Looks like it's for sale/will need to find someone to build it. https://www.redfin.com/MA/Revere/459-Revere-Beach-Blvd-02151/home/9019892

I grew up in the suburbs and we never drove to a museum in the City when I was young. Even if there was parking, it just didn't make sense considering the cost and frustration. You leave your car at Oak Grove and ride in for the day (kids are free!). The only other times I went (not with...

I definitely don't give out many likes and I'm sorry if that is inadvertently mean because I definitely appreciate posts and photos by others! It's a newer feature to this forum and it never seemed important to me. I'm chiming in because even though I don't post photos myself here, this...

I find the bike lanes sandwiched between the travel lane and the bus lane to be very peculiar. That can't be very comfortable from an all ages and abilities standpoint. I would much rather worry about an occasional bus merging into a bus stop than to have vehicles passing on both sides of me for...

I mean, it literally could be anything else... a mural, an indent in the brick, a fake window... This looks like a back alley.

Just a garage door and a blank wall on the "main shopping" road???

I'm hoping that this might be one of those scenarios where they build a big garage, but it's never used to capacity. Future developments would then not build anymore garages and cite the nearby availability. There is some value to centralizing this instead of building a bunch of smaller garages...

So this is apparently under construction now. Can't seem to find any plans or meeting summaries explaining exactly what the conversion entails, but I did hear rumors that they're adding a few extra floors.

Looks like the "still can't find room" to bring the northbound bike lane to sidewalk level even though they did find space for a FIFTH vehicular lane. Note that this also removes the crosswalk across that leg of the intersection.

Here's the PNF https://bpda.app.box.com/s/vg8hrglsb4swwd1f54f7to7zieybtmjb Looks to be 111 units split between rentals and condos, and half of each affordable. 24 parking spaces. Given that it's Roxbury Tenants of Harvard, (who also own pretty much everything on that side of the street...

They still pay normal taxes, but the idea is that you eliminate the potential for additional students in the school system which would "overwhelm" the local school. At least that's what they claim elsewhere, usually in the suburbs. I've never heard of a carveout in local real estate taxes like a...

Of the three proposals though, they did select the one with the most units and lowest parking ratio, which I find encouraging.

I used to live a street over from here on Magnus Ave. In September 2020 there was a neighborhood meeting (which I missed) for the following proposal at this parcel (and the house behind it at 377). There was no followup after the meeting by our electeds or the developer, so residents had no idea...

205 Beacon St has to be the most elusive development project in Somerville right now. The only information I can find online is a demolition hearing from Summer 2020. Steel is already rising though and it's MUCH larger than the 2 family house and empty lot that were there before. Am I not...

Apparently they will be discussing this at the board meeting this week. While they're allowed to make changes to times, a policy change like a return to no bikes had to be approved by the board (which as we know, did not exist for a while).
