"Give me the Freedom Zipper or give me death!"

^ The pigeon shit, like the hot rivets, is historically accurate.

This amusement park gimmick would be a great fit for the Lawn on D

..and good riddance to the Terrorism headspace. But i do think it is worse than other proposals. There is a freaking surface parking lot ("parking court") with 20 spaces. And two open-air tractor trailer loading docks. And a 'play area' surrounded by 10ft tall concrete slab wall. There is...

I mean - you could also just pay the debt service for it out of general revenue - property, sales, and income taxes, on the theory that investments like this aggregate into the general prosperity of the commonwealth. The old fashioned term for it is a 'public good'.

...and / or theyre really committed to a CATS acronym?

OK FWIW that Hipster Juice Barista is my new favorite Scalie ever.

I think this doesn't work. Transportation is a network (obviously), and any change anywhere in the network affects the performance of the whole thing. It's just not accurate to say that the riders exiting at a new station would be the only people who benefit from a new extension (e.g...

Security requirements of Federal Buildings are fundamentally anti-urban. It's a problem.

Re: Crossroads at Kenmore | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square My dudes. All that needs to happen here is to time the lights so that the EB light at Brookline ave goes green when the lights on comm ave feeding the new 'throat' go red. T That would 'release' any gridlock, because even...

Rt 9 & Kendrick St., more or less...

The skybridges there let you get to A and both sides of B within just a couple hundred feet

Yeah 100%. Level boarding, many wide doors, smooth ride for comfortable standing, frequent & evenly spaced frequencies.... It's going to make the SL look like ... a city bus crammed with luggage. It's also going to make economy parking a lot more attractive.

Yeah that's good stuff. And it's a reminder of what's at stake, and how completely inadequate the current planning and development effort is. This project - and the wider Beacon Yards redevelopment - is literally the same size, scope, and potential as the Seaport redevelopment effort (which...

They also make the claim that parking reduces vehicle trips because getting dropped off by a relative = 2 round trips, while driving yourself and parking = 1 round trip. (And getting dropped of by uber and taking a cab home = 1.5 RTs, because Uber can drop off but not pick up ... i think...)...

North Yards? Causeway Yards? Garden Yards? Canal District? Middlesex Landing? The Incline? The Lower Deck?

Terminal District? Lower Basin? Old Mill Pond? North Cove? Copps Hill Flats? The North Valley? The Triangle? The Top End? The Bull End? The Cause? Two Dams? Three Bridges? The North Portal? Revere Crossing? North Wharfs? The South Bank? Or we could go all-in on the irony and just...

Re: Crossroads at Kenmore | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square Yeah, I'll agree and say it again just because its such an exciting prospect - the idea of Kenmore as a place to be rather than a place to pass through is irresistible. (It's like turning Porter Sq. into Harvard Sq., for those...

Hell yeah "Garden District" Among other reasons I love it because this is by far the least green corner of Boston.

Re: Crossroads at Kenmore | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square I think Beton Brut hit the nail on the head with 'Neo-Metabolist'
