The Chinatown Community Land Trust has reached out to the Chinese Christian Church of New England (currently located on Beacon Street in Brookline) to explore the potential purchase of the remaining strip of parking lot, with the goal of developing it into a public green space for the particular...

It looks like that may be because it was once envisioned to be so:

Wasting no time getting structural steel up, starting at the Harrison Ave side:

Big crane assembled on site!

Regardless (people in the northeast do still commute in the winter, including by walking and biking), the companies still deploy the units as they are often mandated to via contracts, and they do not do a good job prepping their fleet for snow. While BlueBikes can coordinate with the cities to...

As someone who has extensively used docked bikeshare in Boston AND dockless bikes/scooters in Providence, the latter is a bit of a disaster. In Providence, bikes are not only docked by users in the middle of narrow sidewalks wherever is most convenient for them, they are often deployed this...

"Ooops! All Silver Line!"

Not sure the best place to post this, but this was spotted near Citizens Plaza:

Copley Sq is also out of scale for the High Spine and the planned redesign does nothing to help this. 0 stories?! You could easily squeeze 1-2 Prudential Towers on that site.

City Hall Plaza Supertall

Interestingly, this project only includes about 2/3rds of the parking lot on the side closest to the existing Kneeland building. The remaining 1/3 facing Harvard St. is owned by another party (a church?) who did not engage the developer when they sought to acquire it. This is why a "ghost...

The chart looks designed for the demo crew, so "green" means "do your job here" while "red" means "don't touch."

Going back to the render in the first post of this thread, is that ad in the location implied to be the relocated digital billboard?

I know I'm not exactly going against the grain with this opinion, but this is totally f***ing nuts. Goofy on its face. If I was being shown one of these units and looked out the window to see this, I would laugh myself out of the building. I understand they were restricted in some way and...

The location - if you don't mind the specific street it's on - is also phenomenal. 300 feet to the Common, a minute walk to Boylston and Chinatown stations. I see the appeal!

There was a brief discussion about Bowker/Charlesgate in the Kenmore/WHOOP thread & in addition to demolishing the central overpass to daylight the park again, I feel like you could easily expand the pedestrian sidings adjacent to both the east and west ramps over the Pike/rail. (The eastern...

Very cool visualization. Looks like minimum highway clearance height is 16' and the average building story is about 14'. Instead of your wedge, I'm conceptualizing frontloading the development as close to Newbury as possible. Let's say you could steal the Pike-adjacent parking lane from Newbury...

I love this idea, and started thinking of ways you could create at least a contiguous decked park connecting to both sides of Charlesgate, but looking at the grade of the Back Bay/Pike/CR/Newbury&Ipswitch/Fenway stretch here, it seems like it may be difficult (impossible?) to build even a flat...

I agree with you that this side entrance is an important one, and probably the one I use 95% of the time. However, to play devil's advocate for a moment - South Station consists of 3 or 4 interconnected transit areas and is heavily trafficked by regular commuters. There're the subway tunnels...

Looks like someone copied their homework from the Viola (Mass Pike Parcel 13, Back Bay):
