325 Units is real good but 475 parking spaces next to a highway is not good at all

Charlesbank Landing right next door is also moving forward. "Charlesbank Landing on the Esplanade will be located at the former site of Lee Pool, in between the Longfellow Bridge and Museum of Science, and adjacent to the Teddy Ebersol’s Red Sox Fields, Alfond Memorial Spray Deck, and the...

Am I dreaming or is that a different rendering? I was going to comment on how bad the design was for such a prominent place, but this building looks pretty good. This has been a vacant lot for as long as I can remember and a 30 unit building that is not hideous, is wonderful

I don't think so because we don't have San Diego's climate and there isn't enough space in Franklin Park, but I do think the park, with the zoo and other attractions, has the potential to one day draw just as many visitors. Roger Williams is a lot like SD

Wow, 7000 people doing classes each month. That's how busy the YMCA once planned for the Greenway would be.

This is what happens when things are done in a rush behind closed doors. They should have debated and enacted this requirement on its own instead of it being an amendment to a spending bill because it is too impactful. It should have been more nuanced and had "teeth." Now they can't fix it...

So, what is stopping the legislature from passing a law that has teeth?

Okay Millennial EDIT: Ironic sarcasm

The taxpayers should be expected to remain silent so others can have a say? That doesn't exactly make sense. Seems, if people care, and they have an interest, they show up and if they don't, they don't.

Ideally it shouldn't just end at Columbia Road. As a crazy transit pitch, it could follow Columbia and connect to JFK/ UMASS to the east and the Fairmount and Forest Hills to the west

This is a thread about an apartment building in Dorchester. I think it looks great and will improve the streetscape. We do discuss Mass and Cass. I don't see the conspiracy

There is no engineering study that says the current ROW is even possible. You know that so stop wondering. But a tunnel on the ROW could be an option but that is also unknown

Just a reminder that the other option has not been proven to be viable either

What about the more centrally located corner of Richmond Street and Dot Ave, and forget Milton Station? It's a CVS with a huge parking lot. It would serve all the new construction, St Greg's, the Carney, Dot Park, Dorchester Village and replace service to Milton, Butler and Central Ave

Well, the cemetery is not the only problem. Putting heavy rail at grade, next to a river/ park/ bike trail shouldn't happen in the 21st Century, it is bad urban planning, and neither should heavy rail be elevated next to housing. The old Washington Street proves that. I like the idea of it...

Serious question. Is there anything preventing a tunnel straight down Dot Ave from Ashmont to Milton, thus by-passing the cemetery?

But there has been no study that actually says that you can squeeze heavy rail through it without digging up grandma. If it exists I would love to see it.

Yes, but this specific project faces many unique challenges, and has a few drawbacks, if is to be built at grade on its current ROW. For example, it cuts through a cemetery, it has 2 grade crossings, and it would run heavy rail along a river I would love to see the Red Line extended to...

The T has said that upgrading the Mattapan- Ashmont to heavy rail is not physically possible

Some people clearly obsess about Mass and Cass, but this is nowhere near there
