    Quincy General Developments

    I thought the same thing about the front yard of the historic Administration Building. Not sure if having some kind of driveway was a Fire Department access thing, but regardless it seems like too much asphalt and that parking doesn't seem necessary. Also, less relevant but the way the pool...

    Reasonable Transit Pitches

    I think Logan would really benefit from a public transit master plan. We throw a lot of public transit service at the airport - Blue line, Silver line(s)?, way too many Massport shuttles, express Massport shuttles from a bunch of different suburbs and Back Bay, express buses from NH, ferries...

    General Boston Discussion

    I’ve noticed that the wait times for walk signals at intersections in Boston is longer than NYC. I think the difference is that for most intersections NYC requires turning traffic to yield to pedestrians whereas Boston more often requires a fully protected pedestrian phase which equates to a...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    It's frustrating that redevelopment of this site has not generated more action on Beacon Hill. I mean, we've known that the power plant was shutting down for at least three years. And the legislature is worried about this being decided "in a pressure cooker"? Where has the legislature been the...

    Reasonable Transit Pitches

    For the love of God, simplify the Airport shuttles from the Blue Line Airport Station and make service very very frequent (5 minutes or less). I think 97% of people who use the shuttles from the blue line just want to get to the Airport Terminals. Just provide shuttle service from the Airport...

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    People, for the hundredth time, it was a highway before. If not for this project, it likely would have remained a highway for the foreseeable future. How do we know this? Because this is the first air rights highway project in Boston in almost 40 years. These types of projects are incredibly...

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    What is most frustrating to me about the MBTA under Eng is that: a.) They don't seem to be in a particular hurry to implement repairs to reduce slow zones... MBTA GM's measured approach to spending: 'It's important I spend it in the right place'...

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    The Malden City Council is taking up a resolution tonight that would seek to "put the brakes on bus and bike lanes" in the city --...

    Photo of the Day, Boston Style: Part XVII (2023)

    Anyone care to guess the suburb? Hint: It's a distant suburb, but part of the MSA.

    Concord, NH Developments

    Stopped by Downtown Concord Sunday morning. It's a small city - and these are from like 9 am, so it wasn't exactly hopping - but it's a nice spot. They did a Complete Street conversion about 10 years back that was very well done and the Downtown seems pretty healthy.

    Congestion toll in Boston?

    Does anybody know if there's been any movement on the potential HOV to High Occupancy + Tolling (HOT) lanes conversion? Or any movement toward HOT lanes, sometimes referred to as 'managed lanes.' I know MassDOT looked at it back in 2020. I made the mistake of getting stuck in the tunnel...

    10 World Trade | BGI Office Tower (Massport Parcel A2) | Seaport

    7-17-23 - Making good progress and consistently a very active construction site late into the evening (these photos are from just before 8 pm). Whoever is overseeing this should go work for the T when this is finished.

    The New Retail Thread

    H-Mart, the increasingly popular Korean grocery store, continues to expand its presence in the Boston region. A new 25,000 store is planned in the Townline Plaza at 295 Middlesex Street on the Medford/Malden line (it really is right on the line - I think the street and part of the parking lot is...
