Is this such a bad thing? The burn means you're not only getting to where you need to go but getting some *actual* exercise doing so. I've biked the bridge and a person of just average fitness at any age should be able to do it easily at their own speed. And if you do it enough times it'll only...

I don't get this. Why does it have to be all or nothing? DZ, I think your skyline shots are great but they don't add a ton of value to individual project threads, even using optical zoom. That's not a criticism, that's just an opinion that many members on here share. Why not just post the...

First thought that crossed my mind when I read this was "dear lord let this be the end of that awful lab proposed for the Greenway-facing parcel of the Govt Center Garage." Rarely have I wanted a development to die more than that one... fingers crossed!

The vast majority of bikeshare users are locals, not tourists.

I'm a fan. I actually think a lot of us on here are, but ArchBoston is kind of like Yelp... the haters rush to post, those who appreciate the building do so silently. If you're reading this Howeler+Yoon, thanks for brining some architectural creativity to our woefully dull collection of...

Agreed. I'm a big supporter of Mayor Wu but am disappointed that she hasn't tried to resolve this with an actually forward-thinking solution: pedestrianize Hanover St. Residents are right that outdoor dining has made the tiny sidewalks on Hanover difficult to navigate, so close it to traffic...

Wow, COVID did Boston's skyline such a massive favor by forcing MP to cut down the second wing. This thing would have been an absolute monstrosity had that design moved forward.

The arrogance to actually think you're smarter than Mayor Wu because what.. you post on the internet a lot? And she's a woman? Grow up if you want people to take you seriously.

Mayor Wu and Governor Walsh could be a perfect match for Boston. Someone young and bold enough to push a progressive urban design, transportation, housing, and placemaking agenda (no, not a new tallest, who cares) in City Hall, and someone on Beacon Hill who knows all the state bureaucratic...

It's absolutely bizarre that better connecting your state's middling cities to one of the most dynamic global economic centers is considered at all controversial or "hot-button." I'm not even talking as a transit-enthusiast, this is just meat and potatoes business attraction and retention.

Seems pretty straightforward to widen the gaps as needed, no?

Ok that's a huge insult... to Detroit. Michigan Central Station, even abandoned, is in an entirely different league.

Maybe it's me but I'm just not that worked up about this. Don't like the move from a purely process standpoint, but the tower itself really wasn't that great if we're being honest..

Pretty amazing. For someone who left the city in, say, 2015, would they even be able to recognize this picture as Boston?

This scene could really use some trees...

So what's stopping Amtrak from running half of NE Regionals via Hartford-Springfield-Worcester and the other half via New London-Providence? I know there has to be a good reason because to me it seems so obvious.. Electrification costs? ROW capacity? The price tag/obstacles must be really...

Lol look who they rendered into the Jersey St. winter scene...

A round of applause for everyone currently contributing to this thread. Posters who aren't as well-versed in the intricacies of transit planning aren't being shut down or ridiculed, but rather encouraged and given constructive feedback. The level of care and detail and respect here makes for a...

Wow. I remain a fan of the take-a-risk design approach that BU went for here, but I admit these pictures make me a tiny bit nervous. This building will be stunningly prominent, really hope the risk pans out...

Wow. I'm glad Lynn is increasingly being featured in photos on this forum, the more I see of it the more impressed I am. The public murals, historic downtown building stock, coastline... does anyone have a good sense of what the real estate market is like there? I would think this is one of the...
