The NIMBY's were right. Development does lead to awful things.

If you want to play the People Should Pay For What They Use game then drivers will owe non drivers billions of dollars. So that is fine with me. As a non driver I would be getting back thousands of my tax dollars. Making the path more dangerous to save money is ridiculous. They would never do...

I will be there when the pedestrian bridge opens. Pedestrians get decent infrastructure in the Boston area once every few decades so gotta appreciate it when it happens.

Its not on a quiet street considering the fact that train tracks for the orange line, commuter rail and amtrak are mere feet away. I'll take this project over another boring box of a building any day. Plus, revenue from this project will help to subsidize an eight-unit affordable-housing project...

Re: The Whitney Hotel (née John Jeffries House) | 142-170 Charles Street | Beacon Hil Well, jars are curved glass.

A congestion toll is not "unfair" to people who choose to commute by car. What is unfair is the billions drivers have taken out of the pockets of non drivers. What is unfair are the pedestrians run down in crosswalks by drivers. What is unfair are suburbanites driving into Boston and spewing...

Her estimate wasn't ridiculous if Millennium agreed to pay up. The ridiculous estimate was by the BRA. Their stupidity nearly cost the city tens of millions of dollars. I'm not sure why you are mad that Shirley helped to make sure the taxpayers of Boston weren't screwed over.

Agreed. Spending billions just to put surface roads over the highway is so dumb. The Greenway would be so much better if there weren't streets on both sides and other streets cutting through the park every block. Drivers have taken enough money and land in this city and state. Time to start...

Just put some racing stripes on it.

Plus these lazy, selfish cops park in the grass across the street as you can see in the overhead picture you posted. It looks disgusting because they rip up the grass. Boston cops do not give a damn about drivers breaking laws because they are criminal drivers themselves. They could save lives...

Then we should triple the gas tax. Make people who use the road actually pay for it. It'll still be cheaper than most advanced countries.

Then the gas tax should be tripled immediately to make up for all the decades it wasn't raised. But that won't happen. Only the responsible people have to pay up. The drivers who are killing others and ruining the planet don't pay more, they just get more welfare.

BPDA director Brian Golden: Is so corrupt and incompetent that he tried to give away city owned land for practically nothing. If it was up to him he would have cost the taxpayers of Boston about $130 million dollars. Shirley Kressel: Pointed out how corrupt and incompetent Brian Golden is...

The BRA was going to give the land away for a measly $25 million before Shirley Kressel and others shined a light on their corruption and incompetence. Now the city is getting $100+ million more. So I guess you are a fan of corporate greed and taxpayers getting screwed over?

Your post has so many bad examples. You know what America needs more of? More angry people driving! Go for a damn walk instead. Its healthier for everyone. How many marriages are ended by a driver killing someone's spouse? People spread diseases on the subway? Its adorable how you ignore that...

Having drivers actually pay for the roads they use and the pollution and destruction they cause isn't punishing them. It is making them pay for what they are using after getting it for practically free for decades. Why should Bostonians have to just deal with the noise and air pollution suburban...

Meanwhile drivers are paying less in gas tax every year. There is no more spoiled group in the world than American drivers. Its like this country gets hard from destroying the planet and American drivers killing 30,000+ people per year.

They just started renovating the 33 Arch lobby last week. Its gonna be a PITA for the next few months with one of the entrances closed. Hopefully there will be retail in the lobby when done. Haven't even been able to get a cup of coffee here for many months.

The city of Boston loves to add to the commutes of pedestrians and T users. Close a sidewalk for a couple years? Sure! Board up that T exit? No biggie. Shovel the sidewalk on a bridge? Not likely. That 3 minutes adds up to hours over the year. They would never do that to drivers. They treat them...

Gas taxes are being decreased thanks to inflation and more fuel efficient vehicles. If drivers want to play the "who gets subsidized more" game, they will come out losers every time. Its obnoxious when drivers, who take billions away from non drivers and kill 30,000+ Americans every year, act...
