That last pic is awesome. What a great shot of Cambridge's dense urban street

I forget where I read about this this morning but all of sudden a huge migraine came on when I read something about the Grand Junction bridge being used for commuter rail trains for that obsurdly idea of having some Worcester trains directed to NS instead of SS. Have they lost their minds...

I know I'll get alot of smack for this. This project and the others in the development are alot better than what was and by no means the worst of any in the city but I'm really disappointed with this tower. The Sudbury came out alot better than I thought it would but I'm really not liking the...

This is definitely a good idea and should be done but I'd consider this sorta the replacement that should have been built for the old El. I'm not always great at wording out my thoughts. Let me try again. I meant a new line that would benefit the area that hasn't had it before or has BRT...

Im almost positive that it has been discussed some what before but what crazy transit project that would create a new subway line/color does everyone think would benefit Boston and the region the most? The new subway line shouldnt be a branch or extension of any current lines, can not be...

If they could even just finish 2 projects on time that were both under construction at the same time I think the public would have a serious shift in how they think the MBTA conducts their projects and maybe just maybe we could get more car centric Massholes to actually believe and not block...

I think it's a great way to start getting our public transportation in this state to be free. Going by city each paying the cost for their residents is a very Massachusetts solution. Obviously if there was a greater Boston region governed on its own where the subway and buses operate within...

Back when I worked in the World Trade Center East building back in 2006 I think I walked maybe once or twice to South Station. Most days it in and out were all under ground on the Silver Line cause there really wasn't anything to walk through besides seas and seas of parking lots. Knowing how...

I really appreciate the skyline shots as they show how far our city's skyline has stretched outward and documents all the filling in that has occurred in just the past 10 or so years. Great work to you both on all your contributions.

There are. I have a couple on my phone for when my phone is mounted to my eBike. You can take video and/or pictures with it.

The area being between 2 major subway lines does make it a prime location for height. Especially for residential with the labs to the east and Kendall on the other side. I could only imagine the price of such units with the view from that location across the river from Boston.

Isn't South Station Tower's glass more gray than blue and State Street is looking gray compared to the renders? There is such a thing as too much glass **ahem Seaport ahem** but different colors of glass thrown about the Boston Skyline really shows the character of the city with all the old...

Is all that lawn part of the tower's property? Seems like wasted space in such a valuable area.

Those OL extensions would have about doubled the lines length. I know about the Express track proposal to the North but I've never heard about any express tracks on the south.

Those renders give this building a college dorm-ish feel.

That makes more sense than parking. It's been awhile since I've been down there and figured drop off was on another side of the building. But still shouldn't the drop off be where they are putting the bike lane in. I drive thru/in makes more sense so that arrivals don't have to walk across a...

I don't get why it makes more sense to them to have parking on the street there where it's not really needed and push the bike lane in like that. It's just nuts. 🤬

^^^^ People cheered as the skyline was no longer dark since the city installed a giant light bulb downtown. 🙃

Is there a way to have the link to the tracker at the top of each page in this thread or at least as the 1st post to this thread? It'd be nice to able to quickly check it.

Feel free to move to the covid Boston thread if need be. Just thought this was an interesting read. https://amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/612979/
