Re: One Canal (formerly Greenway Center, Bullfinch Triangle) Thanks. Apologies. I was actually referring to the south side. I knew I should have referenced the PNF. I'm talking about column line P which has the Residential Lobby, garage and residences on New Chardon St. The North side (column...

Re: One Canal (formerly Greenway Center, Bullfinch Triangle) It's an interesting point. I tried to puzzle this one out the other night and just couldn't really figure it out. Particularly looking at the frame on the exterior wall on this south side on New Chardon St [EDIT]. If anyone has any...

Normally I'm a biker. But the last few weeks I've been a driver, including this afternoon during the early afternoon dusk and the rain where visibility was very low. Bikers in Boston really need to get with the program in terms of visibility - lights AND reflective clothing (seems like...

We've got old-timey lamp posts! And possibly slightly better buildings (if they actually build to the renders). They've got lots of busses (dedicated lanes) and room for bike lanes. We've both got street parking and boxes with underground parking. They've got ginormous intersections, slightly...

Car horns are not a form of communication. I am not anti-car as much as anti-jerks. The incivility of these people is unfathomable. Sadly it's well reflected in this thread. If you are in a car which at the flick of your foot could choose to kill the bike rider in front of you. Honking...

Re: Lewis Wharf Just, wow. The NIMBY's here make the Harbor Towers residents look like Jane Jacobs. You can read the whole North End article and most of the petition before you actually get to the actual objections of the residents. The 'community's' objections are apparently very vehement. As...

A comment on the Alford St Bridge and the Northern Strand Community Path (NSCP). The Alford St Bridge bike path is now complete and in great shape. While the adjacent travel lanes tend to be either very fast or stopped, there is a good deal of space and it overall makes for a great bicycling...

The zoning for this parcel is 120' height (basically same as Tower Records) with a FAR of 8.0. The real issue is the structural considerations related to the placement of foundations and the awkward site layout. The Boylston-side of the parcel and the Mass/Boylston corner are severely skewed...

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport I wasn't inside, it was taken at the gate from the public Capstan Way. You can see the same view here on google maps. I'm impressed they made it down that far.

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport Dry dock #3 The building at the (almost) end of the wharf.

Is it a parking lot? Hopefully not. Will they be done before summer ends? Probably not. v

The explanation or the proposal? Sorry if the explanation is complicated. It's hard to draw with Google maps, so more has to be described with words. The proposal is pretty similar to the Urban Ring except: - it connects to Washington St/Sullivan not Lechmere - it seeks to avoid mixed traffic...

Re: Goodwin Procter HQ (Parcel I) @ Fan Pier | 90 - 110 Northern Ave | Seaport Ok, I got a boom crane, two tower cranes, two concrete booms, and a mobile with an outrigger. Technically the building in the picture is 101 Seaport. And the reverse.

Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport Just identified the yacht. It's Amaryllis. Goes for $800k per week. Although apparently it's supposed to be in Med for the summer. Now if he could only go gambling up the Mystic River in Everett, I'm sure his week would be made.

Ok. So here's what I wanted to show. An extended use of the Grand Junction would allow a Orange and Green connection through East Cambridge and Kendall Sq and then to BU or Coolidge or lower Allston or Longwood. Starting from the North. Green is the main route. Thick purple is a viaduct and...

Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport Looks like someone is shopping for an apartment. This is the boat I would take.

I tried to capture the colored windows along Van Ness, but I didn't really get it. I hope they have good windows. On game night it's going to be a loud couple of hours. The van out front seemed new. I was pretty skeptical at first. But give them credit, a clever architect and developer...

Ok. Thanks, that makes sense. So the loop isn't the problem. The bad part is having stops in different directions at too large a remove from one another.

I had not seen this before. As Davem said, it does open. Now I hope it wasn't just for this Boston Harbor Cultural Connector boat. It has 4 trips a day for 20+m at a time up fort point channel. I would guess it removes the pedestrian usage of the bridge for 30m at a time. It's weird the boat is...

I had not seen mention of this before. A new Boston Harbor Cultural Connector Boat. It was free in July. It is sponsored by the ICA. It only goes from ICA to Fort Point Channel to Central Wharf / Aquarium. I don't mean to be down on this boat but it feels a bit pointless. Who's going to pay $5...
