Do carriers do cart swaps at PWM? I don't know that there's enough call at PWM for cart swaps for drinks and snacks when for most airlines PWM is just a quick turn. They often don't restock at outstations like PWM - they do downline catering, where the plane brings in what it'd need for the...

That is admittedly the point of these remote terminals; you and your bags clear TSA out in Framingham and then you arrive at Logan airside, thereby skipping the lines at Logan. There's a reason it's on a remote lot from the garage with its own structure - even out there there's "landside &...

There's some effort towards that, previously discussed on AB here and down: Post in thread 'Take Back The Streets (...and alleys)' http://archboston.com/community/threads/take-back-the-streets-and-alleys.6342/post-514658

The new North End Community center & Mirabella Pools have been under construction for a while - groundbreaking was last year - but to date I hadn't seen renders of what it was going to look like, so I thought I'd drop them here...

To be fair, it's worth keeping in mind that's not all for BFD - it's designed as a lab/office building first and foremost. BFD would be basically becoming a condo owner/leaser, as it'd only control some 10k square feet for its station and it's bays within the larger structure. Think more "public...

Plans were released for the rebuild of McGrath's Squire Bridge reconstruction & adjacent segments. Notably features grade separate bike lanes throughout, connecting to those extant at Third St, reserves space underneath for a future shared use path alongside the Grand Junction. Also appears to...

I mean, it's a great thing to remove any of those unused dams, but is the Watertown dam that much of an impact singlehandedly?Less than 2 miles upstream and you'll hit the Bleachery and then the Moody Street dam, which is a much more significant impoundment, and for which I don't believe there...

Ehh. The library is literally across the street, and while obviously only open during its operating hours, I'd say that's plenty proximate for public bathroom access... Where they also happen to have a "community support team" designated to conduct outreach and provide services to the homeless...

Well, of all things, I managed to come across the YouTube channel of the folks who built the boat. If you go through their other videos, there's several other concepts of various sizes they worked on, ranging from the most ambitious 58ft one (the render they posted is clearly this fed into AI)...

The Barnes Building (and it's associated parking lots) is federally owned, but it's not part of the GSA portfolio because it's technically owned by the Army & thus DoD. Similarly, the USCG base in the North End - I know, USCG is technically part of DHS but I suspect it works more like the DoD...

If I were to take a stab at this, much of the difficulty would be because this stretch of Dartmouth is how you'd get from the Pike to Back Bay - the Copley ramps are immediately proximate, and the off ramp would put you on Stuart & Dartmouth, which then brings drivers deeper into Back Bay, and...

I suspect we'll get more information pretty soon from our friends in Canada - up in TTC land, they've got 200 NF eBuses, so they're definitely running them enough in worse conditions that we are. They've most recently reporting MDBF of ~35,000km (~22,000mi) across their eBus fleet, but while...

Rough estimate based on what they're advertising as available, some back of the envelope math - I got roughly 750k/1.1sqft at 1 Lincoln & 190k/800k at 75 State vacant, which worked out to ~50% by rsf combined being vacant, which I then promptly collapsed into "half empty."...

I mean, what would you propose if you were Divcowest? They're not going to build new office when that market is also soft, their One Lincoln & 75 State class A office spaces are half empty. If Residential, I'd think they'd move first with their approved parcel R plans which are stalled for want...
