There was a huge flap about the traffic the casino would generate and while it added some, I haven't noticed a huge difference. MLS games are played on Saturday evenings around 7.30 (and some wednesday evenings) There'll be no significant added parking built. There'll be pedestrian access to...

1- The stadium design has not been released yet 2- Form is temporary 3- The league has its issues but it's only growing. And it doesn't really matter how good or bad the Revs are or MLS is. The only question is 'will they attract 25k fans on a regular basis; and the answer is 'yes'

True. Gilman square just seems like a wasted opportunity but I think the holmes (sp?) that was demolished was vacant anyway (and structurally questionable) I know there was no architectural merit to the low rise block savmor was on but at least there was some life there. Same with cobble hill...

So theres no incentive for them to do anything other than maintain their hole in the ground? They move out businesses and put in a hole and then just figure the markets not right, hole it is! This kinda crap really annoys me and seems to happen around the less desirable parts of Somerville way...

With a Jumbotron for witty banter. seriously tho are there any consequences for mothballing a project like this?

I'm all for trees but these look very strange. Where do the roots go? How tall do they get? This whole picture is odd. It's like someone said "right, we've 5 mins left, how can we breathe some life in to the back of the building?"

Location and potential.

Shame about this design. Looks cheap and boring, could be over in Assembly or anywhere really. It's also the gateway to CX from the T.

This, that island is perfect for an iconic sculpture. Might get a bit more abstract than the MOS example but the idea is right.

Ha, I was biking down the other side of the street on the path with my 5yo on the bike the other day and he asks 'what are those bendy poles'. I glanced over and first thing I saw were bike racks so thats what I told him. On the way back we both saw them and He said they must be for huge bikes...

When it's open it's efficient. But yeah, not reliable. Now there's the new bridge beside it. Still fail to see the point in not using the dam for this purpose at least till the ped bridge is built. Strikes me as a case of "computer says no".

Yup. This has always baffled me. If bikes can go over the Charles river locks, why not on the Mystic?

yea, really thought we'd seen the last of UHaul's proposal. Apparently not. Wonder why they kept such poor care of their existing operation if they knew they were going to apply again. East somerville is my closest T station and tho I love the new service, a cant imagine a more VE'd station...

I dunno, I find Sullivan square on a bike terrifying.

I think the girl in the kayak is laughing at all the boats under full sale so close to the shore! The renderings are pretty awful, lets hope they're just place holders till an adult has a go. Good to see this moving tho.

yea, now I dont even cut through stop n Shop. I just go through that new little park at the end of Cross st. The Kensington Underpass is still a mess. I cant believe who ever the powers that be are didnt make the developers of the tower on the Assembly side, pay to have it cleaned up and...

love it!

keeping the three smoke stacks and incorporating them in to the stadium would make it instantly iconic. Otherwise it'll just be another 25k MLS stadium.

what idiot gave permission for this?

the thing is, at the moment 'anything, anywhere' is far more generic and less unique than this. I like it. The old one was interesting but stuck out like a sore thumb and was terrible at street level. This works much better, especially considering it's on the line of 2 or 3 story residential...
