When it's open it's efficient. But yeah, not reliable. Now there's the new bridge beside it. Still fail to see the point in not using the dam for this purpose at least till the ped bridge is built. Strikes me as a case of "computer says no".

Yup. This has always baffled me. If bikes can go over the Charles river locks, why not on the Mystic?

yea, really thought we'd seen the last of UHaul's proposal. Apparently not. Wonder why they kept such poor care of their existing operation if they knew they were going to apply again. East somerville is my closest T station and tho I love the new service, a cant imagine a more VE'd station...

I dunno, I find Sullivan square on a bike terrifying.

I think the girl in the kayak is laughing at all the boats under full sale so close to the shore! The renderings are pretty awful, lets hope they're just place holders till an adult has a go. Good to see this moving tho.

yea, now I dont even cut through stop n Shop. I just go through that new little park at the end of Cross st. The Kensington Underpass is still a mess. I cant believe who ever the powers that be are didnt make the developers of the tower on the Assembly side, pay to have it cleaned up and...

love it!

keeping the three smoke stacks and incorporating them in to the stadium would make it instantly iconic. Otherwise it'll just be another 25k MLS stadium.

what idiot gave permission for this?

the thing is, at the moment 'anything, anywhere' is far more generic and less unique than this. I like it. The old one was interesting but stuck out like a sore thumb and was terrible at street level. This works much better, especially considering it's on the line of 2 or 3 story residential...

I do like the idea of maybe bunching all the lanes to one side and having actual useable green space on the other, so maybe bunch all the car lanes with a tiny medium and then a park with one 2 way bike lane and footpath going through it. What I'd really love to do is leave the overpass...

I live a block off McGrath and want it moved even more to the west :) I'm with you on Herb Chambers tho. Cant believe they gave him permission to build his commercial fleet warehouse on the doorstep of a future T station. Helicoptering himself in and out. Brings nothing to the area other than...

I'm all for bike lanes but dont really understand why you'd have both directions on each side running parallel to the community path. One direction each way with good green separation from the road seems fine. I also wonder if theres any way to reduce the size of the intersection at washington...

I'm not getting in to this. off topic and irritating. I shouldnt have waded in to it. good luck.

jeez. the city, state, and country are fine relatively speaking. As for budgets, look at what we spend on the military compared to everything else. And tax revenue? The super wealthy with their off shore accounts are delighted with you preoccupying yourself with the cost of processing poor...

I haven't paid close attention to this. Without getting too political, What were the reasons for voting no? Good old fashioned nimbyism?

This is an excellent point and makes perfect sense. It's gonna take 10 years for the trees to mature, till they do this will be a huge expanse with lots of under used green space.

I'm not sure anyone is complaining about the amount of residential being built, It's clear that it's needed and will be a welcome additio. People are complaining about the aesthetic, how it looks. I think it looks terrible. And yeah, maybe a bit of a nod to Everetts industrial past/present could...

or if you want to build a whole new community, do it better.

thanks for the photos Javier, appreiciated. I drove by here yesterday hoping it might look a bit better in person. It doesnt. I cant believe how bad this whole thing looks. I think if there was a competition to design a terrible residential development, this could win. The only redeeming feature...
