The East Rozzy tree huggers are going to have a fit, but this is exactly what needs to happen over in that area. There are lots of places to build at a more substantial level than elsewhere in Roslindale and to be quite frank, the area needs something more than two strip malls and a half dozen...

Generally I agree with that concept. But the North End is unique and I have a different perspective on it -- @shmessy got what I was saying, particularly with the Fez analogy. As for the rest of your post, don't mistake what I said about one specific vantagepoint for my overall strong enthusiasm...

We know.

It's interesting how this development has changed the overall look and feel of (for lack of a better term) Regina Pizza Square. One of the things I always liked about going there for the pizza, was the way it suddenly appears from within a dense knot of streets that lack any external visual...

It's not a serious idea in my opinion, but in theory, it wouldn't be necessary to fill the entire canal. Just build some land bridges on which roads could be built. The body of water would largely remain, though no longer navigable for through passage.

In terms of frequency, to what extent is the single track platform design limiting for the stations southwest of Providence?

Now, now, it's about more than that. Karen's maid and the restaurant workers crucial to her lifestyle need the bridge to enable their two hour commutes in her service. :rolleyes:

This is just a guess, but I suspect they didn't have time to secure a spot in the schedule of the size appropriate arenas in Boston. The four Beanpot schools are probably the best option, and given the proof of concept plus advance scheduling timeline, they can probably get at least some...

I see this a lot, too, and as a strong proponent for and happy user of more bike infrastructure, I tend to disagree with such arguments. The example I use most often is the Columbus Ave center running bus lanes project. There was no room in the corridor to accommodate bike lanes but the transit...

I think the placeholder stadium design sucks and the smokestack is great. But at the same time, a soccer stadium at this location will be a positive development for the area. My hope is that we can have our cake and eat it too. The stadium in its final form should take cues from the industrial...

These signs went up in my neighborhood about six months ago. I agree they are great, haven't personally noticed them anywhere else, but definitely something that should be in a lot more places.

When I lived out that way, I usually rode on Faneuil/Arlington/Sparhawk, rather than Washington St. But when my daughter lived there, she rode on Washington, mainly because it has bike lanes. In my opinion, the route I used is still perfectly viable, especially with some infrastructure upgrades...

The New England Knockouts in Brockton (Frontier League) should be roughly equivalent to class A. It's definitely not as interesting as affiliated baseball, but it's something, and certainly a lot closer than Maryland.

I just bought seats for Saturday's game (7/13) and it did not appear that there were that many left, at least in the infield sections. The importance of the stadium to Worcester isn't just raw numbers, but what percentage are people like me, coming from elsewhere to enjoy not just a game, but a...

Mostly agree, particularly because I'm comfortable riding in a bus lane. But I know that doesn't work for everybody, so let's hope the final configuration is more like your aspirational take than the version in the render.

Perhaps we've gone too far, but it's worth re-quoting this portion of the article: My interpretation with this (and I agree), is that we didn't properly account for the costs back in the day. Big projects that are significantly disruptive should go through a lengthy (and expensive) review and...

I'm reserving judgement on that. The closest analog in the neighborhood is across the street from the CS Plaza. Yes, there are pedestrians wandering on to the bike path, mostly near the bus stop and crosswalks. But overall, there aren't too many, and it's much less problematic to deal with such...

This is largely due to the failure of advocates to clearly articulate the value proposition. I agree, Representative Straus doesn't understand, but the question is how to make it easier for him to get there.

We have a great local example of this in action regarding the South West Expressway. That said, I have to agree with @F-Line to Dudley and @Equilibria that in this particular case, there might be more winnable fights on the finer details.

That's what people said about the NYC income tax. New York's center of gravity is so strong, there isn't much that causes a net loss of population or voters.
