This plan looks great, and it would spur redevelopment of the Watertown mall

Re: Volpe Transportation Center Development Cambridge I was under the impression that because the Volpe is federal land they aren't subject to zoning anyway, and that the GSA is complying with Cambridge's zoning as a courtesy, not because they are legally required to.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Well it would have helped if the BRA had realized earlier that because they didn't actually own the site they can't really legally start the development process. The BRA messed up here, and they continued to mess up...

So that leaves only the third floor retail on the tower side, and the small storefront on the Washington st. side left to lease. Unless by "first floor" they mean the entrance and escalator up to the second floor. In which case the first floor is still open.

That corner at Franklin and Washington will be one retailer, but the floors above should be different retail stores with their own signage/presence. If you look at http://www.mtbretail.com/ you can see the retail footprint. There will be at least 3 storefronts across Washington st. (possible...

The mission side has a restaurant with a fairly uninspired menu (mainly focused on the business lunch crowd I think) and a bank. So there is very little activation there. I realized this was completed in 2009, but it really is going to be considered a travesty once the sales force tower opens...

I just got back from San Francisco and happened to look at the Millennium Tower there (built by the same developers) and this is miles ahead of it in terms of street activation and presence.

Re: Mandarin Oriental | 776 Boylston St | Back Bay More like the could not find them at the wages they were used to paying. Wages went up after the war and running a large house like that got rather expensive.

Re: A theoretical Grand Prix of Boston First of all, that curb is going bye bye, otherwise there are going to be some terrible accidents in there. Secondly, I am really happy with the course. By using the massport haul rd as much as they do they keep summer street open for traffic. That and...

There is a lot of BS in that article especially this line Bridges don't have to open immediately on request. For railroad bridges the railroad schedule takes priority, and if you are on a boat you are going to be waiting. There are plenty of vehicle bridges in busy areas that rely on a set...

My god, it's beautiful. Can an admin put that sucker across the top of the site? Maybe just for a week. That is both a perfect satire of this thread and this site in general.

It's just another form of mixed use really. You can have residences and offices in the same building. You can also have luxury residences and regular residences in the same building. The luxury residences have more amenities to justify their cost, thus the separate lobby ect.

The ropewalk developer received an extension yesterday. http://www.universalhub.com/2015/bra-wants-borrow-clean-charlestown-navy-yard-would Also, the BRA wants to clean up the site itself and then pay for it through tax revenue.

If Amtrak has a feed of the speed from the train itself, wouldn't a trivial amount of software be able to compare the speed to an allowable speed map? Then you could sound an alarm in the control center or the cab itself?
