I used to live a street over from here on Magnus Ave. In September 2020 there was a neighborhood meeting (which I missed) for the following proposal at this parcel (and the house behind it at 377). There was no followup after the meeting by our electeds or the developer, so residents had no idea...

205 Beacon St has to be the most elusive development project in Somerville right now. The only information I can find online is a demolition hearing from Summer 2020. Steel is already rising though and it's MUCH larger than the 2 family house and empty lot that were there before. Am I not...

Apparently they will be discussing this at the board meeting this week. While they're allowed to make changes to times, a policy change like a return to no bikes had to be approved by the board (which as we know, did not exist for a while).

It's not a Google thing or a realtor thing. The Town designated it as such and promotes that name. JFK Crossing | Brookline, MA - Official Website (brooklinema.gov) There is also a sign in Coolidge that's been there for over a decade: https://goo.gl/maps/QcqjuoLAXfC4kMZH9 It may not have...

Proposal to add floors to 1154-1156 Dorchester Ave, down the street from Savin Hill station. The materials look a little cheap, but I like the concept. No parking too! 2021-09-08_Small Project Review Application (SPRA)_1154-1156 Dorchester Ave.pdf | Powered by Box Public meeting tomorrow, Oct...

It's interesting that the building is named "The Calvin at Coolidge Corner", when not only is this business district actually JFK Crossing, but JFK Crossing was also the project's name when it was first proposed.

I noticed on 93 south today that there are many yellow signs that are *mostly* still covered with paper saying something about expect buses using breakdown lane between 6-9am?

I haven't been on the green line in maybe a year and noticed that the Type 8s have new destination screens. Yellow dot matrix style on black instead of black letters on yellow squares. I also find it weird that its only the Type 8s when they just finished completely redoing all the Type 7s and...

While BlueBikes stations can and certainly do complement the MBTA, that is not their primary goal. There are many trips that are now possible without a car because stations are located in the neighborhoods and not only at stations. More stations will always be better and can help bring more...

This is the standard construction sign for Boston, though "renovation of" was removed several years ago. https://www.cityofboston.gov/images_documents/Sign%20Code%20Guide%20Color%20April%202016_tcm3-53579.pdf

It takes many days to install roadway markings/controls. I would hold off passing judgement on the design until it is fully installed.

Unfortunately shortly after the previous proposal was approved, they stripped it for demo :(

I believe this is the former proposal that they reference: Basilica Court | Boston Planning & Development Agency (bostonplans.org) Approved in 2005 and never built.. BRA approves plan for Basilica Court - Boston Business Journal (bizjournals.com)

The billboard is new/relocated/resized. I don't see how they think it could be practical to block windows like that.

The BPDA had an RFP out for the parcel on the corner of Tremont St and Melnea Cass Blvd. Looks like proposals were due already (see Bay State Banner article) and they'll be discussing them tonight...

The material they are using lasts about 4-5x longer than standard traffic paints. I remember, Cambridge 'painted' their bus lanes initially since they were pilot projects and the paint was already fading a couple months in. There is a cost difference for sure, but Ruby Lake Glass (what they're...

They had a meeting about this project earlier this week. Anyone watch it or hear the feedback they received?

The "orange indentations" are plywood doors for the materials hoist used during construction. They'll soon be replaced by glass.
