The Red Line should be expanded to 95 in Burlington and a giant garage built with direct access from 95. That would take care of a lot of the Rt 2, 3 and 93 issues. But of course it is wildly expensive and will never happen.

Re: Alexandra Hotel Renovation | 1769 Washington St | South End This is just the Globe stirring up trouble where there is none. Even the Globe article acknowledges that neighbors were notified and given an opportunity for input. Only Roxbury "leaders" were not given an opportunity to extract...

Interesting that the developer was willing to eliminate names that do not fit with new Cambridge Crossing brand. Don't mean to be cynical but....

This is outrageous - if there not willing to do what they promised - order the developer to cease construction.

The road in front of One Dalton is a nightmare- giant potholes almost swallowed my car. Is the developer going to pave this road? Surely, they can't let buyers Mercedes and Teslas fall in those holes.

Air rights are very difficult to work around. Hudson Yards in NYC, which seems to be everyone's example of successful air rights, is only for train parking. More complex work such repairing equipment, storing chemicals, etc. cannot be done under large buildings. To put it simply, it is not...

The City and MBTA are so busy trying to sell of their property that they are giving no thought to where they will operate in the future. A tow lot, DPW yard and train parking are are not sexy use of land, but they are necessary for the City and MBTA to operate. Just like getting rid of gas...

Why would they place this so close to the Charles River rather than in the background and out of public view?

Re: Hotel Tower | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square This was originally filed with the addition to the "Hotel" Buckmister. Looks like there was a divorce.

Mass General could afford to build the Red Line-Blue line connector without sweating as mitigation for its many building projects (past, now and future). Think big people!

First, I think getting rid of ANY statute is a mistake. Just because history is not always squeaky clean, does not mean we should pretend it does not exist. If you look at any statute in Boston, there could be criticism if you dig deep enough. Teaching history rather than destroying it is the...

Standard King room on opening night: $549. Centric must mean small. How does this hotel call itself Faneuil Hall?

Everyone goes crazy when GE gets $10M and Liberty Mutual gets $10M in subsidies, but Harvard gets $1B and ... [crickets].

I'm sorry, but I don't understand this project. The cost of replacing the I-90 viaduct is $600M. It seems everything else is intended to benefit Harvard. Either Harvard should pay the additional $1B+ or the state should get a dedicated portion of the profits that Harvard makes on development...

You have clearly never tried to book a hotel room in Boston if you think the hotel market is pretty saturated. I paid $300 for a night at the Courtyard North Station (which is actually pretty nice). Any hotel room in Boston at any rate is expensive and hard to get.

It's my understanding that its permanent. Although most seem to have little to do with Boston and seem out of place.

Re: South Station Tower :cool:

These limited service hotels are crucial to the local economy. Somewhat cheaper hotel rooms have a definite purpose and given the hotel crunch in Boston/Cambridge, any hotel under $300/night is very needed.

The Brio Italian restaurant in Chestnut Hill closed suddenly yesterday. Meh food-but always seemed crowded. It's part of a nationwide chain. Interesting that it would close right before Xmas shopping season?
