Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail Fair enough but if it saves tens to hundreds of millions and allows much greater CR rail schedules (w. stops at QC), it's not necessarily an unrealistic tradeoff.

Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail HAving both Ashmont and braintree seems like a good plan, even if you lose some time on the red line. I don't know if you need to just build a new flyover downstream though. Seems like it could help the additional CR track. But F-Lines point about if...

I wasn't thinking soon, but once North Point gets fully up, some of the Charles Pedestrian bridges, continued MGH growth and a need to expand North Station. All those put this beyond 2030 - and probably outside of this thread - but you'd have the status of high rise towers, a potential anchor...

Could they do a South Station Tower type set up with a NS expansion, maybe it can help fund it. New tracks w. the foundation structure built as part of it, then sell off air rights to highest bidder. If MGH owns the lot, maybe they can benefit too.

The Boston page over at Airliners.net is talking about BOS-Vancouver being a 'underserved route of the day' or something. From the conversation, it sounds like WestJet is doing well. My Canada-US more general question, is how come it seems like there is very little interest in US airlines...

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett If you take away the social ills of a casino - (I know this is a big if and question of magnitude itself) - why shouldn't you look at a casino like any other entertainment business based on consumers spending their discretionary income. This is how i think...

Not to mention that i think the growth of TransAtlantic low cost carriers, WOW, Norwegian, Eurowings, that are charging for everything have a growing client base that are more willing to take the T, at least part way than the transatlantic, business class. Plus sometimes getting an uber or...

Judging buy the announcement this week on their Airbus order and thoughts about going to Europe, i would say that's the priority and money. If they could do Mint to Europe, they have a loyal BOS and NYC following and a top quality product to feed from LA, SFO, and soon SEA and SD. I think MEM...

Remember the 28X... that really needs to be highlighted as they tried to address this problem, but it was NIMBYs and leaders who felt passed over and cut off their nose to spite their face. Hopefully a workable solution can be developed quick...

i actually love it. the church is great, but if it can't function as a church, i like the reuse and the glass makes the old vs. new interplay very nice. i think this is a building that when you walk by it you'll say, whoa i'd love to live in that. Obviously, it's opinions and personal...

I figured there was some larger service implication. The T for all it's faults does need to sell its own infrastructure work to the public. People look for faults and seeing a $20 million overrun on a $70 mill project that only mentions 1 new station and 5 miles of track is ridiculous. They...

Did the grant cover the bridges and double tracking in addition the extension and new station? If so, that seems like a good deal for some big transit with the double track and infrastructure with the new bridges. If this was just for a 5 miles extension to Wachusett, it seems absurd.

He said not seeing the irony of praising a multi-thousand pre-fab parking garage designed for a majority of 5000 employees to drive in on 93 between the hours of 7am-9am and out 4 pm-6pm every day for the next 20 years while railing against a smaller casino facility 0.5 miles away that will have...

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 probably most apt to think of it as a glorified international place. Some quick serve places for the workers, maybe a street level orientation and them some restaurants (like the Palm) for the after work/ evening...

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium I feel like with this site, the UMass plans and student, the existing neighborhood and T plus with Krafts own patriot place success that he views this as a kind of Assembly Square/ New Balance Boston Landing for the South Side. It can have soccer...

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport you're position is established no need to repeat it multiple times a day. let us know when it changes

Re: 2 Charlesgate West The sox largest concern is a wrigley situation where people can set up and see in. That's why they bought up landsdowne and close down yaw key. They don't want that or ads on other buildings from Fenway (Citgo obvious exception from yesteryear). They want to be the only...

Re: 2 Charlesgate West I feel like this actually has a fair likelihood of going forward. Fenway neighborhood groups have proven pretty receptive of development and height. Also, they have already accepted this development in much more significant areas. I would argue the Burger King Lot...

Normally projects don't live up to the glossy renderings but the person who did them must feel vindicated seeing those ones with the sun coming off the cuts. The common view is amazing.
