This isn't the worst building that could be put here, and it is of course better than a garage; however, this building is uninspired and far too short for this location.

More like, Science Park..ing Lot! It's a real shame that the Charles riverfront belongs to the cars. This area really deserves to do a lot better of a job for pedestrians considering that it's the intersection of a popular greenspace (Esplanade), a popular institution (Museum of Science), and a...

The rest of this guy's buildings are hideous but for some reason I don't mind this one. Build it.

Yes I was thinking of Churchill Hall, where there was a nice quiet eatery before it got turned into a Rebecca's. Used to be the best secret on campus.

I did, I went to Northeastern! The larger point though is that Northeastern could put retail in any building it chooses. They're making a point of putting retail in the buildings planned to replace the Cabot Gym, they could have put something on Columbus there if they wanted.

There is no reason why an academic building cannot have retail. Ryder Hall is an academic building and it has retail, and Cunningham Hall used to have retail before it got turned into a more traditional dining hall.

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium Any transportation benefit brought about by people pods could be easily replicated, if not bettered, by a few hubway stations and a reconfiguring of Kosciuszko Circle.

Re: Government Center Redesign Clearly, there is no saving of City Hall Plaza. Just bring back Scollay Square, put in a bunch of dense Blackstone Block sized buildings and zone the area for nightclubs and bars.

Whenever I think of the Blue Line Extension I always picture the route that doesn't go through Point of Pines by default, and I assume that most others do as well because of the noted ROW issues. I don't see there being project-stalling opposition from just Oak Island, so I too am confused why...

Gentrification has a lot of benefits, and NU will benefit the neighborhood by constructing new buildings and bringing in new retail. Gentrification also has a lot of drawbacks, which is why Tito Jackson is putting up a defense for the neighborhood (his constituents). You might figure that...

The beef is, and always has been, that Northeastern is slowly creeping into Roxbury. It isn't an illegitimate complaint; the train tracks and then Columbus Avenue used to be barriers but now Northeastern is creeping towards Tremont Street and that affects the neighborhood.

Re: City Hall Plaza Polar Bar / City Bistro This looks low effort. Just like all the other City Hall Plaza proposals!

The Museum of Science is in both Boston and Cambridge. There is a marker in the lobby that shows you the border between the two cities.

I'm pretty tired of every thread on the MBTA devolving into an argument about unions. There are plenty of other issues with the MBTA and transit projects that do not get much play elsewhere that get discussed here, which makes this a valuable little corner of the internet. If I wanted to read...

If this race results in roads being widened and bicycle tracks and lanes being disappeared then it should be stopped.

Don't know why we would just get rid of transit access near Broadway Station. If people want a rapid transit solution for the Seaport the myriad of Green Line extension plans are more realistic and would result in better coverage for everyone.

Transportation funding, particularly from sources like RMV fees and the gas tax, are not going to be cordoned off and remain in their own regions. Although Western Mass complains constantly of "subsidizing the T" it really works the other way around and you would see a lot of regions in the...

I am hoping that the GE move doesn't put us back on track for opening the Northern Avenue bridge to automobile traffic.

Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End On the bright side, the tower on the right looks much better than originally proposed and that cage on the top adds a lot of character to what originally looked like a mini One Beacon Street. The podium still looks...
