It would be cool to have a big Boston History Museum, or a botanical garden, or maybe even a huge YMCA.

Settle down folks. This is simply a negotiating tactic. This puts other consortia on notice that the T is not necessarily going to auto-extend as most expected them to do. It gives other potential operator 3-4 years to make themselves known to the state and start working up a bid and partners...

Speaking of Primark: It looks like it is expanding into the 3rd floor of the tower. New wrap in the windows there this a.m. for "bigger better Primark in Spring 2017".

Re: SBWTC /South Boston Waterfront Transportation Center/Seaport/ S Boston So when they say it is "multi-modal" will it have a direct entrance to the Silver Line station? It seems like they should be able to cut one in to the fare gate mezzanine.

The MBTA and Fiscal Control Board missed an opportunity to support BLX on Monday. It seems Revere has a ground lease from the T on some land adjacent to Wonderland Station to be used for TOD. They now want to convert that lease into a cash purchase to spur the development...

Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail If you thought the existing South Coast Rail plans were failure by design, check this out... http://mbta.com/uploadedfiles/About_the_T/Board_Meetings/7%20%20SCR%20Presentation_2016_11_18.pdf

This is a pretty neat application. I do not know the price of hydrogen fill-ups but if the T had a number of these, would it be cost effective to plug them into the grid when not running as electrical generators?

Re: The Merano (Parcels 1B & 1C) | Bulfinch Triangle | West End Big luncheon/event over there today. Topping off ceremony?

Puma also has a major presence here.

And in smaller news, the Cheese Boy at South Station was totally removed.

What's that? We need ideas to create capacity in the core subway and entice more people out of their cars by having better connections, frequency and and reliable transit? Where have I heard of this concept before... http://www.archboston.org/community/showthread.php?t=1089&page=34...

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 So if the City got $152 million for a relatively small, somewhat hemmed in lot with a decrepit parking garage, I wonder what the State could get in these market conditions by selling the very large parcel at Cambridge...

Please never forget that the work it takes to construct and maintain projects and infrastructure can be dangerous. God bless these people and their families: https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/10/21/boston-firefighters-launch-technical-rescue-construction-workers-south-end

What are you wearing "DaveC from ArchBoston"?

I wish you didn't exist.

Kinda sucks if you take the shuttle. That stand alone security is awesome.

Saw a press release from US Dept. of Transportation that they were awarding MassPort $42 million for the Conley facility improvements. https://www.transportation.gov/buildamerica/FASTLANEgrants

I was in there the other day. It is a huge improvement for riders. I couldn't help but think that if the windows up high on the box could open it could produce some pretty remarkable natural ventilation for the the station and some of the tunnels. It could work like a chimney, drawing the hot...

Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail Total bullshit vaporware. They claim to received an "unsolicited" proposal for a "public private partnership" by an unnamed party that wants to build pay lanes in the Southeast Expressway. The toll to enter two "managed lanes" would theoretically be used...

STEEL!!!! Only two uprights, but steel!
