I miss Zo like the deserts miss the rain.

F-Line, do you know of any documentation out there regarding that project. I've stared at those inner tracks and always wondered. it'd be nice to see what the actual plan looked like.

I'm disappointing in myself for not thinking of that first. I haven't seen much other than what's in the mainstream, but I'm sure it is. It doesn't feel like the light rail plan is serving any real high demand routes. Personally, I'd rather see your Manhattan bound G become reality. It'd...

In other Brooklyn news, a light rail proposal connecting Brooklyn & Queens via the waterfront is gaining some steam. Curbed Article

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 I assume that it's 30 days to respond after the RFP is issued, correct? Either way it's quick for a development of this magnitude. It seems geared towards those that have already submitted on the RFI. A lot of those...

Just venturing a guess, but I'm guessing that leaving Boston off the map more to do with the straightness of the alignment & the grades, than just an oversight. If they're able to travel at 760mph, I assume that the hyperloop would require a much straighter ROW than the Acela or any other rail...

Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End With the spire in this image it looks like a really tall church IMO.

I went to some oyster fest thing there last year, it was awesome.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Accordia has a good design and the right architect (I'd love to see a SHoP built tower here), but I'd really rather see something built using HYM's site plan. The "block" that Winthrop square sits on already has 100...

there's this picture from Boston 02124 and a couple other that give a decent up close shot of it. It's probably just plywood so that they have something in place while they wait for the missing pieces. My guess is that they painted the plywood black to avoid the "Plywood Palace" look &...

I'd say the height is probably about as high as you'd want to go here. Anything more and you'd overshadow the Old Hancock as well as block the weather beacon from the south.

http://wonderfulengineering.com/the-worlds-longest-bus-is-here/ 12m is about 40 ft, which is the length of your standard transit bus. So it sounds like it should maneuver just as well as anything else the MBTA has on the road. I test drove a couple 60' articulated buses and they turn about...

Perhaps now we can focus on building getting a soccer specific stadium built in the near future. Would still like to have seen Widett circle decked over and the whole Olympic boulevard down to south station, regardless of an Olympics.

Re: Dudley Square Residential Tower | Washington St. | Roxbury Now if it only had some real rapid transit...

Re: The Boston Arch (Aquarium parking garage) It could if they let a private developer build it and lease space for the city hall functions, like walsh proposed during his campaign.

So if they went through with the expansion, it would have essentially been spending at least $1B to potentially make ~$.5B over the course of a deacade. By that logic it wouldn't break even till almost 2040. Am I missing something here?

Well that just killed a half hour of my day, sending me down a youtube wormhole of fire suppression.

Was heading south over the weekend and was surprised when I saw what looks like sheet piles driven & excavation started for this project...

Quick point/question on this. I know they can do the drywall framing & mechanical rough in, but I thought finishes couldn't start until the building is completely weather tight. To me that would mean the completion of the facade & roof system. If they are able to start before the building is...

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 While I truly like SHoP's design, I think we need to take a step back and evaluate the whole proposal before we say it's Accordia or nothing. As others have mentioned, not much is known about Accordia. As I'm sure most...
