    MBTA Construction Projects

    Not sure if it was related to the red line signals project being completed, but the T finally removed the plywood partial enclosure around the Savin Hill main stairs to the platform. The one they constructed nearly 3 years ago for a stair repair that was addressed within a month then left in...

    Seaport Neighborhood - Infill and Discussion

    lol yea after I read that I was gonna say, a majority of who have what??? That's definitely not my lived experience seeing friends, family, neighbors. That said, I do think people walking their dogs helps otherwise quiet somewhat antisocial neighbors become acquainted with others, especially the...

    Cambridge Infill and Small Developments

    This building will actually face the Huron Ave side of the lot too. They were asked to change the address to Huron Ave for clarity.

    Malden + Melrose Infill and Small Developments

    735 Broadway in Melrose on the Malden line. Built a few years ago as a generic warehouse, but never found a tenant for the whole site. It is now proposed to be further split up and have more non-warehouse uses. Current proposals are: - Expanded Padel facility (4 courts to 7 courts) - New...

    The New Residential Conversion Thread

    By that I meant it should stay commercial. It was formerly office space and was certainly built for some sort of commercial uses with direct access from the street. It's right in the middle of downtown. It doesn't need to be a coffee shop. Could be literally anything else instead of shades down...

    The New Residential Conversion Thread

    I think the first floor on the Lafayette side should stay retail. It's a bit awkward to have ground level former storefronts be residential.

    Biking in Boston

    The new bluebikes operating contract is now in effect. The old one dated to I think around 2017? Either way, I anticipate some price hikes coming soon, though hopefully paired with user improvements and expansion.

    The Vale Boston (Kraft Foods Redevelopment) | Woburn

    I don't know how Woburn government works, so just wondering if the Council president's opinion on the idea has meaning or significance vs the mayor or rest of council?

    Copper Mill Development | Elm Street and Grove Street | Davis Square

    What a terrible experience for the CBT design team. To go to a community process with something your client approved of, only to have them bash it in front of everybody. This will gain Flynn some points with the community in the near term as he comes off as "this project is terrible", but in the...

    Which one is current? The first image is completely different than the second two.

    Reserved Channel Development | 300 West First Street | South Boston

    Meh, that just means they didn't realize it was a possibility to plan a route through some else's property on an undetermined timeline. It could become a 'plan' anytime they decide.
