It's finally going up! https://www.bldup.com/posts/vertical-construction-begins-on-1b-phase-2-of-fenway-center

Does someone have a link to master plan for Inner Belt? Seems like there is one and several buildings in line...

I tried researching this a little first but came up fruitless: how does the tracking for the OLX to Roslindale work when keeping the CR ? Is there a big enough RoW on the tracks as well as at the Roslindale station? I really think this extension should be fast tracked because it seems much...

It would be great to see some processes moving along on Hyde Square and Fairmount - they are most feasible and Fairmount is badly needed.

Is there any hints on any traction for line extension proposals for the MBTA, and what's closest, aside from BL to Charles/MGH? It seems like the T, albeit a different animal, is much more ambiguous regarding its future extensions/projects then LA, NYC, Chicago, WMATA...

Interesting - thanks for explaining. I thought there was a more observable general trend

J to B - electrify it to Lowell and eventually along the Wildcat to Haverhill then Portland for Downeaster service. Let's get this done first with electrification to Lowell to sweeten the pitch to extend to Nashua/MHT/Manchester as a 45 min ride to MHT from BON.

I was just having a conversation and its contrast in development constraints/allowances compared to Boston (and its specific neughborhoods). It seems there is still a very high cost/sq ft for lab space, while the area of Kendall isn't a huge space (unless high rise res and labs want to encroach...

I was waiting at Govt Center for my GL to Medford/Tufts for my first ride yesterday, and an older woman not familar with the area was quite confused when she saw destinations of Medford/Tufts and Union on the board and she wanted to go to Lechmere. The problem was that the station map still...

This is a borderline God mode proposal: I was considering a LRT line running as a cut n cover, partially tunnel bored route from Central Square in Cambridge to Washington St and Mass Ave under Mass Ave (tunneling under Mass Ave bridge under the Charles). This would replace a good chunk of the...

Any idea on how tall the 2 hotels in the 2nd phase will be? Can't find that anywhere.

I was looking at the Newburyport/Rockport Line ROW on Google Earth and it seems like there is a potential ROW for a silver line extension to Sweetser Circle in Everett - with some properties losing some space, as well as maybe clearing freight tracks. Is this possible? It would be great for the...

This seems like the cheapest way to provide a temporary fix, aside from just having free rides. Adding a button/function to fare vending machines that were gonna be placed at stations anyway. But let's ask this: will there be more lost from fares evaded than the cost of fare gates? Is this the...

How is the speed along the line? Is it reduced or reaching the anticipated speeds in the open sections? Also I feel like I'm beating a dead horse, but with this line and fare validation being a much different animal than the short Union Sq spur, unless people don't validate, there will be...

Now that there will be a lot more stations opening soon - will the fares be indefinitely "free"/validated for boardings at the new stops? Also, has the line/delays associated with fare validation improved? And will it be an issue with these stops?

This is a less relevant question- but will the recycled green line trolleys be green? Or will there be some plan to paint red or orange?

Those two are in completely different leagues to me, and it doesn't seem to be a redundancy. Wahlburgers is a huge chain now too

This is somewhat off-topic but I'm still waiting for Logan's first terminal location of Tasty Burger as it seems to check off a lot of the typical qualifications such as local staple, has alcohol, easy-to-churn menu items. Hopefully one opens soon.

A friend of mine who lives in Clippership received an email recently from his property mgmt company that Smokeshop is opening in the next few months

I noticed from curiosity that Delta is starting nonstop between Detroit and a couple of their other hubs and Honolulu. Would Boston be considered for that? It would be nice for another option aside from Hawaiian Airlines
