    Green Line Type 10 Procurement

    Any idea what the passenger capacity will be on a single Type 10 vs the current two-car Type 7/8 hybrids they run now? Also, if they were to run two Type 10s in tandem, would they be able to do it with a single operator?

    One Harbor Shore Dr. | Fan Pier Parcel H | 1 Harbor Shore Drive | Seaport

    Just an addendum to this: Over the weekend, I was walking by this site and out of curiosity, decided to pop underground below Goodwin Proctor's building to see if the parking garage below this site had been blocked off in advance of construction. And indeed, the Parcel H side of the garage was...

    Seaport Square (Formerly McCourt Seaport Parcels)

    Aren’t these two parcels adjacent to the Amazon buildings slated to be residential? Crazy that two large office buildings couid be constructed and funded at this site over the past 10 years, but residential is stalled?!

    One Harbor Shore Dr. | Fan Pier Parcel H | 1 Harbor Shore Drive | Seaport

    Not a huge development, but walked by the site Sunday and it appears the wood coverings around the steel stumps has been removed.

    The New Residential Conversion Thread

    So the Beantown Pub survives? Wouldn't mind seeing something like this for the buildings on the corner of Winter/Tremont streets

    How long have you lived here?

    Moved here in 2007 when I was in my mid-20s. Grew up in Central Connecticut, but tended to gravitate toward the NYC area when I was younger because my mother's family is from Long Island and NJ. After spending a few years post-college in upstate (far upstate) NY and northern Connecticut as a...

    Permitted hotel for sale | 188 High St | Downtown

    Walked by this site earlier today. Looks to be under construction.

    Seaport Sq. Block N | 350 Summer Street | Seaport

    Both buildings appeared to secure financing in June 2020. Feels like a bad time to build office and lab, but then again, if loans were secured in 2020, the money will never be cheaper. (I do hope this one is built. Sampler seems to be a positive sign)...

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Haven't been inside yet, but curious if these multi-media walls have been installed or will be? From what I can see, it seems the connector was built true to the renderings, but I haven't seen any sign of these in photos, so far. Those would certainly go a long way toward inviting people in...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    This response may come across as overly flippant, so I apologize for the tone, but I feel like there is a political reality here that is going un-discussed or unacknowledged. The single biggest reason why we can't seem to get the T fixed is that there is little to no chance any politician -...

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I've been asking myself this question for the past couple of months - since all of these crazy slow zones and restrictions started. Who is actually making the call on where these slow zones are and how fast (or slow) the trains are allowed to go? Because it's starting to feel like the lawyers...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Took the Red Line from JFK to Quincy Center this morning for the first time in two months and it continues to be just awful. I was on one of the older series of cars and frankly, I don't think their controls are suitable to the low speeds the trains have to travel at....nearly the entire way...

    Minneapolis | Twin Cities

    So Minneapolis is one of those cities I've considered visiting, but I've been reluctant only because from what I've seen, the street life...particularly in the downtown area, seems completely lacking. I've done a lot of exploring on street view and watched a few videos on You Tube of people...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    ^^The residences are being marked at Ritz Carlton? Is that a new development?

    Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike Parcel 7, Beacon Street | Fenway

    This doesn't surprise me. I've heard rumblings of some major construction projects having issues aquiring steel girders. For example, the extension of Autoroute 35 in southern Quebec to the Vermont border has been stalled because they have been unable to source girders for the last river...

    The New Retail Thread

    The few times I was in that store, my instinct was that it just wasn't terribly practical to drive into the mall property, park in the garage and walk across the sky bridge into the store itself, where the items I was looking for were on multiple levels. It just didn't strike me as a good...

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    I can actually see this one from the top floor of my home and I've been waiting for months for the top floors to get their horizontal lighting. Has there been any speculation or rumors if the top mechanical portion of the building will have some sort of lighting effect, maybe even some color...

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Glanced at the harbor Web cam tonight and it almost looks like the crown lighting got taller?! https://www.youtube.com/live/PSpuVt_t5ng?feature=share
