Re: Boylston West @ Fenway Triangle (Goodyear Tire) | 1325 Boylston Street | Fenway Yes, but the next block over is samuels and slated for development down the line.

I feel like task forces and goals like this should be laid out and then when developers propose something like the 700 units at andrew sq, the city asks, what prevents this from being 1000 units and seek to increase density, especially for projects around transit stations (cough cough sullivan)

Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End I always thought that building had some electric infrastructure in it? Does it? I could just be thinking that because it looks like it does. If not, it is positioned pretty good for like a tight 15-20 story hotel/apt...

Looking at flights to Europe, Turkish is always the lowest by far. if your looking far out, consistently below $800 across the board. But the flight time and lay over make a long trip. Icelandair seems to be the only other one that is close but still $100+ more. Most continental carriers are...

Why do Deleo (Winthrop/Revere) and House Majority Leader Ronald Mariano, a Quincy Democrat, seem so anti-T funding. They seem to be saying all the classic kick the can cliches of get the T's house in order, blah blah blah, which certainly needs to happen but shouldn't preclude any funding of...

Does JetBlue really have a strong desire to go to Europe? They have a lot of partner agreements, but most are just booking and don't allow you to earn or spend frequent fliers. With their strong base in Boston, i'm surprised they haven't gone to a more formal agreement with some Euro airline...

I dont get the accusations of this being a palatial headhouse. First it is a major station, and part of the whole rebuild was to open it up and let in more natural light. It's tall, but it's a basic steel frame and glass. At its minimum, you take off the top two rows of glass and make the...

I wonder what bank/cell phone store will go there?

It is an interesting solution -both the parking and congestion- because it really gets the driving to pay for the benefit they receive from transit availability. Just take a look at 93 when the red line and south side CR go down. Both have the same effect. On the congestion side, i am more...

Re: Dr. Beverly Scott resigns ^Yes, its a total farce when people say the MBTA shouldn't expand and think has anything to do with the core rapid transit base. 1 new infill station in 20 years and a long delayed, legally enforceable extension into the densest city in the region, which won't be...

Re: MBTA & Regular Driving May Be Shut Down During Coming Snowstorm! The only new rapid transit station built in the last 20 years was an infill in Assembly. So the idea of stop expansion and start fixing is entirely a non-starter in regard to the central subway. The T certainly needs...

Re: MBTA & Regular Driving May Be Shut Down During Coming Snowstorm! Yes, and unfortunately, to get such investment the MBTA needs to go grovel for money at the state house to a bunch of suburban reps. There needs to be some sustainable transit funding with a realization that this is about...

I think your also over representing the logic on the other side of the traffic will be nonstop gridlock side. But great analysis.

^ Idk, a 35 story tower with an adjacent 21 story tower in an area surround by colleges and hospitals. It's on a surface parking lot and next to a building with utilizing .14 parking spaces per unit. So its not knocking anything down and it is not taking away parking from a saturated market...

I think there is certainly blame to go around: Profit focused developers, NIMBY's backlash, and a permitting agency worried about being 'too iconic'. Money will not be thrown at fanciful design, but certainly there is room to improve and add unique features and flourishes. It's not just the...

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos I don't know what this is referring to, and its also important to note how far the administration (any administrations reach is). Patrick hasn't killed SCR, but I don't see many boondoggles. I think Patrick has actually been a great Gov. for...

surprised on the low performance to the big west coast markets. is it just low fares and competition? I wonder if the coming of Emirates and others helps follow on traffic to keep these unprofitable routes going.

I think the Red-Blue connector does the most for residents of the urban core areas (Boston/Cambridge/Somerville) because of its huge impact on the MBTA and the ability to spread out riders at core stations. The whole T system functions more efficiently. The N-S link i see as having a much...

Re: Ames Street Residence/88 Ames Str./Kendall Sq./Cambridge The area is really moving fast. I used to work right in the tech square buildings and walk through those places. I think the best for all parties solution would be to have a development plan for the area. Take three of the...

Re: The Boston Arch (Aquarium parking garage) If that's the case the harbor towers should come down by 2025!!! Yay
