    Biking in Boston

    Did anyone attend the BU Bridge meeting? Are the slides posted anywhere?

    Roads and Highways General Development Thread

    Does anyone know what's up with the highway signs on 128 in Burlington/Woburn stretch? At night, the reflectivity is chaotic; you can't read them. In daylight they appear normal.

So for this project: https://www.bostonplans.org/projects/development-projects/36-parker-hill-avenue You can also click in the timeline where it says "The comment period is currently...

    35 McGrath Highway | Somerville

    The floating text over the windows/glass makes the store signage very difficult to read. I wonder why they want to keep that design aspect despite throwing all this money at a new façade.

    Mission Hill Infill and Small Developments

    I've recently started submitting comments for pretty much every project. I'd encourage others to do so as well. Oftentimes we may think it only matters if we are a direct abutter, but I've definitely seen some of the design critiques I've made be addressed even while the building might be...

    Union Square Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    A city councilor was pretty annoyed about it too, but unclear what the outcome was. https://x.com/BenForWard3/status/1789753717207531762

    Davis Square Somerville Infill and Small Development

    It was a bit annoying that housing used to be allowed here as of right, but they made it a forbidden use with a zoning change made in the last few years.

    Biking in Boston

    They have also finally repaved Beacon St in Back Bay and will be putting the separated bike lane back in soon. That one had been super rough riding from the get go.

    Boston Water and Sewer Commission development | 923-925 Harrison ave| Roxbury

    Looking at the most recent presentation, there is a lot of mismatch between the plans and slides, but I think there's some consensus between them that the parking lot is a placeholder for a 6-story Phase 5 building.

    246-248 Dorchester Avenue | South Boston

    Hopefully they got rid of the hat

    Belmont Developments

    I think they squished it horizontally so that you can't tell upon first glance that the roof is actually more shallow-sloped compared to what would normally be expected for this type of design: https://www.redfin.com/MA/Belmont/147-Lexington-St-02478/unit-1/home/191966229

    MGH Ragon Building | 55 Fruit Street | West End

    I bike over the Mass Ave bridge daily and I was really surprised how prominent this was in the 'skyline'.

    I'm confused about the approved gas station expansion plans here from a couple months back? https://www.universalhub.com/2024/more-gas-gas-says-stan-jamaica-plain-gas-station

    Lyra (née The Huntington) | 252/258/264 Huntington Avenue | Fenway

    Their closing of the Huntington Ave NB/EB surface road is annoying. They close it down before the morning rush hour and it often doesn't reopen before the PM rush. Why not just keep it closed 24/7 and not designate all those resources to moving fence lines every day?

    South End Infill and Small Developments

    The foundation seems to match the drawings, but I can't figure out how the mansard roof is supposed to work. It looks like they copied the building to the right of this, but it would actually have to be mirrored instead?
