Army Corps to sign over control of bridges to state Some of the choice excerpts from the Cape Cod Times about a forthcoming MOU between MassDOT and the USACE:

Just want to say I picked my avi before it was shameful.

In case you wanted an idea of what they might be thinking for future C branch stop consolidation, the shuttle buses will not be stopping at Brandon Hall or Kent Street.

If spring training starts at Fenway in a week as is being reported, they should grade this thing ASAP and throw down some sod for a practice infield, or throw up a few batting tunnels or something. If their Fort Myers spring training park is Fenway South, call this Fenway South North.

Weird, thanks. Here's the street view link.

Infrastructure question for the group, thank heavens for generic threads. The southwest corner of One Financial Center has a separate loading dock from its main receiving area with a sign above it that says "Mass Highway Delivery Entrance" (street view). What is behind this door that would be...

If it absolutely has to be one of Kent or Hawes that goes, you nix Hawes for this reason: by now the folks who try to use that stop for the morning rush are probably already used to walking back to Kent or forward to St. Mary's if they actually want to get anywhere inbound. Successfully getting...

How about this for a stop elimination in this stretch that could be done for basically nothing other than the cost of more white stickies for the line maps: nix Kent St. outbound and St. Paul St. inbound. You'd be left with Kent inbound and St. Paul outbound, which are on the same block and less...

Is the plan only to do something on Stuart Street eastbound or will they also do something westbound? The protected lane on Kneeland Street westbound ends extremely abruptly at Washington. Getting anywhere westbound from South Station on a bike is a remarkable pain in the ass and I know it...

Why oh why oh WHY did they do this?? You're looking at the ingress/egress from Beacon Street to the Lansdowne platform. Beacon Street is not behind you in the photo, it's in front of you, above where those new emergency exit signs are located. That means that people hurrying to catch a train -...

I am presuming that you phrased it this way so as to exclude Liberty National GC (3.5 miles), Skyway GC (4.3 miles) and Bayonne GC (oops, 5.5 miles), which are all across the river in New Jersey. As for me, my hope is that everyone so exercised in this thread can find a window in the upcoming...

The path connecting the Riverway to Lansdowne, whenever it gets out of bureaucracy jail, should include a new egress out the west side of the Fenway station, on the other side of Park Drive from the one there now. This doesn't even have to be a headhouse because the station is at grade with the...

Outrageous to see it expressed like this. I always thought they should be renting that far end mezzanine space for corporate happy hour-type events, even wedding receptions. You laugh, but the likeliest customers are right here on this board, let's all admit it. Also, again a very hearty thank...

What is commercial real estate worth on the other side of this? The amount of Class A office space sitting unused right now has to be astounding. What is inner-core residential real estate worth on the other side of this? Wonder whether 2019 buyers will end up feeling like 2005-06 buyers did.

Love these. I think Arlington will be a hoot with the 364-day-unused half-block-length ped corridors from the Berkeley St. exits. Does anything else in the system have such a high percentage of essentially non-utilized space? Maybe Broadway if you count the trolley tunnel? The Hynes exit to...

Parcel 7 is not in fair territory, it's on the wrong side of Brookline Ave. for it to be the landing site for any home runs. As a man of history, you will surely recall that the Red Sox swapped Rosenthal the development rights to Parcel 7 in exchange for the Lansdowne garage where Rosenthal's...

The exact town line is actually the front walls/doors/windows of most of those (non-setback) buildings on that stretch. Raises an interesting intellectual point (probably just for me and for nobody else) because if Taco Bell puts a sign out in front, the sign will be anchored exactly on the line...

Welcome Jane. Ain't no rumor. Here's the agenda item with the Brookline Planning Board for their application to change the signage at the location: https://www.brooklinema.gov/list.aspx?MID=6444. You could head to Town Hall yourself tomorrow morning and see if anyone there representing the...

And on the very day that I decide to come here to complain about this, I notice for the first time that traffic signals are now being installed here. What else should I will into existence?
