Off the top of my head, Somerville, Everett, and Fenway all have high rises that should be vertical in 2024.

MBTA/Amtrak from Providence to Back Bay; Orange line from Back Bay to Sullivan/Assembly; take 10-minute walk to stadium. The walk is no further than the walk time from parking lot to Stadium at Gillette in some cases. Actually seems fairly straight forward. Add in ferry and water taxi transport...

Hello ArchBoston! Some of you may have pieced together in recent years that I work at MassDOT's Office of Transportation Planning. Specifically, I am the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Coordinator on the MPO Activities Team. If there is a highway or transit investment using...

Sky Everett has an ArchBoston page already. Also, the Stop and Shop is already demolished and being redeveloped for a completely different residential development by Greystar. Sky Everett is nearly half a mile west of the Stop & Shop site near Spring Street and Second Street, adjacent to a...

According to the Massport Board Meeting Presentation from March 2023 (slide 45), Terminal E Phase 1B improvements are funded and include enhancement of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Area among other improvements. Slide copied below for reference. This feels like kind of an oversight in...

Favorite Infrastructure Project of 2023: Logan Airport Terminal E Expansion (with honorable mention to Terminal B to C Connector... not certain if that opened in '22 or '23). Biggest Transit Story (that nobody is talking about, but should): MeVa (formerly Merrimack Valley Regional Transit...

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't know that City of Everett is a Massachusetts Gateway City. Gateway cities have a population between 35k-250k, an average household income below the state average, and an average educational attainment (bachelor's degree or above) below the...

I was looking so forward to the *NSYNC reunion in this weekend’s latest Trolls film, I didn’t even think to consider it could feature king_vibe, too!

Hopefully it's just a heavy-duty decal (sticker) that can be scraped off and replaced for the '2 0' a few years down the road.

A handful more. The walk to/from Sullivan Station (14 minutes) is pleasant. Does the rotary at Sullivan Square suck? Yes—preach. Does the traffic suck on Alford Street Bridge? Not as bad as the intersections it serves, but could certainly improve. Has City of Boston/MassDOT begun designing...

Figured I’d take a handful of ‘Current/Before’ photos for the graphically-inclined to run wild with. From this afternoon.

How many on-site vehicular parking spaces are there at 37,000+ seat Fenway Park? I don't know that the MOA's that crazy to have such tight parking restrictions for the proposed stadium and encouragement for studying/implementing Sullivan Square Station access improvements. Relative to other...

Information gold mine, and such a great read! The MOA spells out so many project commitments upon the stadium coming to fruition, you can paint a mental picture of the numerous ways this development will affect the community. Pedestrian infrastructure investment to Sullivan Station; a $5M...

I love the Norwegian Encore Cruise Ship sneaks into the background of your grad proposal! :ROFLMAO: It's funny/unfortunate that the clearance under Tobin Bridge (135') is a foot too short for Norwegian Encore (no relation to Wynn Resorts) and most other modern cruise ships (150,000+ tons) from...

If I'm reading between the lines correctly between this article on Aer Lingus terminating their code share agreement with United and growing their alliance with oneworld/American, it makes a little sense. JetBlue and American ended their Northeast Alliance earlier this year, which puts them back...

Okay, Boomer.

The site is literally no further from Sullivan Station than much of the new Seaport development is from South Station. AND Silver Line Extension planning study route alternatives all ensure further transit connectivity through here (in addition to 3 existing bus routes, bus network redesign...

I would imagine there's a sequencing concern with the Fenway Center development underway down Beacon Street. I wouldn't expect this to break ground until Beacon Street bridge closures/impacts from that project are minimized or gone.

The CPT-HST is the tip of the iceberg of work that Boston MPO performs and is responsible for. Boston MPO generally meets the first and third Thursdays of each month (they may cancel a meeting if there is no business to attend to). All of the big stuff--trains, electric buses, station...
