Back on thread topic, one of the empty storefronts on Pleasant Street (is that the Durgin Garage?) has a building permit in it. Couldn't tell form looknig at it what was happening. Anyone have any info?

Re: Pier 4 Residential Tower | 136-146 Northern Avenue | Seaport Can someone remind me what the planned uses are for each of the 3 buildings? Is it all condos? Some rentals?

Pretty pretty please can we rebuild these two structures? Making the Fort Point Channel a unique space should be focused as much on activting the channel itself as the area along the edge.

It'll only take that long if there's money to do it. And right now there isn't.

Please dear god someone stop the from opening the Northern Ave. Bridge to cars. EDIT: Reading through the draft plan. it says "Thee Northern Avenue Bridge has the potential to become a model Complete Street. The renovation of this bridge could alleviate traffic congestion in South Boston and...

As a result of MassDOT endorsing NACTO? http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/04/05/starts-and-stops/mhOziSyQznrGK5hzHpHU7M/story.html

Re: North-South Rail Link The bond bill includes a couple million dollars to update the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the right of way for NSRL. It basically ensures that if a few billion were to fall from the heavens, and we decided we didn't want to spend it on other projects, this...

I always thought Tremont along the Common would be a great spot for this, form Park Street to Boylston. You have the 43, 55, and SL5 that all run that same stretch.

I'd love to see the DTX pedestrian zone expanded to included Temple Place, while allowing for the Silver Line to keep operating there. Temple Place has some great food options, and I think a ped zone with some nice big outdoor seating areas would do wonders.

Great image of an old sign uncovered as part of the demolition work. Sounds like they are going to try and keep it as they rebuild. http://www.universalhub.com/2014/dunkin-donuts-reduced-pile-rubble I wish the t would bring back this aesthetic system-wide.

Re: I-90 Interchange Improvement Project (Allston) Can you elaborate as to why? Do they just not like left-hand ramps? As long as they are well-signed, I've never had a problem using them elsewhere.

Street prostitution is good urban planning.

Re: Public Food Market Mercato Central in Florence isn't much to look at, either inside or outside, but I still love the feel of its interior. Busy, packed with people, tons of options.

Re: Public Food Market Yeah, I looooooooove those lights. Same color as the Union Oyster House sign, too.

How do they track this kinda thing? Does it count as a visit if I am just strolling by? Do I need to stop and do something?

Articles like this drive me INSANE. http://bostinno.streetwise.co/2014/03/18/mbta-government-center-station-construction-schedule-1/ Five people died building the Empire State Building, so I guess we should push the schedule to 6 months and then not complain if we lose a couple of workers. I...

I think I want this more than the Urban Ring. I want you to be able to look around and automatically know "Oh, that's a T station" just by the design. I knowwwwwwww there's better things for good money to be spent on, but a guy can dream that some day the T will have enough money to take things...

An interesting article on the branding of transit. http://www.theatlanticcities.com/commute/2014/03/how-design-can-help-build-transit-culture/8633/ I'd love to see the T get some consistency across the system - not necessarily in terms of design within the station, but for the headhouses. If I...
