If only we could have rails AND trails. I don’t mean right up against each other. I mean creating new ROWs for one or the other so both can exist independently. The two things shouldn’t be competing or at odds with each other.

Franklin Park should be the city’s flagship park with tourists from all over the world flocking to see it. I don’t believe the proposed development gets us closer to that goal.

You'd have to have stairs, an elevator, and or a series of ramps to go from the roads to the park, which would indeed probably need to be raised to fit over the highway.

Physically? Probably. Economically? Eh.

There will never be a building on the pike in front of the art studios, no?

While I agree with this, does the state even have the power to directly alter individual town and city zoning laws?

You’re very very optimistic about the MBTA, its capability, its priorities, and its ability to react to increased demand in a meaningful way. There’s no way the current Authority would react this way to a new soccer stadium being built in Everett. It can’t even keep up with construction...

Do people here have strong feelings about the governor’s new housing act? https://www.mass.gov/news/healey-driscoll-administration-unveils-4-billion-affordable-homes-act-to-increase-production-and-lower-costs

Rutherford isn’t even the worst here. That honor would belong to Maffa or Cambridge Street.

I’ll believe it when I see it.. And bus lanes don’t amount to anything if they’re not enforced.

I don’t think this is true. It encourages road rage, which leads to accidents and unsafe behavior. Is there data to suggest having more cars on the road leads to fewer crashes/deaths per capita?

To play devil’s advocate, the traffic flow around Sullivan is really, really miserable. I think it could be vastly improved with some common sense re-engineering of the square’s intersections, but I don’t know if that’s being talked about as part of this project. I know as urbanists, we’d all...

Camberville should rip off the band aid and merge. Quick and straightforward way of evening out the financials.

Likely not even an airport.

…will it not be?

If they expect those neighborhoods to be functionally underwater in a few decade, I wonder what they think about the subway lines running through them and how we can be expected to keep our mass transit online.

Are the other Tai Tung buildings all concrete? I guess they're too tall to be plywood on a metal platform.

I haven’t seen many pictures of it, and my main ideas as to why are (a) it’s difficult and unsafe to take photos while driving, (b) our more prolific photographers don’t drive I-93 into the city from the north often, or (c) there are actually photos in a thread I don’t check very often. But the...

Looks like crap

Will the OL remain running from North Station through to State?
