Life changed and I haven’t been to Coolidge in a very long time. Will have to go, I’m glad the Creperie is alive and well and expanding.

Sigh… I’d googled and found nothing and kind of amazed it seems as far as I can tell to have not even been discussed anywhere.

Some misogyny in the post but it would be nice to feel like the Gov actually wants to do something here. But, need to see the task force report first.

Anyone know if there are any movements afoot to put Revere Beach Parkway on a diet? It's always been such a ghastly road to me, and that third lane seems to unnecessary. It could actually be a pretty parkway if they eliminated both 3rd lanes and put in some trees, but I never hear any...

So I have a question: why is it that in Boston, and only in Boston, manhole/utility covers always sink down into the pavement, often causing hazards for smaller vehicles and a bumpy ride for the rest, including buses? I have driven in numerous cities with comparable weather and I have never...

Came here only to complain, so sorry about that. But I was on Arsenal Street for the first time in a few years yesterday, and it's just a hodgepodge of bad architecture. I get that not everything can be a gem and Watertown is not the most affluent town, but man, it was just so, so ugly, and it...

Was here on Friday. The aches look fantastic. I only wish there was some way the station could be warmer--it was freezing, but I guess that's always the issue for train stations.

People don't realize that benefits and supports for only the most marginalized do not actually come anywhere close to a fair and just society, but that doesnt make these things bad. It just is a sad commentary on the fact that only for the most extremely indigent is there any governmental...

Happened to me but fixed with clearing the cache. Annoying tho

I categorize bus lane enforcement as a little different than other camera-enforcement proposals. For whatever reason, it feels less big brother-ish. Perhaps because it’s ticketing stationary cars that are making a very specific violation that causes actual, not potential problems for the common...

Yeah no I knew Roxbury had the back bay, I just never really thought of the south end as being a name in use pre landfill and more so I’m a bit confused about Brookline street being the border of colonial era south end—isn’t that well into 19th century landfill territory?

These are amazing

Can you elaborate on this? Makes general sense to me, but would love some historical knowledge on why it is so.

I like the brick but the other material looks too flat and bare, makes it look stuck on or plasticky and the brick just pulling a distraction for the cheapo stuff.

This is Lower Roxbury The South End designation has enveloped former Roxbury only for unfortunate reasons, but beyond Mass Ave is not the South End, gentrification or not.

Yeah... also they are both major "known" cross streets, and in my mind it makes sense to have a stop for every "known" cross street. If the road is significant enough that people use it as a reference point ("I live off Warren"), it needs its own transit station.

I dont disagree, and nothing in your post is inconsistent with what I said.... Hyde Square isn't Arborway and isn't really Centre St either, save for a few feet. How about eminent domain for the 711 and have it go to Canary Square? Maybe not so crazy and if there is the width to do it (which...

I don’t think that in general this is a realistic was to enforce safer driving on local streets. You’re talking about tons of cameras, and systems to handle them, monitoring, ticket dispensation, etc. A lot of infrastructure and it only works where it works, which means that people still drive...

TfL does this with many lines and for varying reasons. I think a hollow red line would work well for this. The T has also done this themselves before, look no further than the old maps back when the Arborway line was “temporarily discontinued”.

I just was wondering aloud if Red is the best branding or if — especially now — there might be other benefits to coloring it a different color. For example, as a transit map nerd, I get extra little adrenaline boosts when I look at a map of transport for London and go “ahhh the Croydon...
