Okay, I get it now. That means we can order an off-the-shelf Bombardier Movia to operate in America without any mods. Kinda like the ones in Toronto!

I have one question, why are all the subway cars in North America made of stainless steel, while the rest of the world uses aluminum? Is it some sort of safety thing?

Oh, I wish somebody like Richard Rogers designed that. And I hope the Waldorf Astoria opens its Boston location there one day!

For HarborTram, do you think an Alstom Citadis with ground-level power would work?

I like the Westin. I've stayed there a lot. It's cozy!

I thought putting a new Olympic size pool in that area would be a good idea!

691 Mass Avenue seems like a good choice.

Okay, we can put Piano on the backburner. Are you sure about Liberty Wharf and Atlantic Wharf?

The Greenway Ramp parcels are a good candidate to be on the list!

Is it safe to add Copley Place Tower to the list again? They're gonna be starting construction on it soon. Or have things changed.

How about Renzo Piano's renovation of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum? It'll be opening on January 19th, so that's a new development!

Off and running!

Re: Parcel 25 - Southern Gateway Please have Norman Foster and Jean Nouvel plan and design it, like Central Park in Sydney. While we're at it, let's knock down the U.S. postal service building adjacent to South Station and build an extension to it, in a new building styled like the old. We can...

Is it time for us to get started on the 2011 Archboston Awards?

Perhaps congestion pricing can be implemented! That would help establish more tramways.

My idea for Riverside heavy rail, as always, involves extending the E branch down Huntington Avenue in a tunnel, where it would make a connection to the D branch. As for the line from Prudential to North Station, I envision dropping the heavy rail tracks underneath the existing Green Line...

Aptly predicted!

So it will be coming for Boston, with Green Line and Blue Line first candidates. But they should add it to the Red Line before the Blue Line, due to the botched ATO. Perhaps if an infrastructure spending bill is passed in this Congress to help the economy, then maybe we'll see CBTC sooner than...

What type of CBTC system would they install on the D-Branch and when they're rebuilding the roadbed, do you think they should try to upgrade it to heavy rail?

That's what I'm thinking as well. Also want to extend the Blue Line out to Waltham. If they build an Island in the charles, like Cram proposed, we can extend the Blue Line from MGH, under the Charles to Cram's Island where it will have 2-3 stops, depending on the size of the island, then under...
