    Grounding the McGrath

    This is probably posted a few pages back as well, but explains some of what they're doing now and why: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/0d292dbd1932495fae4be15c124229c6

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    Oh the name is interesting. It's address is 9 Central Street and "ennea" is the Greek word for 9. (and it's a couple lots over from the Greek church)

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    Every time I'm in this area, I think about the development pattern of Washington St. 3-4 story buildings with ground floor retail spaces keep popping up as as-of-right projects. I don't know of anywhere else in the area where we're seeing so many individual parcels be developed instead of huge...

    Alexandra Hotel Renovation | 1769 Washington St | Roxbury

    I would use caution basing anything neighborhood related on zip codes. In a city with several post offices and neighborhoods, zip codes were created based on route efficiency and some history, not necessarily neighborhood borders. This mattered more when routes would initiate mostly from the...

    Dorchester Bay City (nee Bayside Expo Ctr.) | Columbia Point

    I was actually going to suggest to them that they remove Morrissey Blvd offramp. It only serves to make Morrissey an arterial route and future projects are trying to de-emphasize that connection to South Boston. People that get off there should stay on I-93 until either the Columbia Rd or...

    Dorchester Bay City (nee Bayside Expo Ctr.) | Columbia Point

    Does anyone know why there are 3-4 construction vehicles owned by GTA Landscaping in the Bayside lot for the last 3 years? They haven't moved. One has a broken window.

    The City of Boston is putting out an RFP for 2.4 miles of Columbia Road between Franklin Park and Moakley Park.

    Harvard Square Infill and Small Developments

    This is actually a pretty big project. Basically they're undoing the exterior renovation from the 1950s and restoring the church to its original look: CHC-Application-drawings-First-Parish-Church-9-8-2020-1.pdf (firstparishcambridge.org)

    Dorchester Infill and Small Developments

    Sounds like I need to start going to my neighborhood association meetings... Honestly parking is not a problem on Dot Ave. Food pickup is. A municipal lot is not going to change that. Most of Dot Ave in this stretch has no parking restrictions at all. Before having the city buy all these lots...

    Biking in Boston

    Nothing too elaborate, but Cambridge has a small bike lane project for Main Street and there is a design survey for it linked at the top. Appears mostly about parking, but also some signals. Main Street Safety Improvement Project (cambridgema.gov)

    Route 1 Project - Malden, Revere, Saugus

    Since that MassDOT website is relatively useless in terms of finding out exactly what's happening and when, I found these two related documents: City-of-Revere-and-Town-of-Saugus-2020-Transportation-Construction-Project-Application.pdf (massgaming.com)...

    The New Retail Thread

    But do you know of any other closings where media have cared to include a reason in the headline? Isn't it usually just "Wegman's to close Natick store" or similar? I mean, Wegman's didn't even include the non-traditional bit in their own headline. It's in the body.

    The New Retail Thread

    Street view shows that it was formerly a JCPenney. Idk if it was mainly WCVB pushing this angle, but all of the "non-traditional Wegman's closing" headlines are very odd. Like, media are trying very hard to push the excuse and I'm not sure I've seen that before for a store closing.

    MBTA Fare System (Charlie, AFC 2.0, Zone, Discounts)

    I consider the interim payment scheme to be real waste of money here. They're trying to phase in the new system while keeping the old one active. They should just deactivate all fare collection for a couple months while the new system is installed. I imagine they don't want to "lose" operating...
