To clarify, there was feeling in recent posts that Boston wanted to either to have a significant voice in what gets developed, and if it felt it couldn’t get that to scupper it all together. The point I was trying to make was that neither of those two outcomes was likely. The manner that the...

City of Boston signs agreement with Wynn Resorts | Boston.gov Revenue - Massachusetts Gaming Commission (massgaming.com) $68M paid over fifteen years on an operation that had a gaming revenue of $62M this past October is grease. Without going thru the history of this thread and this thread...

Being tangentially familiar with the volume of grease that flows on that side of the Mystic, we can all be confident that: the Kraft family has been invited as a player to secure loans and to bring their good name, the public input/community outreach/CLF lawsuits will not play a significant...

Do you mean get off 25 onto 6 going to the Cape, or off 28 to 6A going off? Yikes. Good luck with NIMBYs in that scenario. Also, not for nothing but besides the residents of Falmouth and MV, the Steamship Authority, Wood Hole, USGS, and Otis might have a different opinion on the Bourne just...

Canopy on both sides was an ask by the town given the full height platforms’ final elevation. It will be about the same height as standing and waiting on the roof off a two or three story house. T said they‘d make the change if the town paid for it. So town decided inbound only was the way to...

Not sure if it matters for this conversation, but I do know the ASCE is considering the increased BEV weights in their next ASCE-7 live loads review cycle. Likely won't impact the decision-making process for the replacement project now, but a BEV car can weigh as much as an ICE pickup, and...

The final design is a bit different than those renderings. All the access (ramps, stairs, etc.) on the outbound side will be in the Aberjona parking lot, and there will be a canopy along the length of the inbound platform. No construction past the Quill rotary any longer. No word on the HSR...

Water transportation was designed for the typical male breadwinner to take the ferry to the office and then come back – that 1950s lifestyle. Fill in the Charles and pave it over. Think of all the bridge construction and maintenance savings.

The Boston branch of the Archivio Apostolico Vaticano will ultimately house the Holy Grail on the subterranean bunker's 9th level.

Thanks, Dad. Enter at 4:20 for a 4:40 Lowell train (typically boards at 4:30 so planning your travel from somewhere in the city to arrive at NS ten minutes prior to boarding is not unwise). 4:40 is cancelled. Next one is 5:25. And after experiencing both getting cancelled and waiting for the...

Once activated, the ticket will time out. Admittedly, it does give you a long time, but the app does currently tell you not to activate it until you get on the train. If you're using the app it probably would be best practice not to enter the waiting area until they announce a track. So, not...

How will the NS fare gates work with the mTicket app?

Ahhh. I get it. I thought we were discussing infrastructure and development, but it's just pedantic tomfoolery. Gedankenexperiment! I'm in. Company A owns lots 1, 2, and 3 and pays it's fair share of property taxes for them. Lot 1 is a materials plant, Lot 3 is the equipment yard that...
