Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower I just want to add a few things from my notes to what KZ said regarding what was said at the meeting. I'm not too familiar with names of people (such as commentators) so bear with me. During the presentation, Elkus talked about the building form and...

Re: Mandarin developers eye Pike parcels for project Considering the opposition that Berklee encountered when it tried to make a proposal for a tall dorm on one of these parcels, this will be a tough sell to get approval for anything with "height," which is probably also necessary for viability...

Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower I also took notes of all the questions/answers.

Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower I sat in the exact seat behind you.

Where is the governor in all this? Why can't we get some strong leadership on him to fix this. He's made public comments on commuter rail but anything on the Urban Ring? Not only is it BRT, but the map seems to be highly redundant with existing stations. Should use this opportunity to expand...

Re: Congress St Garage is being sold. One of the bigger issues is how they are going to get the eastern parcel to interact with the Haymarket bus terminal-area there, which could use a overhaul anyways.

What a disaster. Why can't the Museum move, and something else, like oh I don't know a building, be built instead of a terrible skywalk.

Yup it looks like a facadectomy. The two existing fronts are in white, I believe.

Re: Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 I believe that's the Berklee expansion proposal, now dead.

Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail Adding Bus-only lanes to highways into/out of the city, along with bus only lanes along Surface Road/RKG could become a very good and well-used system.

Re: One Kenmore (Mass Turnpike PARCEL 7) If the parking lot were to say, free up the other parking lots in the area for development, It would be a good thing (since the gain would be offset by loses elsewhere in the neighborhood). However, most lots are now owned by the sox, and they have no...

Hope they reopen Dorchester Ave too (you'd think it would be automatic, but you never know with these open space freaks).

Re: Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 no, it's part of the plan to dead end Devonshire permanently when this is built. From page 16:

Re: Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 I don't like that they are closing Devonshire St. off, and not for much reason either.

Any chance you're willing to make blank versions of those maps available? or at least how to get them?

I agree with the article. But, obviously it's not going to ever be redone... seems that these days once something becomes "park" or "open space" never shall it be developed!! Anyways, one of my ideas for improving this area, and merging with the City Hall movement ideas, was to move City...

About time. The MTBA should be much more proactive in looking to develop air-rights and land it owns. They should look into developing those empty lots that serve as glorified bus stations or parking (BHCC, Wellington, e.g.). As for this one in particular. If Umass was to design its master...

They worked fine probably because there weren't 100,000 cars traveling it each day. In all likelihood, putting traffic lights on Storrow will lead to all day traffic jams.

Light Rail Line, Chelsea-->Charleston-->North End-->RK Greeway-->Summer St.-->South Boston Bypass-->Dorchester

Yeah, i've been wondering about those girders, they went up this year, but the BRA website doesn't have the address listed.
