> Cape bridge replacements should take priority Talk about a windshield perspective! But more seriously, it reads like a person who doesn't really understand the situation, and doesn't want to research it in depth. Just sort of skimming over talking points people already familiar with the...

I wish I knew! And good call on the Google store just found it

Have the pleasure of visiting this building today. It’s substantially complete and undergoing tenant fit outs. Note the the first floor tenant is not Google it’s a clothing store. Took a photo of the brickwork cause I wanted to show that it’s pretty decent. The only weird thing is that the...

Was pleasantly surprised a couple weeks ago to see that some shade was already being provided by the baby trees

CX is too small to compare to either. Nobody knows someone who lives there so you can’t stereotype it. We all know what kind of guy hangs out in the seaport. What would a CX Head look like? Maybe if there was more mixed income housing

I think in this case if you are going to the train station regularly you're looking at owning an e-bike. Instead of 3 cars (mom, dad, kid) a family might own 2 cars (mom, kid) and dad bikes to the train station and borrows car as necessary. Since a bike is cheaper than a car this works out...

So I have a regional rail question. It seems like these new trips are very useful in the metro for making weird connections within the area for commutes. North to south etc. but it seems like getting from X suburb to Y suburb still requires the dreaded “all the way in and all the way out” trip...

I believe these do actually spring up if a car passes over them but this person I think ran a tire over the center and broke it in such a way that it’s destroyed

They threw in flex posts over the weekend around the PBLs surrounding my favorite park. A friendly driver has already given us their opinion

So this will be a big station, but this looks markedly not like the palatial underground stations like Penn. I assume the idea is that trains will truly not be terminating at NS/SS under and will always run through? As far as that goes I'm glad they are more forward thinking than NYC in this aspect.

That is a really peculiar development. Even if I step into the shoes of a nimby I can’t think of why I’d prefer it that way. It’s like a suburban hotel setback…

It would be near aquarium. The baker admin study should have some info on the subject I think

Okay I called the congressman's office and they told me the "full report" will not be published until the Fall.

https://www.bostonherald.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Moulton-Rail-Link-Overview-Slides-2024-06-14.pdf I think I found the same slides as you. Not much here besides an alignment endorsement but I am not super familiar with eg. if the "advocates" long settled on the artery alignment. I know...

You may like reading Transit Matters' reports on the subject, they do line-by-line regional rail analyses. I think some of the users here consider their predictions for what's possible with relation to speeds and scheduling to be unrealistic, but they do a pretty good job of showing for example...

Saw a uniformed “MBTA Inspector” gentleman today. Is this some position other than the new fare inspectors we are assuming start soon?

Thanks for pointing that one out, I read it. Of course the solution it suggests is that if only developers were more diverse then things would be better. Not sure why they would charge less money for rent depending on their race. But hey its the Globe.

Was curious so i looked up a couple pieces of the project: 195 feet high

It would be a stretch but Mass could pay for the T on its own. Just a matter of making a serious commitment to it

Yeah my hobby horses on this forum are mostly borne out of urban fails that I deal with regularly. It’s a weird spot because it’s like, a 1/4 mile at least from the “square” until you go far enough into CX for there to be businesses, there’s no businesses on first street really, the museum of...
