Steve Samuels you have lost the Mandate of Heaven.

Absolutely incredible.

If you don't get LRV on day one, you will never ever get it.

Great!

The Rutherford Avenue Redesign depicts a "road diet" of one lane. And as far as I know, there is no Northern Expressway road diet coming for at least a century, so I think this site is going to remain a traffic island for the foreseeable future.

95% of cars sold in 2022 had an internal combustion engine. Even the most optimistic predictions show EVs having a 50% market share by 2050. And EVs may not have tailpipe emissions, but they produce fine particulate emissions and noise pollution like any other car. I’m not saying that this...

You mean on the other side of the site, with the even worse air?

I don't think it's being that hyperbolic or extreme considering the site is hemmed in by a combined 22 lanes of urban expressway and is right next to a gigantic concrete plant. I can absolutely see why a 25 year old would want to live here, because he/she is less concerned about their long-term...

A Blue Line extension through Kenmore, Fenway, and LMA via Brookline Ave would be an lifesaver for those areas and would provide critical redundancy for the creaky Green Line. It makes too much sense to ever do it.

This building is wider than the Empire State Building.

Wentworth doesn't need a 2.5 acre athletic field and Boston doesn't need another sports stadium in a transit desert.

This is how you perpetuate a housing crisis.

Suffolk University, another CCC school, uses a city-owned park in East Boston and they routinely outperform Wentworth. Sure, Wentworth can do what they want with their property, but surely we can all agree that a dedicated sports facility for a fourth-rate sports program is an extremely decadent...

There's a very obvious reason to replace the existing field, but no obvious reason to build a new one. Why does a Division III school in the Commonwealth Coast Conference need a 2.5 acre athletic field roughly 1 foot from Roxbury Crossing.

Harvard Stadium. Nickerson Field. The stupid new soccer field that Wentworth is building for some reason.

You can’t bike on lanes that get announced and never built.

If those neighborhoods are underwater then there’s no city anymore. It’s just some highways and an airport.

For this very reason, I'd say that the best and highest use of this land would be to turn it into the marshy swampland it once was.

I don't think that there is a definition of "expressway" that does not include Morrissey Boulevard.

They could rip out all the rails and replace them and you'd have slow zones again one week later. It needs to become apparent to the people on this forum that the MBTA is simply not in the business of operating a transit system. I feel bad for the rubes pushing “Transit Oriented Development” in...
