Well now it's all in court. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/08/22/business/housing-trees-hyde-park-apartments-crane-ledge/ Given that the renders in the Globe look the same as the PDF, I have to wonder what the judge was smoking when he said "You’ve got 200 some odd units [that are] I’m told...

It doesn't come across in these close-ups, but this project has enormous skyline presence. It will be the first tall building you see from the northwest, too, so it will keep that presence. Given that it sits behind this building, I actually think the skyline impact of the residential tower...

MassDOT's Route 128 Study also included it as a recommendation, but for the long term... I'm not sure why it's not the first thing that should happen after the interchange modifications (given that it's replacing/relocating an existing station to a better location, which justifies it by itself)...

Well, I'm not sure it's very YIMBY to require 50% of the site to be open space, for a property that is literally next to Downtown. Put another way, given that 30% of the site needs to be residential, they could have tried to build 2.7 times more housing than that if they'd simply forgone what...

So one question that's surely already been answered... why include the current bus routes and not the BNRD ones?

They just got done with that sign... are they going to immediately change it? https://www.lippincott.com/work/state-street/

To be clear, I believe they have cut buildings 9-14 on the site plan - the smaller residential buildings whose units can be replaced in the mill building. Those were meant to be the last things built and their sites can be easily integrated into the other public greenspace Northland had planned...

Community meeting on this one coming up on Wednesday night: https://www.somervillema.gov/events/2024/08/21/assembly-row-block-9-neighborhood-meeting Since the delays to the Assembly Innovation Park leave the existing office building on the site in-place, this would be a big puzzle piece and...

Update: https://www.cambridgeday.com/2024/08/12/neighbors-protest-of-a-larger-homeless-shelter-will-be-heard-on-wednesday-by-somerville-board/ Looks like this appeal isn't going anywhere. Two of the more risible quotes: Umm... Anne... in plain English that is like 99% of the teachings of...

Was looking through the Somerville development page, and came across this piece of work by some a$$hole neighbors who don't want a church to operate a homeless shelter. https://s3.amazonaws.com/somervillema-live/s3fs-public/2024-08/CollegeAve89_ZP24-000065_SupplementalPresentation.pdf

I don't think there are any plans to do that on this segment.

It's a preview of what two of them will look like at Seashore in 50 years :)

It's working out for them in some ways, not so much in others... https://sfist.com/2024/02/02/barts-fleet-of-the-future-trains-still-glitchy-as-heck-whenever-it-rains-may-require-expensive-repairs/ The smoothest procurement/rollout I've ever seen was the Green Line Type 9 here in Boston. It...

If they had actually proposed using the Allston land for the Olympics, then yes, I think it would have been completed by 2024 (or 2028, as the case may be). The delays in that project have been the result of analysis paralysis and obstructionist activism, both of which might have been at least...

Yep. Put this in the middle of Kendall and it wouldn't be noticed.

That's a longtime JetBlue route. Aggressive. Per SeatGeak https://www.seatguru.com/charts/shorthaul_economy.php... maybe? eh?

They should make the canopy for the Terminal E roadways red to tie the room together...

I can't confirm this with any opening day photos or anything, but the former General Cinema building (27 Boylston) in Chestnut Hill looks to be opening its new stores: https://thestreetchestnuthill.com/about/27-boylston/ It will always be General Cinema to me:

After Menino, yes. And goodness, does that Globe article contain some zingers... Umm... why? You'll be able to walk there much faster. They're building a skybridge. Shine on, you crazy obstructionist diamonds. Has there ever been a proposal for this land to support the offshore wind...

Yeah - it's kind of shocking how big this is from the Cambridge approach. They also seemed to tear through construction - it kind of just appeared all at once.
