Re: North-South Rail Link westy, a central station in the State Street area would allow access to the heart rather than edges of the Financial District with zero transfers: more convenient for the users, and better for the system in that it reduces crowding. We can debate whether the...

Re: Shreve, Crump & Low bldng may be replaced w/ new develop ^It's not?

Here's a rezoning suggestion which might bring about many of the same desirable changes without the need for (as much) elixir. Cambridge should designate a redevelopment corridor along the entire length of Mass Ave, of variable width up to two blocks. This corridor's main zoning rule, which...

Re: South Station Tower - Full Steam Ahead! Intersections can be dealt with by giving trolley signal preemption. The tourist objection is a complete red herring, unless said tourists have just been airlifted from the backwoods of Papua; most people know how to ride trolleys, and I don't see...
