    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    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...

    Kendall/MIT Infill and Small Developments

    ... Is that pre-cast concrete panels acting as the "sheathing?"

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

    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...

    808 Memorial Drive Renovation | Cambridgeport

    I welcome the pop of color (that's also not just brick-red) for the 6 months of the year it's cloudy and grey out...

    10 World Trade | BGI Office Tower (Massport Parcel A2) | Seaport

    This is my guess as well - they are exposed on this side in one of the first renderings.

    Medford Life Science Park | 278-326 Mystic Avenue | Medford

    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.

    Lobby Renovation/Addition | 175 Federal Street | Financial District

    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...

    Nice to see it takes work being done on our car infrastructure to make changes to our public transit fare structure...

    Union Square D2.1 | 10 Prospect Street | Somerville

    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..

    Metropolitan Storage Warehouse Redevelopment/Renovation (MIT) | 134 Mass. Ave | Cambridge

    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...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    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...

    BCEC expansion | Seaport

    "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.

    Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike Parcel 7, Beacon Street | Fenway

    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...

    Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike Parcel 7, Beacon Street | Fenway

    Is this bridge associated with MassDOT Project 613124? If so, it is in design. I wouldn't expect construction any time soon, though...

    Eli Lilly IGM | 15 Necco Street | Fort Point

    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.

    The St Regis Residences (former Whiskey Priest site) | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    They're just stoking the "absolutely everything that is new is gentrification" fire constantly seen online.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    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)...
