    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Yeah no render of the court view, but this does show some exterior windows on the north side, which is interesting? And my best guess from this one is that what's happening is that they're adding a 'club' experience behind the existing rafter seats, plus a single additional row of 'green...

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Yeah keep in mind there's 2OL and 1 GL platform at the bottom level, and 1 GL platform + unpaid lobby on the mezzanine level of the station. Tunnel starts from the unpaid lobby on the Mezz level.

    Silver Line to Chelsea

    Right. It would be tricky, but I think it's feasible. So in each rush hour you'd have 2 traffic lanes and 1 bus (SL + Logan Express + Peterpan etc.) lane in the rush direction, with the other lane being all traffic in the non-rush direction. Especially hard to link up with HOV lane in...

    Crazy Airport Pitches

    The Norwood airport pitch actually got me thinking. What if what the region "needs" is an airport serving worcester & providence in the same way that Bradley serves Hartford & Springfield? If it were accessible from Boston it could even pick up some niche / discount traffic from Logan as...

    Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

    I have no information at all on this - its 100% speculation - but i wonder if (Boston-based) DraftKings is looking for a co-branded sports betting zone.

    Commonwealth Pier Revitalization (née Seaport WTC)| 200 Seaport Boulevard | Seaport

    Re: Seaport World Trade Center Redevelopment | 200 Seaport Boulevard | Seaport Wow that looks real nice. Among other things it should dignify the boarding process for the various large booze cruise boats - the existing walkway around the WTC is pretty narrow and there's nowhere at all for a...

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    Or just build a big deck over the whole thing and plant a park on it. Bring it all the way into Comm Ave @ the bridge. You wouldn't be much higher above the water at the edge of it than you are at the end of long wharf at low tide....

    General Infrastructure

    ^ Isn't this obviously a question of 'better for some, worse for others'..with all of us making more-or-less intuitive guesses about the specific mixture & magnitude of winners vs. losers? And it's also a question that our civic leaders took a long hard and serious look at like 30 years ago...

    Silver Line to Chelsea

    I wonder if we'll ever seriously consider splitting the two tubes into 4 separated lanes, with a reversible 2 / 1 / HOV configuration a la the Holland tunnel.

    Crazy Airport Pitches

    Yeah the flightpath concentration is legit. Frankly we get some relentless day too, way up here in Essex.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    True story - I has a girlfriend once who had a traumatic brain injury and every now and then would start to spin off into a hypo-schizophrenic fugue and claim loudly and incessantly that the CIA was listening to her thoughts and using secret tape recorders to record all of our conversations...

    Crazy Airport Pitches

    I wouldn't bet on the ted staying dry if the Fort Point Channel starts overflowing. Any storm surge epic enough to get any landing gear wet at Logan is also going to take out the blue line, the Harbor Tunnels and the Oneill Tunnel for a month or more..... Also - put the new runway / runway...

    Crazy Airport Pitches

    Yeah for real. And they only run a landing pattern onto 33L (i.e. over Medford) very rarely, its mostly a dozen sunny afternoons in the spring when there's a strong seabreeze off the cold outer harbor water...
