) | 34-40 Hampshire St. | Cambridge

    what idiot gave permission for this?

    Middlesex County Courthouse Redevelopment | 40 Thorndike St | East Cambridge

    the thing is, at the moment 'anything, anywhere' is far more generic and less unique than this. I like it. The old one was interesting but stuck out like a sore thumb and was terrible at street level. This works much better, especially considering it's on the line of 2 or 3 story residential...

    Grounding the McGrath

    I do like the idea of maybe bunching all the lanes to one side and having actual useable green space on the other, so maybe bunch all the car lanes with a tiny medium and then a park with one 2 way bike lane and footpath going through it. What I'd really love to do is leave the overpass...

    Grounding the McGrath

    I live a block off McGrath and want it moved even more to the west :) I'm with you on Herb Chambers tho. Cant believe they gave him permission to build his commercial fleet warehouse on the doorstep of a future T station. Helicoptering himself in and out. Brings nothing to the area other than...

    Grounding the McGrath

    I'm all for bike lanes but dont really understand why you'd have both directions on each side running parallel to the community path. One direction each way with good green separation from the road seems fine. I also wonder if theres any way to reduce the size of the intersection at washington...

    Please stop.

    I'm not getting in to this. off topic and irritating. I shouldnt have waded in to it. good luck.

    Please stop.

    jeez. the city, state, and country are fine relatively speaking. As for budgets, look at what we spend on the military compared to everything else. And tax revenue? The super wealthy with their off shore accounts are delighted with you preoccupying yourself with the cost of processing poor...

    Milton infill and small development

    I haven't paid close attention to this. Without getting too political, What were the reasons for voting no? Good old fashioned nimbyism?

    Grounding the McGrath

    This is an excellent point and makes perfect sense. It's gonna take 10 years for the trees to mature, till they do this will be a huge expanse with lots of under used green space.

    Greystar | 35 Garvey Street | Everett

    I'm not sure anyone is complaining about the amount of residential being built, It's clear that it's needed and will be a welcome additio. People are complaining about the aesthetic, how it looks. I think it looks terrible. And yeah, maybe a bit of a nod to Everetts industrial past/present could...
