Re: Crossroads at Kenmore | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square I don't see anywhere in or near Sullivan Square that utilizes the traffic pattern they are using here and in general the streets near Sullivan Square have narrow sidewalks and infrequent crosswalks which is the exact opposite of...

They seem to have adjusted the facade treatment of the podium so that it appears less monolithic which is really helping the tower and the podium relationship to work better than before. At least for me.

The BPDA page might be showing an updated render, but I am not sure to be honest.

528' is the highest occupied floor and is what the Globe and other news agencies will reference until/unless HYM releases a notice giving the architectural height of the building including the crown.

If the MBTA commuter rail upped frequencies on the Worcester Line to every 30 minutes all day would that be considered an adequate replacement for Storrow Drive? The added capacity to the Worcester Line would be greater than the capacity lost from closing Storrow and it would keep some of the...

Boston is a much larger city than Nashville though unless you look at city proper population which doesn't give a good picture. Nashville's city proper is 504 square miles in land area. Boston's is only 48 square miles and Nashville as of the most recent population estimates is estimated to have...

I don't think this has been designed yet beyond choosing the alignment and making a basic massing model to demonstrate how things will be positioned.

Re: Massport Parcel A2 | Seaport This map shows the location of parcel A2

I think there are hills in the way that block the skyline from there because the interchange is set in a low point surrounded by hills.

From what I have heard looking into this more the New England Grid operator is actively requesting for a subsidy to be provided to the company that runs those to prevent the issue of potential rolling black outs the globe article you quoted from is talking about...

That is the lot line so they either pay for fire rated glass or it gets a blank wall. I would guess they aren't going ultra luxury here so blank wall it is. At least they are doing something with it I guess unlike some other recent projects in Boston.

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District If they had chosen to line the entirety of the great hall with retail space I would have a much more positive feeling about it because without that it risks feeling like a private space that is not open to the public because of its resemblance to a...

It is directly behind 1 International Place from that angle.

Those diagrams are usually set to only show buildings with diagrams and the list is updated based on posts requesting updates by individuals with accounts on the website and the diagrams themselves are made by anyone who wants. For example I created the images for 3 of the 5 buildings shown...

I thought the bids were just for who would do the work on Cabot Yard I don't think there was ever a question of whether they would be stored there or not.

I agree but that is a major expense that would greatly drive up the cost of the South Coast rail project and the point of the article and this discussion has been how to keep costs down and provide effective service which is most easily done through a non-old colony route.

The Old Colony Lines have a major capacity constraint because of the single track section in Dorchester so although it doesn't add more branches to the system to do the Stoughton route it is better because that feeds into a three track line that also connects to the two track Fairmount line...

This is already approved I'm not sure why you think this can't go forward. I am pretty sure the developer already has a deal with the University Club otherwise they couldn't have gotten this proposal approved by the city.

It will be the D and E but I don't remember which line goes to which northern terminal.

I completely agree that seems like a very reasonable idea considering what the service is.
