What is the history behind that Star Market? It seems terribly odd that it's built on expensive decking over the Pike, while its parking lot, which probably has a similar sized footprint, is on terra firma?

^ I’m not going to write a lengthy post right now but the Harvard bus shuttle, for many reasons, doesn’t qualify to me as real transit.

This seems big to me. At some point, won’t Harvard be thinking about a transit connector to Barry’s? How else will this area really ever thrive?

Wayfair seems to have won out vs. competitors like Overstock. But, I don't know what kind of lasting competitive advantage they will have over Amazon. I've always liked Wayfair - well-curated products at all different price-points (YGWYPF)

I agree SL1 is untenable. It should be a Logan Express surface route. Curb space at South Station is a problem that can be solved. Run the line in a bus lane down Summer with a couple stops along the way into the TWT. (And yes, to the OP's point, this is the model they should have from North...

Are there examples of real, successful TOD that link to subways via shuttle bus? Genuinely curious. It seems a rather tenuous prospect to me.

Step 1: bid the $3.5M asking price, less the cost of 6 tons of TNT. Step 2: Sell newly-vacant land to Beton Brut. Step 3: Profit??!

Curious what people here think was the louder, more consequential "No" - Boston to the Olympics bid, or NYC to Amazon?

My impression is that the NYC technology scene is to a large extent centered around froufrou retail and consumer goods startups that give recent college grads the opportunity to hustle and hipsterize for a couple of years before getting a real job. There's a lot of action, but it's not taken...

^ He's referring to NYC. Plans still on for Virginia and Nashville (I didn't actually know Nashville was ever part of HQ2...?) And no plans to reopen an HQ2 search. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/14/nyregion/amazon-hq2-queens.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage Edit - link...

So the 1+HOV configuration is used in the direction of rush-hour traffic?

This will take two seconds - please write your reps! My suggested letter to your senators and reps - find them here - https://malegislature.gov/Search/FindMyLegislator I am your constituent in XYZton, writing to strongly oppose the bill filed by Sens. Ed Kennedy and Nick Collins that would set...

FFS. What is the bill number? Everyone needs to write their reps asap

Stick, I want to thank you or a really great idea. I think the NIMBY-nay-sayers are overestimating the resistance this would generate, assuming a great transit plan were put forward - for example, both Acela/CR service and also local service to Norwood Airport via Fairmount on 10 min headways...

Small tangent... what do people call the Route 1 corridor towns, as a region? Sometimes it's included as South Shore, but I think that's really pushing it. It's also clearly not Metrowest. I'm pretty much talking about the entire region that's radially between Route 24 (east of which is more...

Thanks, Dave. Of all the towns on the Route 1 corridor, Walpole has one of the more vibrant and intact centers, with some funky little businesses that add a great deal of flavor. I love seeing it get some developer attention. Anyone in the area in nicer weather should also try to visit Francis...

Re: Crossroads at Kenmore | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square That's incredibly helpful. Thanks. It's also a brilliant idea.

Re: Crossroads at Kenmore | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square I'm very confused about the new traffic pattern they're proposing. Can someone ELI5?

When they say "presenting a dramatic proposal" is this a real developer-backed proposal to the city, or more like a public exhibition of an idea?
