    Fenway Infill and Small Developments

    Nice photos BeeLine! I was curious so I looked for more information on 41 Westland and found this page: http://www.smma.com/project/boards/symphony-court-41-westland-avenue I guess it's unlikely that it'll have any retail given that there's going to be a garage on the first floor. Also, it...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos Anyone know if the MBTA has any plans to apply for the "core capacity" New Starts grants? The eligibility criterion is that you can increase capacity by 10% on existing lines at/near capacity. Sounds like something the MBTA could definitely use...

    Grounding the McGrath

    Addendum: to provide a concrete example of why bike priority lanes aren't great, I got honked at and then passed dangerously on my left (there was only one lane each way) while riding in one recently. The driver failed to realize it was a "bike lane". I really don't want to cut the driver any...

    MBTA's Pedal and Park (Secure Bike Parking at Major T Stations)

    If only we had automated underground bike parking like they have in parts of Europe and Asia: http://www.biceberg.es/INGLES/m_galeria.htm

    Grounding the McGrath

    There's also one on Longwood Ave, but I didn't even know they had a specific name. I ride on the one along Longwood all the time, but I actually think it's mostly useless since it doesn't offer much more than sharrows and nobody seems to actually know how it works. Most bicyclists I see along...

    Fenway Infill and Small Developments

    That'll be some nice density for that neighborhood. The current building there does look kinda out of place. I wonder if the Elephant Walk will move into the new space? (it's a nice place for having dinners with large parties or with people who have dietary restrictions) Edit: Apparently I...

    Biking in Boston

    Doesn't even have to be suburban for this to be a problem. Today I was biking home in the Fenway area and some moron wasn't looking and almost hit me by doing a left turn, despite the fact that I was in the intersection first and had bright blinking lights with 5 LEDs. That was just a bad driver...

    Westwood Station Developments

    If you upload the picture to imgur, they conveniently provide some BBcode snippets that you can just copy+paste into a forum post.

    Museum Of Science Renovations | 1 Science Park | West End

    Although in SF I find the California Academy of Science far more interesting than the Exploratorium, and I'd be more excited to go to the MOS if it were more like the former than the latter. I guess this is in part because the Academy is extremely new after its recent renovation, so maybe the...

    Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos I used the additional comments space to complain about the terrible front-door boarding policy.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos Or in an ideal world they could offer a mobile app like for the CR lines that an inspector could check for POP. Some other US/Canada bus operators that use POP: Emerald Express in OR sbX in CA (under construction) Translink/CMBC in BC And more...

    Lansdowne Station (née Yawkey Station) | Kenmore Square

    Wrong picture link? It looks on my browser like the Boston Conservatory photo. Edit: Looks fine now. Thanks kz1000ps for the photos.

    Standard Subway Tunnels vs Custom Vehicles

    I rode one of these on the demonstration line. They were pretty nice, though it wasn't quite enough to convince the city to build the False Creek streetcar line yet.

    Landmark Ctr. Expansion Plans | Fenway

    This plan looks amazing. As someone who walks through this area almost every day, I'll be very excited to see this go up if it's approved. Edit: also, page 63 --- they're planning to put a green roof on this? Neat.

    Plan Nubian Square Parcel P-3 (née Tremont Crossing) | Roxbury

    Re: Tremont Crossing in Roxbury Wow, the density in this new report looks great. I bet the retail will be popular with all the NU students living right next to this in International Village (and also with Ruggles so close).

    Red Sox / BRA Land Swap

    Wouldn't they have to demolish at least one or two buildings for that?
