This poll just goes to show how internet communities such as this one tend to be more liberal than the general populace in real life.

I suspect that this is what's going to happen as well. The T and State both need the good publicity from this and they're going to want everything to be perfect. It's not often we do something on time and on budget in Boston.

I mean it would be nice if they would do all that. Although I'm not sure how necessary a winter garden is. And I have no idea of what they mean by rethinking how the water moves through the Hook site. Redeveloping that piece of crap building next to it would be pretty nice though.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett And I doubt Curtatone has enough political skill to be able to spin this as a positive for him and use it to unseat a popular incumbent. And if Curtatone is counting himself out who does that leave? Kim Driscoll? I doubt Maura Healey's going to run.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett I thought that the idea was that Curtatone is getting ready for mount a run for Governor in 2018, so stalling Baker's agenda wherever possible and painting him as the villain makes sense.

I don't think this bodes well for GLX.

The massive concrete balls are really the worst type of bollard. Are there any examples of nice looking bollards around town somewhere?

I'm really starting to like this one. Can't wait to see the finished project though.

Walked past the site today for the first time since September and I noticed that they'd been making some progress on this. Can't wait for it to start shooting up.

Sounds scandalous.

I would love it if they could permanently light the box.

I feel like those would be required for safety reasons/so that people don't have to jump through windows to escape death by smoke inhalation.

Re: City Hall Plaza Polar Bar / City Bistro This reminds me of something you would see at a fairground somewhere. I agree with Van that the best use of the plaza would be to parcel it out and sell it to developers.

I was under the impression that the power plant redevelopment was going to be mostly residential, which is obviously not the case. Am I just completely wrong or was it proposed as residential at some point?

Re: Tremont Crossing in Roxbury Looks like that Southwest Corridor TOD that's supposed to help ease Boston's housing woes is starting to become a thing.

So who can we expect if all of the airlines that might bring the A380 to Boston like Turkish, Emirates, and Lufthansa are prioritixing frequency over the A380?

Re: Old Boston Edison plant on Summer St I think you might be thinking of the Fort Point Channel, not the Reserve Channel. The Reserve Channel is much further away from all of these things and this site is on the wrong side of it as well.

I thought that we had determined that the FAA height limits in that area wouldn't allow for an 800 footer? I might be wrong though, I would love to see something like that here, preferably with at least a semi-decent street level activation though.

I would love to see something like Pierce on that site.

The absolute disaster that was Downtown Boston in the 1960s makes me happy about how far we've come.
