    Union Square Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    63 Bow street, last sold in 2017 for just over 1M and used as a rental property. I like your little turret, but amazed its not sold already for a healthy profit combined here. https://www.apartments.com/63-bow-st-somerville-ma-unit-2/tkf9158/ TINY units. Makes me wonder what the smallest...

    Union Square D2.1 | 10 Prospect Street | Somerville

    The demand might be there... just not the demand for those price points... Looking at the charts below - vacancy rates are certainly rising quickly downtown, but a YTD negative absorption of under 100,000 SF and under 10% vacancy doesn't seem particularly concerning, especially at the top of a...

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    Commmonnnn Bradley Campbell, you twit. Does this really hurt your sensibilities that much? My highly technical overlay of the current layout with the new Wynn expansion and the Revs last stadium size drawing. Original Proposals for reference... Revolution South Boston proposal - blocked by...

    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    India is in the process of electrifying the whole freaking country - like 40,000 miles of rail. Lots is freight, but they did it in 10 years. https://www.news18.com/opinion/opinion-indian-railways-is-100-percent-electrification-a-boon-8551952.html

    "A plan to restore Linear Park between Alewife and Somerville has been in the works for nearly two years with a redesign that would have widened the paved path and added seating, play areas and lighting. "...

    74M (EDGE Assembly Sq.) | 74 Middlesex Ave | Somerville

    Or wind gusts... I think 20mph is the recommended ceiling for cranes until you get to the big boys.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Was reading about a Medford city councilor candidate's learning about the GLX Phase 2 to Rte 16. Medford Residents don't appear to have a leading voice for this fight yet. https://www.mattleming.com/blog/why-didnt-the-green-line-extension-go-further

    Somernova Campus | Duck Village | Somerville

    Yea - this is an existing industrial zone, and you really don't want housing next to certain types of businesses. Housing will come, but do we really want it next to chemistry labs, hazardous waste collection points, and sewage processing? This looks like a huge investment by an already...

    If You Were God/Goddess | Transit & Infrastructure Sandbox

    Haha - go ahead @king_vibe -this is an alley-oop for you to dunk on uggo government planning - how many lanes across is this section of town? Also - was there ever a land-swap proposed for a better developable site for the power plant - don't see any updates since 2022...

    Somernova Campus | Duck Village | Somerville

    R Somernova is a pretty tight fit - only ~50 foot wide existing ROW. Would absolutely require the developer to sell property to the MBTA. Is this even the right spot, or just a quarter mile away at Somerville-owned Conway Park/Vet's rink, which is also where the ROW extends to ~75 feet wide?

    66 Cambridge Street | Charlestown

    Unfortunately it's designed that way... Look at the picture below - especially at night, a driver can't see a pedestrian until they step off the curb. And drivers come speeding down the offramp (or just fast past the homeless) and are never looking for pedestrians even though its within 100...

    Doubting this document has much power... but I love the commitment to masonry facades as finally a break from these glass boxes.

    66 Cambridge Street | Charlestown

    I love that this is the first parcel to get developed. This corner more than others is just desolate. To block the highway and view of constant traffic, plus the ability to see a developed corridor is a key gateway to future movement in Sullivan. Also - that corner of 93-offramp to Washington...
