    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos I thought that T had a "dead man's lever" or whatever it's called. Shouldn't it be impossible for the train to run on its own?

    🔹 What's Happening With Project X?

    Is the former Merano project actually under construction now? The BRA says it is, but can anyone tell me if they see any activity at the site? http://www.bostonredevelopmentauthority.org/projects/development-projects/parcels-1b-and-1c-bulfinch-triangle

    Maynard MA Development

    I don't live in Maynard, nor have I spend much time in the town but this development intrigued me. https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2015/11/30/maynard-hoping-for-downtown-renaissance/XQKI5mAyTAyZR5J0iN1fPM/story.html I hope more towns can create better downtowns and get away from the...

    Assembly Sq <-> Casino Footbridge

    I hope he's just saying that with the hopes of getting it built at no expense to the city. If not, he just seems like a sore loser.

    The Beverly (née Merano) (Parcels 1B & 1C) | Bulfinch Triangle | West End

    Re: The Merano (Parcels 1B & 1C) | Bulfinch Triangle | West End http://www.bostonredevelopmentauthority.org/getattachment/38837e14-da35-4436-a894-8e537f6f392e Page 27 of their documents submitted to the BRA say that it will start construction in December. Hopefully they'll follow through...

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    Hello Jeff... There needs to be some sort of color coding or number/letter designation or it becomes too confusing. Let me give you an example that we have here in Kuala Lumpur. Currently we have two "LRT" lines. One line is called the "Kelana Jaya Line". Of course that line terminates on...

    America has never seen so few empty hotel rooms

    http://www.vox.com/2015/11/2/9657978/hotel-vacancy-rate This is a good article about the fact that America's hotel occupancy rate is higher than ever. I can only assume it's even higher in places like Boston and NYC.

    Some shots in Kazakhstan

    You'd be surprised, but Almaty has some sections that actually do look a little bit like Boston. They kind of look like a poor man's brownstone. I thought I was crazy when I thought that, but later on I met the Malaysian ambassador to Kazakhstan (he had previously been placed in NY and told me...

    Boston's Performing Arts and Theater Scene: Past, Present, and Future

    Re: Emerson's Continued Destruction of Downtown Boston At first I thought you were being hyperbolic, but holy shit! They can't be allowed to do that to the Colonial Theatre.

    BHA Charlestown/Bunker Hill Redevelopment | Charlestown

    As a rule, I support this change. I think it will make for a more vibrant and peaceful neighborhood. However, does the city really need more $2600 one and two bedroom apartments? What about basic 2-3 bedroom apartments for less than $2000? That way you can bring in more working class...

    Public Food Market | 136 Blackstone Street | Haymarket | Downtown

    For those of us who can't get to the new market, here's a good Chronicle piece on it: http://www.wcvb.com/chronicle/first-in-the-nation-bostons-indoor-farmers-market/34982502

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End I like the old residential tower but the new office tower. Let's give it time and see what happens before we lose the plot. The base is going to be built first and I'm sure the renders for the towers will change a few times.

    I never eat at McDonalds when I'm back in the States, but I go there once a week in Malaysia. Sometimes I just need to get away from the local food.

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End Wouldn't it be cool if that entire entry way was full of bars and night clubs?

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I can't imagine them cancelling the whole thing. We might just end up with a shorter extension.

    42 Lomasney Way

    It's a tenement, not the Roman Coliseum. I'm all for keeping it for now, but if something better can be built to help improve an area of the city that is painfully vapid, I won't cry myself to sleep over losing this building. The damage was done years ago and modern (and progressive)...
