Funny, that is how respectful international business meetings are usually conducted.

Just to be clear, plug in "Seaport" in Apartments.com and you definitely get properties on West Broadway and even further south!

Exactly. European and Asian cities routinely build metro lines (and high speed rail) in places American cities would view as "impossible". Impossible just means they really want to do it, so find a way; and we really don't want to do it very badly, so make excuses.

Rail Grade Maximums are not exactly just "silly FRA rules". They also reflect real world physics. Steel on steel is not known for its great traction and stopping resistance on grades.

We also do a poor job of highlighting how many more travelers fit in the same space on bikes versus SOV (both moving and parking).

Could very well have been custom precasts that have to be remade (damaged in transit or installation?). They go to the back of the queue for a new order that small. Could take months/years? It is probably like the damaged windows at One Dalton -- which took forever to get replaced, because...

I would assume, given the age of the building, there was nothing salvageable in the original mechanical systems, so might as well go high tech, energy efficient in a total rebuild.

On the Cubic readers?

Question, do any of the cycling advocacy organization try to orchestrate "cyclizing" particular downtown streets. By Cyclizing, I don't mean legal, City of Boston action. I mean guiding cyclists to make use of these street, for the purpose of creating a critical mass of cyclists. Flood a...

The tanks are also hazardous waste containers.

There are standards and general guidelines for the minimum size of symbols and fonts on wayfinding maps, driven by expected viewing distance: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/product/mapping/guidelines-for-minimum-size-for-text-and-symbols-on-maps/ To my eye, the font and symbol size...

To that neighbor: "Bless your heart" with that particular Southern tone.

Isn't the SL4/5 combination the highest bus ridership route in the MBTA system; and some of it (theoretically) is in bus lanes (unenforced).

There are still 100,000 college students in greater Boston.

Interesting how from the BCEC vantage you don't even notice the setback mid-way up.

Many downtown are just buried in concrete conduit -- quite small. Not tunnels.

I just worry that this district is a repeat of Edgewater in New Jersey -- where the poorly capped hazardous waste contaminated soil seeps toxic plumes in the buildings. I believe we are "trusting the developer" to properly cap the site? They are not doing wholesale removal and remediation.

This may have been commented upon before, but this weekend I saw what must be the poster child for quality on-board wayfinding information displays on rapid transit vehicles. The over door displays on the 8th Avenue Express (A) trains in NYC. High resolution displays that adaptatively display...

With no enforcement, no fare inspection, aren't you basically a chump if you pay? And doesn't that make all-door onboard "fare collection" a colossal boondoggle?

I think this year was noticeable worse. The legislature in their down-to-the-wire disfunction usually drops something. This year they dropped the ball on almost everything.
