I don't know about eliminating any categories because there are only eight of them. I would actually like to propose adding two categories if we start doing the awards again, Best Urbanist Policy and Worst Urbanist Policy, to cover things like Late Night T Service or Removal of Gas Tax Indexing...

Re: Extension of the Red line to Brockton Fair grounds? If Baseball and Softball get placed back in the Olympics they would be played in the same venue, which would most likely be Fenway Park and the Red Sox would have to take a real long road trip. As for the Red Line, I think that Braintree...

I think that a direct route for Lynn (and eventually Salem) is more beneficial than covering the northern fringes of Revere. There is also a lot more TOD potential in southern Lynn near the proposed right of way than what would be made available by redeveloping anything on the edge of the Rumney...

Beach Volleyball is slated for Boston Common but regular Volleyball is absent. I suppose that it could be held in one of the venues already listed like the Garden or Conti Forum but if they are already proposing sports for those venues it probably would have already been mentioned along with...

Looking at the map of proposed venues, the two most conspicuous sports missing are tennis and volleyball. Boston doesn't have any tennis venues and would likely not need any. I figure that putting tennis in New Haven would be most practical. Also conspicuously absent as far as venues go, the...

Hold onto your butts.

If they aren't announcing an extension to West Medford then they are wasting their time.

To be fair Boston is also the only city out of those four that is going to have a notable opposition. San Francisco and DC don't have serious bids to protest. I mean, if San Francisco had anyone legitimately pushing a bid like John Fish then there would probably be a larger opposition group than...

I voted for Red-Blue. If you'e only playing with a few billion then I doubt that whatever parts of Urban Ring you'd be able to complete would have as much of an impact.

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos Wow, maybe the MBTA needs new infrastructure and equipment? But if that were the case, surely someone in state government would address the issue so no need to be alarmed.

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium The parking lot in between the stadium and West 4th Street needs to go. There should be a few blocks of development there at least as tall as the stadium. Building there would make the walk from the South End or Broadway much more manageable and...

So where would the new MassDOT building go?

So I suppose every Northeastern dorm from now on will have village in its name.

Re: The Boston Arch (Aquarium parking garage) I don't think the city has the luxury to stall projects until developers propose buildings that can be considered pretty enough. That would discourage people from trying to build developments in the city and there is a dire need for both shifting...

Dave and Busters is tacky and there are plenty of bars along this stretch already. I think that something like Dave and Busters would also be a poor fit for this last rendering in particular as their aesthetics would clash.

Dave and Busters belongs in the suburbs.

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport Actually I prefer Nintendo 64.

Sometimes it's good to have infrastructure that looks nice. It makes the city a more enjoyable place to be!

The Curry Student Center is located in the middle of campus and has a bunch of food options and Rebecca's Cafe is also near there and accepts meal plans. While there is demand among students for food, I'm not sure if there is specific demand for another dining hall. I'd say that the real blind...

It seems like the canal thing from a little while back is still chugging along. I noticed this article from the BBC which also includes a handy graphic which I haven't seen before. A couple of differences here from when I read about this a while back is the presence of water in the Mass Pike...
