This one really makes me wish they'd bring back the Canal st. pedestrian extension that was in the original designs

building itself is pretty ugly but good spot for increased density. Now that 7/11 needs to be replaced by a 6 story resi development as well as the single story retail on the other side of the station entrance.

Has there been any talk of capping the tunnel portions of Rutherford near Sullivan sq, not necessarily with buildings but a linear park type of setup, similar to the greenway or Comm ave in Back Bay? Would be a lot cheaper than air rights development and make that stretch feel less like a...

I agree on the visually interesting front. The Hub on Causeway res building could've gone 659', would've created a nice peak relative to the other 3

Can’t help but think how awesome it would be to see this pic with Copley tower in there

ehhh...i really hope the finished product is nice but the developers really missed out by not building one of the earlier proposals with the corner entrance design

In a world with a D-to-E connector at Brookline Village, would trains from Kenmore be able to turn "hard left" down Huntington, or are we only talking about Riverside/Needham trains going down Huntington? (forcing riders from Kenmore to change trains at BV?) From Google maps it looks like Pearl...

Forgive my ignorance by why not a Magoun Sq. style station at Winthrop? Assuming the ROW would fit it, which I think it would since i believe the ROW is 4 tracks all the way out to MVP.

In a perfect world seems like it would make sense to have a station at Winthrop street along with the Tufts and MVP stations. Not sure how that would affect ops, but with the residential density surrounding a potential Winthrop station, it seems to me like station spacing would be justified...

Is Norfolk getting a second or island platform? Or is double tracking both entrance and exit of the station sufficient?

This is probably the wrong thread but are they preprovisioning West Station for eventual green line station with UR?

I wonder if anything will be built on the parcel just west of this, adjacent to the World Trade Center ave. Would need to be air rights over Haul Rd., the track 61 rail and one of the tunnels, but it feels like closing this "square" a little more would be nice for the convention ctr

Would any of these stations change location under OLX, or would all remain the same spot?

Will it matter if bus revamp happens before MVP? Will it need to happen again after or will they just wait until MVP extension is completed before doing it

F-line just trying to make sure I understand the GL-CR transfer question because I know this has been discussed by you in previous threads and I’m still not clear. Are you saying even if some Lowell line riders from, say, Billerica need to get to Tufts, there aren’t enough of them to justify a...
