Another Globe article. Basically, everyone is singing the same tune: 'there needs to be a public process'. But the mayor of Everett would make the public process contingent on the legislature first de-designating the site as a DPA...

From Google maps, there is an elevated, covered walkway between the big condo building on Comm Ave., and the parking garage.

The answer to why they are only three stories may be life safety. Between 384 Comm Ave (condos) and the new town houses is a narrow alley, which will be accessible only from Newbury St. once the townhouses are built. It may be that the only way to get an aerial ladder to reach a fire in the...

From StubHub, I think that level of pricing pretty much defines the demographic who can afford to attend a Celtics game. Similarly for baseball @ Lansdowne St. Ice hockey is a sport for White folks.

Ragon is jointly run by HARVARD, MIT, and Mass General.

FWIW, the Spanish Steps were built in 1726, over 200 years after the RC church at the top of the steps was built. The church, Trinita dei Monti, is a French church, because the church and the land under and surrounding the church are owned by the government of France. Construction history...

Based on my reading of the language quoted below from a press release from Conservation Law Foundation yesterday, the site was still operational, but not currently being used for storage. That is, the tank farm was mothballed.

I don't believe this development had its own thread previously. If it did, mods please merge. ^^^ image courtesy of the Globe. https://archboston.com/community/forums/development-projects.20/post-thread

The Massachusetts House passed a $3 billion spending bill today. No indication the stadium in Everett provisions were restored to the bill before passage.

Everett is looking down the barrel of a big reduction in property tax revenue because the generating station is being shut down. $300 million was already chopped off the assessment in 2023. Even more interesting is that Encore pays no property taxes, but pays the city $30 million in lieu of...

IMO, any analogy to the Spanish Steps is misplaced. At the top of the Spanish Steps is an obelisk dating to the early years of the Roman empire, and a church dating to 1502. https://maps.app.goo.gl/qbWBGrBTEbUUoXSn6 A Google street-view of the obelisk and church from near the top of the...

The CLF is responsible for Boston Harbor becoming as clean as it is. The CLG filed a lawsuit back in 1983. Back then, Boston Harbor was characterized as the 'Dirtiest Harbor in the United States.' Rather than let the CLF tout its successful effort, I'll let the Boston Foundation do it...

Maybe its by design to reduce bird strikes. https://pa.audubon.org/news/seven-ways-bird-collisions-buildings-can-be-prevented

From Joan's column, Photo courtesy of the Globe. From the photo which looks to have been taken at high tide,, talk about a site that is vulnerable to sea level rise, and higher storm surges...

The MoA does not reference any of these studies. Perhaps it should, but it doesn't The city could also be instructing Kraft to design pedestrian access that does not rely on one or more of these studies ever being implemented. The worst-case scenario. I will note that the city is allowing...

This is the parcel being developed by Winn. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ftoQyWhcvZNYQkVX9 The city of Salem's assessing map indicates this parcel is owned by the MBTA. The city's map indicates it owns no land on the north side of Bridge St. in the vicinity of the station and the garage

In the Memorandum of Agreement between the city of Everett and the Kraft organization, the city commits to executing a separate MoA with Encore to prohibit soccer fans from parking in any of the casino's garages / lots. The Krafts are to pay for "a study and subsequent implementation of...

Not what I want, What the owner of the Red Bulls wants. The RB stadium apparently has little parking to speak of; Access via the PATH station at Harrison. ---------------------------- If one factors an Orange Line train capacity of 700 passengers, it would take 35 otherwise empty trains to...

Salem station is at image right. This proposed new apartment building is basically atop the old ROW from the Salem tunnel to Peabody. Winn is the designated developer. This is part of a larger project, in which Winn redevelops two historic government buildings. One of these is seen at image...
