Does the grade of Broadway allow for a street/median/shoulder-running LRT?

I don't recall how recently this has been proposed/crayon-ed, but just based on the high-density sections of South Boston and the South End, there's a crazy corridor for a light rail line along Broadway from City Point/Broadway @ P St, to Back Bay, making stops at L/Broadway, Dorchester...

So I take away a lot from the article, but they also embed this article which truly relates to the article in engineering too: https://worksinprogress.co/issue/why-skyscrapers-are-so-short/. My main takeaway: we can build cut n cover much more cheaply and we know of economic and legal burdens...

Interesting office to residential changeover in a burbs office park! https://www.bldup.com/posts/180-units-planned-for-marlborough-office-site?utm_source=BLDUP.com+Customer+List&utm_campaign=87c74e06bd-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2024_05_06_06_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-87c74e06bd-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D

Also, I think that this would be the better place for this: the 104 rerouting not only helps the underserved communities of Everett and Chelsea, as well as the underserved Eastie-Chelsea-Everett corridor, but it's travel down the new 2nd St ROW next to this / 2nd on Vine / Anthem, along with the...

I can't find this anywhere, but with there being another 2000+ residents between this, 2nd on Vine, and the hopeful Sky Everett right next to each other. And the new Chelsea/Everett buildings near Everett Street, and the other new buildings like Anthem and Pioneer, what retail and essential...

This is a great step in the right direction for the LA Metro's huge Purple Line extension project, and they keep having success with securing funding and approvals for projects. There are a lot of sorely needed other projects proposed in LA, but to see a complete new subway tunnel project moving...

I was on a jog by here on Sunday and went by Lightview and it became a thought that perhaps Northeastern has the investment interest in these tall/dense residential projects between 20 and 30 stories and they don't seem to be slowing, with a growing enrollment and money coming in the door. Is...

Sunday 4/7. Garage is flattened and space is cleared out. Some big updates from HYM soon?

Another reason why this doesn't seem serious is the specs of the design, including the preemptive arbitrary capacity of 25K. The Revolution had the 8th highest average home attendance in the MLS at over 21K per game, and that was in Foxboro, in a pretty mundane Gillette Stadium soccer...

I was going to guess Lincoln, as it made sense to some extent. But I found nothing...

I was looking at the FAA height allowance map and found that a lot of notable buildings are squeezed in right into areas over where the heigh allowance changes. As there's a lot of low heigh allowances in buildable places like Seaport, Waterfront, South End, and so on. Was there an exception...

I think the restricted speeds in CT + the loop through Queens are the biggest hurdles Amtrak doesn't plan to get around to speed up Acela anytime soon, unfortunately... I think the best High Speed Raul to Rival other countries isn't going to be Cal Rail (is that the right name) or Amtrak, but...
