@vanshnookenraggen I think most people in a City Hall Plaza discussion are aware of the existence of the Brattle Loop. What is being disassembled is some sort of large secondary tunnel on top of the GL, which seems to also veer off with access towards JFK. Obviously a train is not going through...

Last time I was in the cancer garden on the plaza, I was noticing the "SUBWAY EGRESS" hatch and very large grate. Someone took a Google photo sphere there. Looking down into the grate reveals a rectangular concrete room exactly that size, with a single access door I believe was on the gazebo...

I think the nearby Government Center Garage project is demonstrating a great example of how to creatively rehabilitate 1960s Urban Renewal Brutalism

Brown's Performing Arts Center: There will be a live webstream of the topping-off ceremony on Thursday, December 10th at 11am:

Your developable area is intriguingly compatible with Aaron Helfand's Master's Thesis: I'm less sympathetic than you are towards the entire plaza, including City Hall itself. It was all created in an act of urban destruction, and in my view has no more right to continue to exist in perpetuity...

I'm not really sure about the best place to post this, but I came across the Transit Forward RI 2040 Master Plan that was released this August, and saw the following: This is listed as a "Short-Term Improvement", "close to launching", and in the "1 to 4 years" project list. I'm assuming...

No, it definitely looks different. For instance, the Plaza was always lacking a wall saying "R&B sound POP JAZZ NOiSe"

I hadn't read this anywhere previously, but disappointingly - at the BPDA meeting last night to discuss Chinatown Parcel R-1, it was stated that due to the Winthrop Center redesign that shortened the second tower and reduced unit number, Millennium's payments for P-12 were decreasing as a result...

Upcoming discussion on Parcel R-1, behind the majestic art-deco 75 Kneeland Street

There have been a few similar proposals that involved demolition of the overpass. This 2015 Massachusetts Turnpike Boston Ramps and Bowker Overpass Study essentially diverts the overpass to the ramps connected to Comm Ave, and then uses Charlesgate E/W to connect to Storrow: However, they...

The Brown Daily Herald: Marston Boathouse Renewal and Performing Arts Center construction stay on track despite concerns over materials The Brown Daily Herald: Wellness Center and Residence Hall construction expedited for summer 2021 occupancy

Terrible photo from 93 & the Pike:

It also allows them to charge different models to balance load - i.e. the standard "out by 8am, in after 4pm" discount for those driving to work, freeing that space for park-and-riders at Riverside.

It's expertly manufactured by someone who has never seen and was only given the written description of a brick wall. "Red rectangles, stacked in a grid, got it."

Incredibly, at the time writing of the Transit App blog that ceo mentioned, it looks like both locations were rendered correctly on Google: vs now:

This appears to be rising vertically:

This is kind of silly, but does anyone know a good way to get Google to correct their transit line routings? I had submitted one request almost a year ago but nothing's come of it. For instance, between Tufts Medical Center and Back Bay, their Orange Line continues down Washington and loops at...

I know this is a bit of a tangent, but on that topic, you could absolutely get from the Harrison Ave bridge over the Pike to the Greenway, with minimal additional construction: Creating a footbridge from Harrison to the tip of the triangular "island", and then gently sloping down to grade...

PBN: I-195 district development continues through coronavirus pandemic Highlights: Aloft Hotel, adjacent to the Wexford Innovation Center/Point225: groundbreaking event canceled but construction has continued, site work is completed and the foundation is under construction. Parcel 30/Chestnut...

The Providence City Plan Commission approved construction of a 61-unit apartment building in Fox Point, replacing 99-101 Gano St. Per PBN: (Images from the PDF on the CPC website)
