Re: Congress St Garage is being sold. The only way One Beacon could stand alone is possibly through a re-clad and ornamental top addition.

Where was 295 in Attleboro supposed to end up? Also, I think I saw somewhere that 495 was supposed to curve into Plymouth (44) instead of dipping south to the cape originally.

Re: Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 A 700' foot tower would look more in place downtown. A 1,000' footer, I think, would look better in the Back Bay between the Hancock and Prudential.

Re: Filene's Does anyone think this would be a good building for some kind of ornamental top?

By the time anything gets built on the old Garden parcels, the "new" Garden will be old and need replacing. I liked the area better with the old Garden and the El out front. Hopefully, there will be some big things proposed and built there in the not too distant future (5-8 years).

Re: Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Although off subject, having just three pointed skyscrapers downtown and one in the Back Bay just above what is currently there would do wonders for the skyline.

How does the Chicago skyline compare to NYC and Hong Kong?

Re: South Station Tower - Full Steam Ahead! Not really Transporatation practical, but I always pictured a gondolla ride between North and South Station.

Re: 45 Province St I wonder why this development did not incorporate a space for The Smallest Bar?

Re: Prudential Ctr/Exeter St Apartment Tower Are there those types of responses in places like NYC, Chicago, SF, Montreal, Toronto, etc.?

Re: New tower at Aquarium parking lot. As you all know, the Harbor Towers are 400'. Something in the 450' - 525' range in that location should still look rather impressive.

It would be nice if the T had subway and commuter rail service having a "last call" at 2Am (even 1Am would be nice) on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday nights. The last trains to leave for the suburbs at about 10:40pm is way to early to make any feasible use of public transportation...

The Harbor Towers are about 400' tall and Int'l Place is roughly 600' so something in the 450' to 525' range should fit in rather nicely in that area to kind of look like a step between those two sites. As you know, The residents of Harbor Towers will make certain objections against anything...

The Tobin Bridge could use some decorative lighting. It is one of the longest bridges of its kind (like the one in Fall River which is even longer). I think a good idea would be to toll MA borders on all highways on the incoming side (NY, CT, RI, VT, & NH). Integrate all transportation...

I always thought that a road should have been built up the middle of the green way with parks on either side (a total of 4 lanes). The pictures make it not look so bad. Facing northward on the green way, the view will look rather nice once the parcels in front of the garden are developed.

I think the 621' height was for 41 floors. Now information says it's going to be 49 floors which would make it around 735' high.

As the Green Line Boylston Station makes reference to the Theater District, the Orange Line NEMC Station should do so as well (maybe it already does "underneath" - I haven't been down in that stop for quite a while).

Is there a height limit in Cambridge or do high rises there top-out at what is economically feasible?

Buildings like this (10 or so stories and are long) really add/make for great street wall.

If this results in success, maybe the Silver Line will become rail after all. Also, you can build tall at City Hall Plaza. They're going to eventually build tall over South Station.
