    Dot Block | Dot Ave, Greenmount St, Hancock St | Dorchester

    Totally agree. The City's obsessions with signals is so frustrating, as is how often they make the timing absolutely horrible.

    Archboston revamp

    I would just like two things: - a mobile-friendly site - the ability to "like" or "up-vote" posts

    Dock Square Parking Garage | 20 Clinton Street | Downtown

    Re: Dock Square Parking Garage | 20 Clinton Street | I wish it didn't feel so much like a building on top of a parking podium, that they had done more to try to hide that fact and make the facade feel more continuous.

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    I was on an SL bus coming from the airport on Friday night. As we approached D St, the signal was green, but it turned red before we got there. We only waited about 30 seconds before it turned green again, which is a big improvement over the past. I don't know why it didn't just hold the green...

    Biking in Boston

    Putting a bike lane on the MOS driveway was evaluated, and discarded: (1) The grades are too steep to meet engineering standards (2) The MOS doesn't want it there (3) It doesn't go the full length of Charles River Dam Road Charles River Dam road is a major connection for EVERYONE. Yes, in...

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    I work at 100 Summer St and noticed them installing a camera on the shorter building next door on Federal St.

    Anyone know what the website is for the webcam for this project that they recently set up?

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

    The big issue for me is that the gates should be for people entering the platforms, not for people entering the waiting area. What happens if a train is delayed or cancelled or for whatever reason you decide not to take it after you've been waiting? What if you need to leave and use the bathroom...

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    The protected bike lane needs a better design at the intersection of Boylston St. If it isn't marked clearly, pedestrians are going to stand in it while waiting for the walk signal to cross Mass Ave.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    That whole block of Stuart St is just horrible. No street level experience whatsoever.

    Hood Business Park | 480-570 Rutherford Avenue | Charlestown

    I really hate how the buildings seem to turn their back to Rutherford Ave. The City and the Charlestown neighbors really want Rutherford Ave to become much more of a main street rather than a pseudo-highway.

    Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial | Boston Common | Downtown

    The chosen design has an uncanny resemblance to the Gangnam Style statue in Seoul. http://tour.gangnam.go.kr/en/prcenter/new-landmark-gangnamstyle/

    Arsenal Yards | Arsenal Mall Redevelopment | Watertown

    Yes I think so because a toddler generally goes to bed at a regular hours. The partying 20-somethings are usually the most loud between 11 pm and 3 am. Not good if you're trying to sleep. Plus, kids are loud because they don't know any better. 20-somethings have full control over themselves...

    Arsenal Yards | Arsenal Mall Redevelopment | Watertown

    We have a 3 bedroom condo above us in the South End. It was occupied by owners, a couple with a young child, for a few years, but then they moved to Newton. Now they are renting it out to 3 20-something guys who work nearby and love to party every weekend. The previous owners also did not live...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    I would prefer that we had just torn down elevated I-93 and replaced it with nothing.

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    I do like this "close SFR for a year during construction and see what happens" approach. I think people will indeed really enjoy it. One question: where do you start and stop the closure (which locations)? EDIT: Oh you already answered it. Cambridge St to Charlesgate.

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    Advocates have been in a tough position of "do we push for things that are already tough for MassDOT to say yes to but would result in a pretty good end result" or "do we push for things that we have <1% chance of getting and risk that MassDOT just ignores us and does something terrible that we...

    Biking in Boston

    I love the new separated bike lanes through the Casey Arborway project, but I think they really screwed up the transitions at the intersections. Instead of keeping peds and bikes separate with clear crossing points, they just kind of threw up their hands and put in these weird mixing zones. But...
