This is definitely the ideal solution. Now if only we could get electrification throughout the system (or on major lines at least) to make it possible for our commuter trains to use more tunnels.

Re: North-South Rail Link There was a presentation over at the BSA Space this past Thursday. Gov. Dukakis, Andy Monat from TransitMatters and Brad Bellows RA were presenting about the tunnel as part of a new committee at the BSA called Infra/Tecture. It really was quite informative in what the...

Is this genuine shock? the nightclubs have been the biggest conversation point about this project thus far.

Barking Crab is another good option right in that area. Another option is we could also push the meetup one day and do it at the Boston Calling at Dewey Square.

Southbound traffic has been moved over to the newly constructed lane(s) just south of the Newton Highland exit. Was stuck in miserable traffic Thursday night there on the old road, and went through a few hours ago and all traffic had been shifted. Does anybody know if they are planning one of...

So I was looking around for the Electronic Tolling thread (checked within the 128 thread too) because I was curious about something I saw at the I-90 and the 128 interchange. I didn't realize that part of that project was new ramps connecting the two highways. I saw some formed concrete that...

Re: Parcel P-12 | Chinatown Too be fair, chinatowns across the country are probably ripe for gentrification due to slow development progress over the years. I know this forum has had plenty of discussion about bostons Chinatown gentrification. The longtime residents are worried about being...

I feel like this thing has absolutely flown!! Once they started popping up floors it's like bam bam bam!

Re: Parcel P-12 | Chinatown I actually forgot to mention two things. The BPDA owns this land, and they are not looking to sell it like the 115 Winthrop Project. Whatever project goes here it is almost guaranteed to be a ground lease with the BPDA. Also, public subsidies would be included in...

Re: Parcel P-12 | Chinatown So i have been meaning to write a brief synopsis about the last meeting for this parcel.... - The community has requested that the site be maximized to its tallest height. Roughly it is zoned for about 100'0" below the FAA limit. - The turnout at the meeting was...

I was in Nashville last September, and am actually heading back down next month. While the severe lack of transit is a concerning point (i believe there are only 3 bus lines that operate to/from the core) I agree with Rifle that it is an incredible city. The Civic Design Center shows promise for...

I remember a proposal from awhile back about a TOD development either at Quincy center or north Quincy (or both). There was a post about the Quincy center garage coming down because of pending development. Am I crazy in remembering a North Quincy development that would replace the massive...

Re: Quincy Center redevelopment Great news!! Btw, there is a Quincy redevelopment thread already http://www.archboston.org/community/showthread.php?t=2768&page=14&highlight=Quincy+TOD

Yesterday I was walking down Washington street and happened to stop and ask a couple construction workers what they were working on at the old fro-zen-up storefront. Guess a place called "Dig Inn" is expanding their Boston footprint. Boston Eater reported it back in 9/2016, but I hadn't seen...

Re: SBWTC /South Boston Waterfront Transportation Center/Seaport/ S Boston Crazy! I figured that would alot deeper than this.

Again, part of the big city life. Section 8 housing allows people access to jobs not available elsewhere but still allows them to have manageable commutes, because we all know what a wonder commuting into the city be (via any mode of transport). Your rants are futile, do you even have any stats...

Just walked by old navy, not open yet but everything is all set and ready to go. Signs on the door don't indicate particular opening time but just say "opening soon"

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium So now we are getting a little far into the weeds on what the government should being doing. Federal law would have almost zero impact because the State could just override said law. Owners should not be asking for the money and states (or...

This is when Skanska will appear with 121 Seaport, but instead of Reebok's logo, the Amazon smile will appear at the top of the bulding

That's kinda what I figured... On a side note, its a great example why we need some form of buffer between bike lanes and traffic lanes because the trucks have completely taken it over. But I will try to save that derailment for the bike thread.
