It was at the stop on Eliot, by Charlie’s. And @Delvin4519 you’re right, I got there right around 3. But the schedule to my memory still says the buses are roughly every 20-25 minutes which is too infrequent for me or for anyone who wants to stroll out and catch a bus. I know I’m preaching to...

Man, I waited for almost half an hour for the 86 today. I dont know if those schedule upgrades have been made yet, I hope they haven't, because if they have, this is still not a service with frequency that will ever attract spur-of-the-moment riders. We need so much more investment in public...

My wife and I have done at least one North Shore bike ride a year this way. So fucking great, show up to North Station, grab a newspaper, take your bicycle and enjoy an incredibly beautiful train ride up to the North Shore. Also the beaches are much cheaper if you show up by bicycle (they used...

Yeah I guess by great project I meant it’s a great project for the public, which a new bridge over a river that connects new developments to a bike path definitely is. But it’s more of a public amenities project than truly a biking project.

I feel like the new thing over the last decade is the local chain: certain local businesses proliferate rapidly and banalify local commercial districts in the same way a Starbucks or Mcdonalds does, but because they're local (and usually also high end and bougie, as you say), people think...

This is definitely not Brookline. I was looking at the map, and thinking, those are not the names of Brookline streets.

Fuck Tatte. They’re a scourge on the city

Get rid of some of the cemeteries

Just so hideous. I don’t know why suburban density has to always pander to this grotesque pseudo-vernacular of the plastic condo version of New England 19th century architecture.

I just came across this map on mapjunction that I thought I would share. I didn't know that that 1948 highway proposal that we transit history nerds often see on every metro site mentioned, actually had some detailed plans. Basically lays out a lot of stuff that was never built along with some...

Interesting. I always thought it was weird that Wegman's didn't have access via Florence St, but I figured it was the local Newton residents that prevented that. Makes more sense now.

I think Umass bought Mt Ida

Never knew that either, I actually thought Brookline's border stopped essentially at Hammond Street and that the businesses beyond were in Newton, for both sides of Rt 9.

Nor sure why you're contesting any of my initial or responsive points. My original post was observing the fact that, given the fact that our entire settlement patterns and infrastructure have been built around 100 years of cars, it's a lot more difficult to retrofit that into anything close to...

You live in an area that is incredibly privileged with its rich diversity of businesses owing to a nice combination of urban density and economic affluence, and it's all accessible by walking. The same is not true for basically any other suburb outside Boston. Some are dense but dont have the...

This first hypothesis is something I have not seen discussed, but for me at least a big one I have experienced. Working from home also has created a massive amount of additional flexibility. For example, I might have a zoom meeting at 9 and another a 1, but that means that I might choose to go...

this ia JP not Hyde Park

I was amazed to realize there is no thread on this on aB and moreover, that there aren't really any threads regarding urban policy in Boston or other cities that I could find. I also am not sure where to put this thread—it's neither a "development project" nor architecture/transit related...
