Curious if you could qualify what constitutes a nice thing here... There are some good projects going up in NY and elsewhere that force some jealousy out of me, but NYC can have this one...

Would requesting the project budget breakdown be an FOIA request?

They are leasing office space in various downtown office buildings.

^Lowell's quite grey in the off-months, and those buildings rendered are a lot of grey. Hopefully they get a splash of color in the next year.

Yes, these costs are high. However, note the presentation is specific about the scope in that these are full accessibility upgrades, specifically noting appropriate vertical circulation. In some cases this could mean at least 2 elevators, extensive ramps and extensive stairs squeezed within the...

I haven't personally been, but a friend went and had those exact complaints. It's definitely a temporary stage for a few extra hundred thousand in the meantime. They showed up and were confused where they were supposed to go (turns out - just stand in the mud), then they couldn't really see the...

Is there a term for the mechanical-esque/high-tech style ceiling design?

The people that would be meaningfully contributing a substantial amount of revenue to the state though this tax do not care about pavement quality.

Chances are if they're putting out a bid, they'll hit ADA upgrade requirements, so yes.

Hynes Station is listed as a 2025 construction bid on the MBTA business center website under upcoming construction advertisements.

It doesn't help that their husband flips houses here....

It doesn't look like they listened to the city from the last proposal, so hopefully this once again goes back to the drawing board. Somerville has been dragging their feet on planning around the new stops. They were floating a 5-year development moratorium at Ball Square despite no publicly...

That's a really interesting installation method... Also, I'm coming to like this building in it's form; the facade could be a step up. Something about how shiny it is when you walk by really cheapens it. A matte finish would give a more solid and "natural" look. I also still wish it was green...

T estimate is $4.5B for facilities. Arborway 15% cost estimate for construction was $495M, subject to change at this stage, but they're on track for that $4.5B mark.

Tough to hire and train a population (Springfield area) that doesn't have a recent history/talent for manufacturing. Our state legislature mandated they're assembled here without considering the consequences (or they did, and didn't care). They were also disqualified from bidding by the MBTA...

This might be part of the reason they went with Related/DREAM. They have access to deeper pockets and could be more reliable in getting something out of the ground. Fewer submissions/proposals would prompt me as an owner to select the most stable looking one.

It's that there are less kids. The end of the boomer's generation of kids are finishing up college and high school currently. I brought this up before on here and was dismissed as there's this perception the Boston schools are too good and are immune from be a drop in the number of kids going...

Related to the Union Square branch, they have been having a hell of a time with signal problems there the past few weeks. There have been a good number of extended service delays, and they suspended service today with no shuttle service apart from the 87, and suspended service and shuttled...

Hmm, doesn't look like much progress since February...
