    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    From the looks of the graphic on page 126, the 39 route would terminate at the Copley Green Line entrance and then loop around Copley Square. Essentially its the same route minus the Back Bay stop. Why they wouldn't show it stopping in front of the Copley Fairmont is beyond me. Maybe they are...

    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    For the most part I think this is a great proposal. When i saw the site plan I knew an articulated bus (the 39) would not really be able to do a turnaround there. Then i realized that part of the proposal is to actually terminate the 39 bus over at Copley. Even with the close distance between...

    Wentworth Institute of Technology Expansion | Fenway

    Not wasting anytime at all. Really happy to see the alma mater moving forwards to improve the campus.

    The Lucas | 136 Shawmut Ave | South End

    I feel the same way. I am actually digging the development overall. The picture that shows (in what appears to be the bell tower) side-by-side windows that have beautiful brick arch ways being covered by framing is very disappointing. I understand this is luxury and all, but that would be so so...

    New & Renovated Boston Fire Stations

    I was at Wentworth when they started the Master Planning process, and this was actually part of the discussion. Whether WIT would acquire the land a integrate the fire department into it or do a landswap, we had no idea, but as students it was a great and fun exercise to be able to participate...

    General Infrastructure

    Little bit of both? haha The warning would be for anyone on the Pike to be aware of the traffic change. Praise for getting the ramp online quickly, especially when you compare it to other MA highway projects currently underway

    General Infrastructure

    On my drive to Hartford this morning the 128/I-95 interchange was all screwed up. They have moved traffic to the new exit ramp (just west of the existing). Gotta hand it to MassDOT and the contractors, didn't waste anytime with getting that thing up and running

    Boston Congestion Zone Charging

    Love the concept! I agree with almost all of the comments to help support this as well. This should and would be tied exclusively to transit, correct? This alone would help the NSRL cause. The biggest question I would have is, How is it enforced? I understand London has a congestion charge and...

    Acela & Amtrak NEC (HSR BOS-NYP-WAS and branches only)

    At risk of bumping for useless information, I thought this was a pretty cool snip to look at high speed rail.... http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170605-inside-chinas-incredible-train-network

    Seaport Neighborhood - Infill and Discussion

    Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport "Dearth" of parking??? Seriously???? I know the nyumber 7 bus is in shambles, but didn't Rep. Nick Collins recently say something about a study to dramatically improve this route. A development like this should have less parking! Maybe the city gets...

    Porter Square Infill and Small Developments

    This is definitely the ideal solution. Now if only we could get electrification throughout the system (or on major lines at least) to make it possible for our commuter trains to use more tunnels.

    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    Re: North-South Rail Link There was a presentation over at the BSA Space this past Thursday. Gov. Dukakis, Andy Monat from TransitMatters and Brad Bellows RA were presenting about the tunnel as part of a new committee at the BSA called Infra/Tecture. It really was quite informative in what the...

    Dorm Tower @ Emerson College | 1-3 Boylston Place | Downtown

    Is this genuine shock? the nightclubs have been the biggest conversation point about this project thus far.

    The archBoston Meetup Thread

    Barking Crab is another good option right in that area. Another option is we could also push the meetup one day and do it at the Boston Calling at Dewey Square.

    128 Widening

    Southbound traffic has been moved over to the newly constructed lane(s) just south of the Newton Highland exit. Was stuck in miserable traffic Thursday night there on the old road, and went through a few hours ago and all traffic had been shifted. Does anybody know if they are planning one of...

    General Infrastructure

    So I was looking around for the Electronic Tolling thread (checked within the 128 thread too) because I was curious about something I saw at the I-90 and the 128 interchange. I didn't realize that part of that project was new ramps connecting the two highways. I saw some formed concrete that...

    Parcel P-12 | 286-290 Tremont St | Chinatown

    Re: Parcel P-12 | Chinatown Too be fair, chinatowns across the country are probably ripe for gentrification due to slow development progress over the years. I know this forum has had plenty of discussion about bostons Chinatown gentrification. The longtime residents are worried about being...

    Parcel P-12 | 286-290 Tremont St | Chinatown

    Re: Parcel P-12 | Chinatown I actually forgot to mention two things. The BPDA owns this land, and they are not looking to sell it like the 115 Winthrop Project. Whatever project goes here it is almost guaranteed to be a ground lease with the BPDA. Also, public subsidies would be included in...

    Parcel P-12 | 286-290 Tremont St | Chinatown

    Re: Parcel P-12 | Chinatown So i have been meaning to write a brief synopsis about the last meeting for this parcel.... - The community has requested that the site be maximized to its tallest height. Roughly it is zoned for about 100'0" below the FAA limit. - The turnout at the meeting was...
