Not sure if there is a more appropriate thread for this but I found a nice video on Boston Medflight's new helicopter including some nice shots of flying around the city and landing at the MGH helipad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS3FrKDLqR8

Imagine if Boston had arbitrary rules that increased the costs of this very crucial part of a restaurant's business. It would make it much harder to open and operate a restaurant in Boston vs. the suburbs. Wait......

How hard would it be to cut and cover the grand junction if you wanted to run some sort of rapid transit through it

My point is no construction can happen there without the consent of 33 Arch ownership in the first place because the two buildings are so entwined.

The owners of 33 Arch would have to be on board with whatever happens because they are deeded spots in that garage and the access to the garage is through 33 Arch. It would have to be a coordinated redevelopment that reduces the size of the garage or sinks it underground. I could imagine a 15-20...

They called out the Monday after getting back from Vegas? Shocking?

Maybe I'm pessimistic but I really don't think anything will ever be built on those parcels. There is very little in them that isn't highway or MBTA track. Parcel 10 would be almost impossible with charlesgate in the way and over the river.

Anyone know when phase II will start? The most exciting thing about this is going to be watching the bulk of the garage come down.

So I was playing around on Instagram today and found these. Ever want to know what the view is from the window washing crane at the top of Millenium tower? https://www.instagram.com/p/Bk6Zb3Fn__d/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/BlVbbU8Aixg/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I didn't realize there were going to be escalators here, the rendering had stairs. Anyone know the reliability of an escalator for a 0 degree winter night? lol

The main draw for this would be tourists in the downtown hotels.

Ok that's really nice.

So much for the BCDC forcing them to design something for people with eyes.

Re: Whiskey Priest/Atlantic Beer Garden Redevelopment | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport The CLF was so asinine in this case, this project is tearing down a non-compliant building and replacing it with one that expands access to the waterfront. It should have been aligned with the CLF's goals, but...

The dirt ended up being shipped across the country...

Looks like there will be a bit more data on Hydrogen in the near future. The UK is starting to convert trains and is looking at using Hydrogen to replace diesel trains on the 50% of its' network that isn't electrified.

Hey Data, Were hydrogen powered EMUs something you looked at for lines that aren't currently electrified? Is there not enough data to guage their cost performance vs electrification with straight EMUs?

Non Tesla-Frankenstein Battery trains do exist. The UK ran a trial in 2015. https://www.railmagazine.com/news/network/2015/01/13/battery-powered-electrostar-enters-traffic So based on that performance, I don't see them replacing the commuter rail trains any time soon. Hydrogen is probably a...
