I don't disagree, but there is a difference between responding to it and reporting on it. I think the journalists got played a bit on this one.

I'm really over people saying this report was "scathing" or "searing" or any other "s" words that end in "ing." The leaking of the report to the press in the days before its release focused on how poorly run the T was and how terrible the T employees are, but anyone who actually read the report...

I wish it was possible (and maybe it is?) to determine if this type of good press results in net new revenue generated once the loss of a day's farebox is taken into account.

How can it be a victory? if this doesn't get built, that's 76 less units of affordable housing, hundreds less units of housing in general keeping supply lower and demand higher.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Nicely done.

Someone referred to this as "The Fish Tank" on twitter, and I'm gonna go ahead and suggest that we make that nickname stick.

Plaza with roundabout. As a former Tufts grad student (any other UEP-ers on here?) I can attest to that intersection being miserable to cross. No safe crossings where you need them to be and cars fly through with the current road geometry.

This is it. It's the entire thing. Nowhere does it say "Summary" or "More info to follow."

I don't disagree, but my guess is this report is going to lean far, far away form calling for a balance between reforms and revenue.

I for one am relieved to hear that if we stick to front door only boarding and cut down on what must thousands of daily fare evaders, we'll have the $6.7 billion we need to fix the system.

This might be my favorite of the bunch, though I am excited for the conversion underway on Tremont as well.

There is one in Brookline, on Freeman Street near the corner of Freeman and Pleasant that you can't tell is converted from the outside at all.

Anybody have a rough, back-of-the-envelope kind of estimate on cost for this idea?

Re: Quaker Lane/Congress Square | Downtown Those fire escapes are so sexy.

It's best as hyperloop.

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come. Protected lanes, pedestrian islands, even that little extra bit to make sure cars slow down. Amazing stuff.

Where on Harrison is this church?

I agree it has to go either one way or the other. If we want green space, then leave the environs open. If we want a European style, very active piazza, then close it in with very active uses. But we can't have both.

Re: Government Center How many times has a Mayor said we need to reimagine City Hall Plaza? Ad what has ever come out of it besides some renderings?

From the article: He is form Quincy. It boggles the mind that he can be that out of touch with what his constituents needs are.
