It's difficult but not impossible to get a sense of this if you go look up the plans for the government center rebuild, and also search for "MBTA Brattle Loop diagram". With those two, you can sort of get a sense of where the loop tunnel is, and also how the main green line then snakes thru...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Fourth: Longwood (assuming we're talking about job centers rather than traditional "central business districts") or fifth if you're counting: 1 Downtown 2 Back Bay 3 Seaport 4 Cambridge / Kendall 5 Longwood maybe those last two should be reversed

Boston has scant ability to maintain those structures out there without a bridge, and building an $80M bridge to reopen a homeless shelter so Boston can get back to hiding them away is cost ineffective on top of stigmatizing. I think the City should sell it to the National Park Service to be...

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett State. As narrowly as this whole casino thing passed, I would guess that state reps and senators from surrounding areas are in no mood to cut Everett slack on drinking laws.

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium I'd rephrase the question as "Which will get built?" And answer it: GLX

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District I don't much give a shit about this shadows on the Common thing, but I am curious on two points in the city hall discussion. And I don't have time to be watching it because I have to work for a living. So for those there, or watching, I've got...

article in today's Globe on this project, though also about the broader issue of how to deal with aging public housing stock: https://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2017/04/14/one-charlestown-and-future-public-housing/HeunQ4F4KmqdCwLaNVbPXP/story.html

Re: South Station Tower blocked on my work computer. Works only intermittently on my phone, seems to depend on whether folks have linked to it or embedded it.

Re: South Station Tower thanks

Re: South Station Tower for those of us who won't get twitter, what does it say?

Re: South Station Tower The state owns the building. If the lease actually runs out, the state re-lets it to someone else. If both parties agree, they could extend the lease prior to its termination.

Re: South Station Tower This isn't specifically about the South Station Tower, but I can't think of a better place to post it. Blackstone is selling their lease on the existing station building...

These look like improvements to me. Except the color change: I'm not having a strong reaction either way yet on that, not sure if I'll ever care. But the increased street activation looks like a very solid improvement. These renders do a good job of depicting how those convex façade...

http://www.bostonplans.org/getattachment/04a4f4fa-c996-4047-9122-1185a9437cf9 Only the first floor takes up the whole site, or most of it. Then there's about five more floors with a V shape that'll look super-fat when viewed from the bottom of the V, but isn't atypically fat along each arm of...

Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail Rover, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN PLAYING THIS CARD for your last so many posts. You've been saying the few need to be sacrificed for the many, with "few" being Lakeville and "many" being South Coast. Your last sentence in this paragraph is...

Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail Rover, this has come to be a conversation about a few hundred people in apartments versus everyone in NB, FR, etc. On that narrow front: the Lakeville renters, although some of them might be seriously inconvenienced, have an option in response to a...

Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail I can't speak for other posters on this board, but this is embarrassingly true for me.

Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail If the station move were announced today as a firm decision, the prices in the immediate proximity to the station - not all of Lakeville, I'm talking those properties in close proximity - would drop. If they'd drop enough to call it a "collapse"? I...

Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail I'm not going to weigh in on this statement from a transit perspective, but I'm in the multi-family apartment investment business. From a real estate investment perspective, you can only call such a station relocation absurd whining if it’s not your...
