If this has to be said, I don't know, but in this industry, and most other industries, yelling shut it down ASAP is to avoid any kind of ADA lawsuit or bicycle accident lawsuit will come their way if they look the other way on weekends while they finish these things up - this thing is a...
Local news channels had a field day explaining that "the newly installed fare equipment doesn't work" with very little additional context to the general public...
The article is referencing 4054 Mystic Valley Parkway, which is down the street at the Bertucci's.
That being said, this is miles better than what was originally proposed for that site.
I can't see the math working on a teardown. This is built over a sea of utility and transit tunnels. The core is the only place you can touch down structurally and the reason it looks the way it does today.
It's better to take the facade off and give it a tasteful refresh, and I agree - this...
Not sure if it's been mentioned on here yet, but this is commonly being referred to as the bacon building on Facebook and Reddit (at least a few times). I kinda like the nickname, and enjoy the pop of color in the sky on a grey day like today..
I'm sure they know what they're doing, but interesting to see mostly scaffolding on the now-free-standing brick wall directly adjacent to a railroad (and main road). Usually these kinds of things have some pretty decent structural steel fastened all over the place.. Perhaps it's not quite...
To be fair, this tweet is a little off what's actually planned - 8 days (split into 4-day spans) of 7pm shutdowns will start this weekend and I believe the following weekend. All other work is during normal night-work hours. The early shutdowns take care of substantial slow-zones between...
"Neighborhood groups," Nick Collins, and Michael Flaherty criticized the process for being too rushed and lacking community input. The new bid process will be 3 months, as opposed to 1, with a period of community outreach alongside the BPDA.
Considering the PRC (which I believe is the final step in getting a project going) has an approval date of 12/20/2022, I'm thinking it will. It's not clear if this project is fully funded either. MBTA projects are pretty clear in terms of what's funded and what isn't, while this says the...
I like it when I don't see it standing by itself, in a sense. With the Fort Point as a backdrop, and/or, in my head, with the future developments surrounding this, it's not too bad.
Just don't look too long while close up. I still think it's employing too many ideas.
Has there always been this much gravel called for in construction projects? Maybe I'm noticing it more frequently now, but it seems like every project recently has twice my expected amount of gravel everywhere (noting of course with no practical rainwater management/design experience)...
