I feel like if Massport were to do that, in 10 years time you’d have folks on here asking why Logan’s new additions feel so out of date. Terminal C piers excepted, I kinda like Logan’s piecemeal nature. It’s like a vision of what American infrastructure would look like if we continually...

So there’ve been a couple of bus layover spots setup throughout Somerville. This one popped up on Somerville Ave in Union Square. Are these associated with any bigger projects?

So, as far as I can tell, bus to subway transfers are broken and aren’t charging the 70 cent fare difference.

Any idea how wide the walkway is on the seated sections? I’m glad that they’ve done away with the awkward half seats that they’ve got on the 8 and 9s… but it looks like all of the seated sections are gonna be cramped as heck.

Fences are down for the mini park at First and Cambridge.

I’m assuming the USNC mention here was a mistake given that any authority they would have is bounded by Highland ave.

Have to go down to NYC for a bit and decided to check out Tailwind's pricing on a whim... Their website seems to have been stripped bare. Anybody know if they've officially cancelled the seaplane service?

Has the MBTA ever proposed a date for full implementation of the redesigned bus network? I'm asking because Somerville is currently installing floating bus stops for the 85 on Summer St... and once the new bus network goes into effect, there won't be any buses to use them. Seems like a bit of a...

We’ve got some lab/office tenants in the upper floors. Interior buildout seems to just be kicking off as they were loading in framing and drywall material via the driveway on the west side of the building.

Europe was also forced to rebuild many of their large cities in the 50s-60s. The areas that Boston rebuilt around then are blissfully wire free… but otherwise crappy.

Why fix what isn't broken? They just kinda fade into the background when you live around them. Besides, Somerville is only 15-20 years removed from being referred to as Slummerville and has plenty of higher priority concerns: stormwater mitigation, rats, street safety etc. Not to mention the...

As it stands, housing is specifically excluded in the FAB zones.

Says the person who injected the xenophobic aspect into the conversation. Grow up.

Looks like you’ll have to find a scapegoat elsewhere. Oh no.

Somerville is a LONG way off from “imitating” Cambridge in this regard. 65% of Cambridge’s property taxes are paid by commercial entities. Somerville’s number is closer to 16%.

Do you have a specific reason to call out Chinese metallurgy or are you just being racist? (yeah yeah CRRC blows, but so did Hyundai, Breda and Boeing)

Bow has singlehandedly changed both the vibes and the gravity of the square. Before it opened, there really wasn't much reason to go to the Somerville Ave part of the square. Heck, I've heard from some friends that work at the businesses, that the new crowds have caused the P.A. Lounge/Union...

I pass through this area almost every day… honestly can’t remember it flooding multiple times in a single year. It flooded during the big storm at the end of July too.

Whelp, we've got the next Green Line service suspensions on the books: - Union Square branch is being suspended 7/18-8/28 for MassDOT to do repairs on the Squire Bridge. No shuttles will be provided. - Service between North Station and Gov Center is being suspended 7/29-8/9 Add these to the...

Not to completely derail the thread, but folks are mixed on 10/10 in Taiwan. It’s the National day of the Republic of China, a republic which was a pretty brutal military dictatorship under the rule of the KMT up until the 1980s. Like all things Taiwan, it’s complicated… and it’s further...
