    What building would you nominate for replacement

    First: all above ground parking garages. We are making great progress with government center, bay bay, garden garage, ect. However, Dalton Street garage and a few others need to go too. Habor towers. They are beyond ugly, in a super prominent spot on the haborwalk and green way, always seen in...

    Re: One Seaport Square | Parcels B-C@Seaport Sq. | Seaport Best one i could find on the street level between them.

    Echelon Seaport | 133-135 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    Re: Seaport Parcels M1-M2 | Seaport Sq. | Seaport As much as I wish that M was under construction, the pictures above are the seaport square parcels B-C and do not belong under this thread

    Echelon Seaport | 133-135 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    Re: Seaport Parcels M1-M2 | Seaport Sq. | Seaport The article also said construction is supposed to start this fall which is the first I've heard about this delay. Out of all the projects going on in seaport, I am most excited about this one. It will allow to continuous streetwall on summer...

    Copley Place Expansion and Tower | Back Bay

    So is this confirmed to be under construction? I know that people have seen foundation work but is there any pictures or press releases? Also when is it going to go vertical?

    Looks like the T has made up its mind for light night service. http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/02/14/schedules-suggest-end-near-for-late-night-mbta-service/46ZEOTGXSB096xJE6kX1xK/story.html

    Echelon Seaport | 133-135 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    Re: Seaport Parcels M1-M2 | Seaport Sq. | Seaport There is a public meeting on Feb 22nd for this project at district hall. I remember hearing that they wanted to break ground for this in early spring. Let's hope this awesome project breaks ground asap...

    UMass Boston Developments | Columbia Point | Dorchester

    Great project. For a school like UMB, a public-private partnership makes sense. They have a small endowment and the state/system is funneling money to Amherst. UMB is slowly going from one of the worst campuses on planet earth to one of the best urban campuses. Between adding dorms, the new...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Re: Driven By.... Uhh... Hello? Anybody? In response to F-line's post about the commuter rail's cars, it is bad, but not as apocalyptic as F-Line implies. Due to the roughly $200 million or so that the MBTA saved with the red/orange car replacement, the MBTA was supposed to (or did?) order 75...

    North Bank Bridge Pedestrian Walkway

    There's a bit of confusion over where the south bank ped bridge would be so here is a map I found.

    The St Regis Residences (former Whiskey Priest site) | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    Re: Whiskey Priest/Atlantic Beer Garden Redevelopment | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport The East Service Road are of Seaport looks to be the most interesting from a design point of view. 121 Seaport, Seaport Parcel M, and this will all be rising at the same time. They all thankfully break the One...

    Biking in Boston

    That's great news! I'm extremely curious to know what the bike lane separation project entails. In even more good news for Cambridge, I noticed this in the RFI that Scipio posted: Only Cambridge listed numbers. Cambridge is doing extremely well. Between 10 more hubway stations, these 3...

    Six Ten @ MIT | 610 Main Street | Cambridge - Kendall Sq

    I liked the building a lot more with the blue wrap more than the current massing. It was a contrast and interesting, now its bland.

    Massachusetts Bridges (fka Accelerated Bridge Repair)

    I think this is money well spent. The state actually maintained what we have instead of adding more lanes. I would love to see the state keep this program going. These smaller projects are what I think the state needs. In the accelerated bridge program, there were 4 projects (out of 200) that...

    121 Seaport Boulevard | Parcel L2 | Seaport Square

    This project is slow. Like really slow. Judging from Beeline's photos, it looks like they have hardly built the foundation after 4 months. This can't be normal. How fast did they build the little parcel that they capped next to Goodwin/ICA? The only reason I can think of is that they need to...

    Biking in Boston

    I'm not too sure what "high priority" means but I'm hoping they will go beyond painted bike lanes. The 5 year rolling plan could be awesome if they follow through with it. In my opinion, Boston should finish the current 5 year plan from Boston Bikes before launching another one. The Mass ave...

    Two way Streets

    Does anyone know why this project never moved forward? It looked like a fantastic way to humanize an oversized road. Hopefully the city will use the Vision Zero (http://www.visionzeroboston.org/)as a way to start making these roads into better places for walkers and bikers. Given the track...
