This bridge sucks. It's like the moakley bridge over the fp channel. Just a concrete lab with some ornamentation on it. Yuck city.

Think big. New front door for North Station, facing the river, and a north-of-boston intercity bus terminal, with extensive development of rail air rights and redev of the jail across the street.

Terminal A expansion

Causeway / Merrimac / Lomasney / Staniford intersection clean-up (combined with the Staniford-Causeway bikelanes)

Gigantic train departure board to entice / mock all the motorists crawling over the Zakim

Just build the tower from the original plan

Fun fact, i've had two different jobs in that building, and another in the building in the background. Great place to work / buildings to work in.

The approach on the seaport side involves raising the level of northern ave into a ramp starting from about sleeper st. The video shows this with a new set of stairs in front of the courthouse, at about 30 seconds. What it only barely shows is how much the ramp is going to crowd the barking...

Exactly. All those orange areas were originally marsh, of course, and then were filled in for RRs etc. Now theyre available for redevelopment. (Should incude the Pru area in that btw). I like that it's an archipelago of mini-cores that's a mirror image of the original archipelago of terra...

If I'm reading this right, theyre underperforming expectations but not exactly struggling. The thing about a casino is that you have essentially guaranteed profit in the gaming operation. And all the revenue trends cited here are month on month comparisons, not same month year on year (for...

All this pike air rights work is like a poor man's big dig, in the best way

They should just carve the words"This is not an arch" in roman lettering on the top of it and call it post-modern

Worst case they should just have to take the estimated cost of removing the floors and donate it to the local garden club or something

Hot take: the transportation tech of the future is bike lanes for electric-assist bikes, and light rail in protected ROWs on surface streets. Like 1910 but with less noise.

Make it part of a head house for my pet project - BLX to Kendall via north station!

Believe whatever you want. But it's not like Boston harbor is the only place where high tide is higher than it used to be. And a 2 foot higher seawall would be the difference between a foot or more of water on seaport boulevard or long wharf and no water on seaport boulevard or long wharf...

Vulvic and phallic at the same time; a blossoming choad

Thanks as always. Seems like the focus in that post is portals not stations? What about aquarium and courthouse? The vent box next to the water on the Eastie side of the blue tunnel? The pike portal @fort point? The cat vent at the intercontinental? I get it though, convinced that it's...

Thanks for yet another informative post. With this in mind, my crazy transit pitch is to build a harbor barrier to keep a near-future Boston Sandy (whether hurricane or blizzard) from doing to our tunnels (both road and rail) what the actual Sandy did to NYC's

Pro tip; there's a liquor store on the other side of causeway. My friend told me you can put a can of beer into a medium size coffee mug. Can't confirm.
