I think something that will be 20/20 hindsight in about 15 years from now will be a very densely built up Everett between Encore and through downtown Everett up Broadway, especially along RBP. Right now, RBP and the rest of 16 is car centric, backed up at rush hour and weekends (from Revere to...

This has to be a Crazy Pitch, and this is my first route drawing, so I just started with a crayon route, so please forgive the casual design. The pitch is to connect Charlestown to Downtown Everett via a Light Rail line which uses the old rail ROW along Medford St (some of which is now a...

I do think while they drive a majority of revenue through a car-centric model, a sufficient APM and shuttle service better connecting to rental cars, and more parking gets more travelers to drive in, and it seems like connecting those shuttles to public transit would be included in the deal. I...

I had mentioned the good news of Chinatown, Broadway, and Arlington (Berkeley St) new headhouses in the General MBTA discussion thread, but I think there are good candidates which are very feasible candidates for next-up headhouse additions, to increase ridership and accessibility from...

I hadn't known about some of the new headhouses/lobbies being designed/built such as Broadway, Arlington; thanks a lot for sharing this! Yes, headhouses, not headphones 😂 I got to the Sullivan accessibility improvements, and I was hoping for something about a future for East Somerville access...

Just a general curiosity: would the Berkeley St headphones for Arlington ever have a use in being reopened? I recall them being useful while the station long t was being renovated when I was very young... They've kept them there, but they're just closed off by a gate.

2-10 Maverick Square's fencing is down and just interior work remains. Ground level restaurant remains unknown AFAIK. It didn't end up 10 stories, but it's a nice start for adding height to the square. This should add a nice corner from what was a taxi parking lot. The likening and...

Father and son. I'm really seeing the homage the architect paid to Cobb/Pei, without taking away from the Hancock.

Has there been any updates about the Food Hall planned?

It's designed to be connected, but doesn't feel that way from the cosmetic mismatch.

Not sure if this is fhe right thread for thus, but yesterday and today was a blessing to have the newly opened Pier Park II addition! It's nice but has some finishing touches such as bricklaying, small path addition, more landscaping, and such. Pros: 1. Accessible exercise equipment 2. More...

Got it, thanks for exploring 😀

Not to nitpick, but I live around the corner on Cottage, and 128 Gove is the church. It seems maybe their website is incorrect? The 128 Gove project will be the conversion of the church into apartments and tearing down the condemned side rectory for grass and parking. The building pictured here...

That would be a lot of wasted red paint when they could've just had a big purple terminal. In terms of accessibility, I think it would be an N annoying detriment to swap B and E colors after all this time of the terminal color coding, and made more sense to just have a purple scheme. As an odd...

There's a meeting for this coming up in East Boston at our library: https://facebook.com/events/s/red-blue-connector/1235590357833826/

Orleans St just south of Sumner St /Maverick Sq.

As an East Boston (Jeffries Point) resident for over 2 years, this is all refreshing! Some of the worst air quality is here, there's a severe lack of green space and trees, my street is a long block 4 story streetwall that feels like a concrete jungle. The parks do make it nice but are much...

If there wasn't a rail trail built between Methuen and Derry, this would be perfect case for TOD, as that line would spur off the Haverhill line... For now, it'll be a bike oriented development

I really hope. However. I think there should be a path on that side of the station to connect to this parcel here as well as ones in the area near Oliveiras, going parallel along the tracks. There might be a tricky crossing for the track that goes off to the east
