They likely won't contact you. I'd suggest 617-635-4680 and ask to speak to one of the engineers. You can also call 311 directly and ask for the contact info for the staff member that closed out your case.

I'm sort of confused about this bus electrification plan. There was an article a few months back saying that most buses aren't used to their capacity (number of passengers) [Globe?]. Here's one from WGBH from 2017 either way citing most buses 49% full: High Costs And Empty Seats: Why Boston...

I guarantee the bizarre right turn lane that has the dashed bike lane line down the middle will be understood by approximately zero people. (Winthrop at Mystic Valley). Should just be a shared lane with shared lane markings and right turn arrows.

I'm not saying they aren't part of Greater Boston as a geographic area, just that the other section specifies "beyond 128" and already has all the threads on Natick, Weymouth, Wilmington, Peabody, etc. some of which are closer to Boston than Hull and Hingham. Perhaps those should be in Greater...

Sorry to bump this photo from last summer, but what the hell is going on with this house? Such a bizarre window situation.

I think this might belong in the "Beyond 128" section of the site not "Greater Boston'

I think you mean "on" Central. The one "in" Central is Sts Constantine and Helen in Cambridge ;) Yea, they really went all out on this "Byzantining". Reminds me of St George in Lynn from about 10 or so years ago. They built a Byzantine facade over the 1970s architecture too...

This is an as of right project and I think they're making a good effort to respond to community feedback. I really wish the renders were more realistic (why no blues?).

It's a nice project overall in terms of what it provides, but I have a feeling the materials are going to make it look terrible.

I feel this project leaves a lot to be desired (not enough units). I submitted feedback as such, but if anyone else is interested: https://www.bostonplans.org/projects/development-projects/garrison-trotter-phase-4 Vacant parcels around Harold St.

734 Dudley St (which is currently under construction) The sponsor has met with the Wendover Street Civic Association to request an additional floor of residential space. The change is to add five (5) more residential units on a sixth (6) floor. To accommodate the residential tenants, the project...

That is an article from January 2022. This project has been under construction for several months now :confused:

I find it odd that it's not even as tall as the building next door. Would have thought at least matching that height would be "easy".

I filtered through some of the responses. This is more of a general comment about public feedback, but is it really customary for people to use their job's letterhead to recommend things on their behalf? I noticed it the most in the Stumpo response. People with varying unrelated...

Something is up. Not sure if this is in response to the recently announced suit against the T about the death of the stair user at JFK, but they have randomly started closing off deteriorated, but critical access routes. This morning at JFK, users found the Columbia Ave main entrance fenced off...

The new Central Sq Cambridge Tasty Burger opened today. They had $1 burgers to celebrate. Line was around the block.

I think the townhouses perpendicular to the street can be fine as long as the unit on the end faces the street. The building two down on the corner of Glenville is sort of perpendicular, but appears to actually face Glenville, so not really the same situation. They did a horrendous renovation a...

The Broad Institute is converting half of one of the mechanical floors at 75 Ames into additional lab space. From the outside, it just changes louvers to windows. Are there smaller-format mechs these days that allow changes like this...

It bothers me that the cycle tracks and related infrastructure are in the "Landscape Design" section not "Transportation".

That mostly means it's further along in the process than the newly announced areas. They've been working on them for 1-2 years already. I'd expect installation early next year while the others haven't really started outreach and design yet.
