I think this has a lot of promise. A huge area along the subway line north and south of Medford Street is just a sea of parking lots and one-story industrial buildings and shopping centers, so it's as primed for redevelopment as anything else. This would also give Everett a subway stop within a...

The little Winthrop Square park is well done. Nicely scaled, well landscaped and frames the historic building nicely.

It’s a shame that power line wasn’t buried —

Nice Seaport addition —

This looks suspiciously like a 5-story project and not a 4-story one :) (which I'm completely on board with)

When you say expensive, how bad are we talking? I walked through the lobby for the first time the other day and noticed it. It looked worth checking out but also gave off very expensive vibes.

Demolition begins at Waldo-Durgin site, paving way for major Coolidge Corner development https://brookline.news/demolition-begins-at-waldo-durgin-site-paving-way-for-major-coolidge-corner-development/

A few different perspectives from yesterday (7-27) -

I think part of it is just basic infrastructure investment. The Ladder District streets between Washington and Tremont are not in great shape. Better lighting, landscaping, wider pedestrian paths, masonry surfaces - all of that would go a long way.

Electrification has been billed as a way to increase the speed of service. So for example, from Lowell it currently takes about 45 minutes on the train to North Station - eight stations on about 25 miles of track. Approximately how much time savings would electrification result in on the Lowell...

Thank you for all the info. That is a lot of brick. It looks like certain areas will be reserved for artwork so I question whether the brick background is necessary. Boston could use some more public art downtown and I’d be in favor of making the entire structure a canvas for that.

I believe this is a ventilation structure for the Tunnel (located just west of One Financial Center). Not sure what they’re doing exactly - replacing or refacing it?

Interesting plaza design. Looks like pretty minimal changes to the exterior of the building itself: https://www.bostonplans.org/projects/development-projects/55-summer-street

This is in one of the overlay districts created as part of the MBTA Communities zoning in Lexington, so progress!

Artemas Development near the riverfront—

On paper, Waltham seems like the perfect suburb. From an urbanist perspective, it has a lot going for it: 1.) Vibrant-ish and fairly dense Downtown/Waterfront (there is a lot of room for improvement, but it's one of the best of the 'burbs) 2.) Two commuter rail stations and a 12-minute train...

I love this sign on Santilli Hwy in Everett. Night Shift Brewing is in the background.

Yep, for sure; decent beer selection, wine, and limited cocktail menu. Also coffees, pastries, and sandwiches, but have never tried the food.

Small change, but they’ve dramatically expanded the outdoor seating area for the small restaurant/bar in Post Office Square. There’s a small rope that separates this area from the rest of the park but it’s pretty indistinguishable and the outdoor restaurant area blends in with the park. Seems...
