    Crazy Transit Pitches

    I have to admit, I don't hate this. Two issues I can see: 1) Either you have to tunnel where you're running on the grand junction, or you can't reuse the other half for light rail in the future and/or equipment shuttles now. 2) Getting across the Charles may be difficult.

Hopefully a liquor licence will migrate...

    Town & Gown: The role of schools and universities in Boston

    Re: Town Vs Gown: The role of schools and universities in Boston To add a bit to this, an egregious example is how BU is helping to fund the Allston commuter rail station: on the condition none of the streets are extended across the Pike into Lower Allston. This would help immensely with...

    A redeveloped cleveland circle

    An idea I've been playing with for a while: The pool should be sold off for redevelopment, with the stipulation whatever is built there have to put in a new public pool.
