Should airlines be barred from charging more for a popular departure times between the same two cities? Should movie theaters not give discounts on weekdays? Should ski resorts not have different levels of season passes with different blackout dates? They're all congestion charges, smoothing out...

All Memorial Drive lanes, both directions, should be placed into the current footprint of the Memorial Drive Westbound lanes. It really wouldn't be that complex at all. More prime park space per dollar than trying to solve the Storrow Drive mess.

I'm in awe of the Seaport lately, and I'm sad Menino isn't here to see it. I was highly critical of Menino and his BRA, I was highly critical of the Seaport's planning, and I'm still a bit critical of some major elements today even as things take shape. But even if not perfect, it is still...

I had no idea this was going on until I went by yesterday. I thought that Station Landing was "built out" and staying as-is. I am glad to see a parking lot being infilled. Hopefully they do some more of this.

View yesterday from the Public Storage building.

Changing how taxes are collected and spent =/= raising taxes. The gas tax should be eliminated entirely, unless we want to keep around some sort of nominal gas tax that will kick some funding into environmental initiatives. But the gas tax is completely broken as a way of funding roads, and will...

Hundreds of new apartments approved in Lawrence Three projects pass Planning Board https://www.eagletribune.com/news/merrimack_valley/hundreds-of-new-apartments-approved-in-lawrence/article_1309289b-7cdb-557a-a60e-d6a6071d5cf5.html#utm_campaign=blox&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social

I don't have an answer, but from what I understand the contractor went belly-up and a new contractor is trying to quickly take over the reigns.

This was actually my attempt at avoiding a circumferential routing. This is just supposed to be part of expanding the hub-and-spoke system into a grid, hitting job centers while adding a spoke on the north side of the harbor. A circumferential routing should be further out. That's why I was...

Not understanding the disconnect here. I think this is a perfect example of where a gondola actually works. Marina Bay has hundreds of units, some retail, restaurants, bars, and room for plenty more units. Everyone at Marina Bay or Squantum has to head south in the opposite direction of Boston...

Gondola from JFK/UMass to Marina Bay to Squantum. One of exceedingly few routes where gondolas make sense.

North to South: Station Name (Center Point) - ??? (Broadway @ Malden St & Revere St) - Revere (Broadway @ Park Ave) - Webster (Broadway @ Webster Ave) - Chelsea (Broadway @ City Hall Ave) - Winnisimmet (Broadway @ Williams St) - Monument (Bunker Hill St @ Monument St) - Community College (Austin...

Marblehead—Salem bus route (shown in orange, via Lafayette). How does this not exist?

Just to clear something up, Plate F does not require any additional attention for width, only height. The most recent Pan Am moves to Boston which required some attention to width were some scrap gondolas that were so beat up that the sides of the gondolas were bowed out. Even on the Freight...

Love this little car-free court in Lawrence. It is near the Common, downtown. Good looking houses, but the court looks a little forlorn these days. https://goo.gl/maps/YJbhXB49uv7RxPQB8

Night Shift Lovejoy Wharf, Wednesday, December 11 or December 18, at 6pm. How does this sound?

We need more rooftop stuff. I demand to play minigolf or shuffleboard on the roof of One Beacon. In the winter they can have curling. What else are they doing with that space up there? Nothing.

I was figuring that extending it to Readville might be a bit too duplicative of future Dorchester Branch services, but the idea of possibly extending it to Dedham from there is intriguing. Somehow I don't think I ever considered RLX Dedham before, only OLX Dedham. Roslindale to Mattapan and...

I'd say take the Red Line even further than Mattapan Square. Keep 'er goin' right into Roslindale Square with a transfer to an Orange Line extension there. Build an elevated over Cummins Highway.

Crazy highway pitch: calculate our current general-purpose highway lane miles and pass legislation to freeze it. The only way to add general-purpose highway lane miles would be to either remove them elsewhere, or convert general-purpose lanes elsewhere to HOV lanes.
