I wish it had some more interesting design features, but it's pretty clear to me they changed the design to contrast with 55 India next door (and thus why they include it in all their renders).

Re: Tremont Crossing in Roxbury Do you know this for a fact? Or do you think that it is going that way? They don't seem to have any problem selling seats now, and I don't know that they would want per screen revenue to go down just to get the latest style of seating.

Re: Tremont Crossing in Roxbury Fear not! That is exactly what is intended.

Re: Tremont Crossing in Roxbury New impact report posted http://www.bostonredevelopmentauthority.org/getattachment/4aa79eac-d87e-49be-bb8a-b3661105dd6a Big news is BJ's, a regal cinema, and the developers funding a new National Center of Afro-American Artists. Yet another transit...

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett I mean if part of the settlement could go towards GLX, that would be great.

Cantilevered buildings are perfectly safe, it's just a psychological thing. Well....as long as they do the wind load analysis properly.

I agree, 25 and 26 are doable easily. The areas to the east and west of 27 are pipe dreams though, especially without doing some sort of foundation on 27.

That Utile diagram makes no sense, if I was going to build on that area I'd use parcel 27 as the foundation of a building. Anything can be abated. Putting buildings to the sides of parcel 27 makes no sense. "We are going to build exclusively over tunnels and ramps, and not over any area that...

Having grown up in the area, this is exactly what I expected to happen.

Official opening March 26th. http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2016/02/02/government-center-station-reopen-march/tIKHdj60yTI0iRZq9vP9sK/story.html?p1=feature_sec_hp

IIRC you generally don't want to put a telescope on top of a tall building because tall buildings will sway in the wind, messing with your view.

I would agree with you, but that involves building a lot more track through very bad terrain. 2 only requires a new run between providence and hartford.

Do they have to replace the wire after a strike? Is it possible to build a conduit that can handle the current of a lightning strike?

So they are asking for public comment by the 15th, have at it people! My personal opinion is to just do alternative 2, 1 is a waste of money. http://www.necfuture.com/get_involved/

Here's a video WBZ did of a tour, nice view from the top floor terrace! http://www.msn.com/en-au/health/watch/web-extra-millennium-tower-video-tour/vp-BBoM9X3

Did traffic really drop that dramatically after 9/11? Maybe I'm too young to know, but what was the traffic like before then?

I wondered since the start of this, what were the projected headways for the union square branch? It seems like there would be relatively few trains going down that branch. Basically would it be quicker for someone to get on a shuttle train that is pinging between lechmere and union and then...

Whigh, my point is that the website specifically set up for the study that is linked from the BRA page no longer exists. The BRA page itself states that the last time there was any action on this site was almost a decade ago and that was to reject the only proposal they received. Basically...

From the BRA website Even the project website www.southbayplanningstudy.com doesn't seem to exist anymore. I realize once upon a time it was looked at for development but if you look at the current state of the site it is in a singularly shitty spot. Hemmed in on all sides by onramps. Pretty...
