Flâneur, aka Euro-inspired walking

Iono, even with the shared-use parking, a 1.4 ratio in this neighborhood feels super off. Smack between two rapid transit lines. I didn't know that the City club knock-down was tied to this. I drove to the dog park as they started the knock down but thought it was a renovation. Haven't been by...

This image has me thinking of Kendall's SoMa towers. Except there's a traffic sewer right in front instead of the relatively calm and tame Main Street. Would love for them to attempt something more interesting in the tower portions of the building and perhaps different colors or exteriors to...

I'm glad to see that the state is doing this project. This will be a great proof of the Mcgrath Boulevard concept. But, does anyone know why it costs $12 million to put some paint on the street? Unless I'm missing something completely, the article and the website didn't make it seem like the...

What buses would need an underpass?

As a non driver and a flâneur. 4 is the worst. Especially without the left turn pockets. Less worse is 2 + turn lanes. Least worse is 1 in each direction. Prospect Street in Cambridge is mostly 2 + turn. It does change in Inman and into Somerville to 2 + parking. Though, didn't it become 2 +...

I'd suggest we could get rid of the pike on-ramp here. For Cantabs, there's still the Allston rams or access via 93 and Central Artery. For Bostonians there's the whole Pru complex. Save some of the left turn space for higher and better uses or just make Mass Ave world class for bus riders and...

My "crazy" pitch is to make Mass Ave just 1 lane in each direction. The rest of our main street should be for cyclists and for transit.

Exciting street life pairs best together with very tame calm motoring. It does not pair well with the Roman chariot race that is that set of intersections.

STL being a hub brings back memories of the TWA days and being on trips with 2-3 hour flights broken up with humid stops in STL.

Unused bit from the previous iteration. The Inner Belt should be renamed the as the neighborhood that gets unbuilt stubs.

Not seriously, there's the need for a laugh-cry emoji reaction there. But, wholly seriously, it's a must-have on a new line with federal dollars.

There's a part of me that worries that the deeper they dig - that they may find my innocence somewhere buried under the Machine.

I can agree. A lot of Boston could use EU/UK/JP/SK standard equipment. Both on the scale of things but also practicality. (Relatedly, I think often about how uncommon bike delivery is, despite distances here being relatively similar to mainland European cities).

I kind of doubt the community path being done by December - I'd say it's likely soft opening in December, in parts - maybe the East Somerville to North Point bit?. And a full opening in spring 2022. Don't forget that there's all that irksome fault-free testing of all the systems - power...

Up to $320,000 to pay for 4 years of schooling at BU - those dormitories better have gold-plated toilets for each student. https://www.bu.edu/admissions/tuition-aid/tuition/ BU's annual cost of attendance: Tuition - $58,560 Room - $10,990 Board - $5,850 Student Fees - $1,256 Subtotal: $76,656...

From what I glean, it sounds like the MBTA is going to have an interim condition on the GLX where one would be expected to tap to pay at FVMs with AFC 1.5 equipment. It would add to the concern you have on the "confusion" of fares on the T. However, in the long-term it seems like it'll be come...

Found this interesting 6-page factsheet that the MBTA is sharing on the webpages for their "proof of payment" public meetings. https://cdn.mbta.com/sites/default/files/2021-03/03-05-2021-fare-payment-verification.pdf Having been on a number of proof-of-payment systems in North America and...

I've been very glad to see that we're catching up with bus lanes that make great sense for buses without needing to go "full" BRT a la Curitiba or Bogota. Keeping these things a little less grandioise means we can fund these thigns out of cities and state budgets and avoid going after Small...
