    General Infrastructure

    ^ I haven't been over that way in a while, but I thought the BSG scales were on the access road immediately behind the BHCC parking lot closest the plant (just north of the Tobin ramps). That exit to Rutherford Ave is not a mile. Do they have another scale somewhere else? Or am I not reading...

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    Flame-bait invite incoming! I frequent the existing area as well, and am excited about the change. To me, the walking paths along the existing hardscape are at best indirect, and mostly uninviting due to either weather, or path condition, or lack of any sense as to where someone should be...

    Brickyard at Assembly | 120-132 Middlesex Avenue | Somerville

    Family friendly sports bar. Food is good, beers are cheap, service is fast, TVs visible from all seats, kids get crayons, and depending on how the Sox do a meal can be an inexpensive outing for a family.

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    Getting a bit off the CR track (hah), one of the pitches from the town and push-back requests from the the FCMB to move ahead with the rebuild has been a TOD at the Waterfield Lot which is immediately adjacent to the current and future inbound CR entrance (west side). The existing CofC building...

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    If Mystic Lakes and Mishawum get a stop, why not bring Winchester Highlands back! Kidding aside, by the time Winchester Center is done it will be closing in on 70 years since anything of significance was completed at the station. So, Green Line to Woburn looks to be on the 22nd century wish list.

    They've begun demolition activities at Winchester Center Station. Here's the presentation from the last public meeting: Winchester Center Station Improvements Project Final Design Update (mbta.com)

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Does slide 10 imply that moving the CR to its permanent side of the ROW is now at least a full year behind their performance goal date of this month? If not, have they announced how far behind schedule that milestone has fallen? I imagine that is a GLX critical path item that would delay the...

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Didn't the GLX team say at a FMCB meeting in August that the timeline for moving the CR back on to its permanent side of the ROW had slipped on paper, but the real internal goal was to get it completed by this month in order to prevent further delays due to winter weather? It doesn't seem like...

    Boston College Master Plan

    ^Last I heard they were going to land bank it as mostly a new open space/green. But that could have changed.

    archBOSTON Update: A New Dawn

    Jusin7 is wrong. But I agree that moving the database to another platform is trivial. Justin7, I think incorrectly, assumes that the community is the database. It is not. I'm an older, and have been thru all the battles. Don't post to any site, including archboston.org, if you have...

    archBOSTON Update: A New Dawn

    I’m new here relative to most, and more a lurker than a participant. I am, however, an architectural and transit enthusiast, read new posts daily, and greatly regard the participation and depth of knowledge of everyone here. It’s my opinion that most of the concerns about this issue assume...

    MBTA Fare System (Charlie, AFC 2.0, Zone, Discounts)

    Well, the "Bar Access" shown is by itself illegal, unless they mean that will be an new ungated entry into the bar, which defeats the purpose given it has two exits in the gated area. The booze is behind a fence currently for a reason (see pouring license). And then try to convince CR users...

    MBTA Fare System (Charlie, AFC 2.0, Zone, Discounts)

    The bathrooms at North Station are outside of what is shown as the gated area in the renderings. Also, food and beverage vendors within the gated area get lots of foot traffic by non-CR riders before events at the Garden. It won't be laid out as currently shown.

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    I just noticed what seems like the large distance between the O’Neil building and the hotel side of the Hub; about 15 steps, so 30 feet or more. What’s going there? There’s not nearly that much between O’Neil and Avalon.

    The Alcott (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End

    Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End Given the proximity to BS&G, you wouldn’t think that would be necessary or economical.
