Re: Fairmont Line Upgrade ^I am thinking more of the track configuration and tunnel entry points. Like can a Lynn DMU through run to Fairmont? Can a Lowell one loop through and go out to the North Station, South Station, Back Bay and the Newton stops. Or is that bend not possible with where...

Re: Fairmont Line Upgrade Would the DMU's ever be able to enter the N-S rail link if that is built. I see the utility of having North Shore and South Shore commuter rails being able to run to the two main stations, but i think the DMU's being able to do continuing throughput service from the...

Assembly is turning out really well for what it is at this point. The mix, quality and vibrancy is impressive, and the phase 2 buildout will enhance that. That picture really shows how it will still have the ability to double in size from the parking lots, home depot lots, old theater and then...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium Looking at the map, though, this is super isolated. even between southie, south end and south station. Go to north station area on a non-event night and check those bars out. Empty and it is infinitely more accessible and surrounded then some sports bars would...

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport It will need a real cycle track. Not a Comm. Ave median that you can bike down. It is way too crowded in peak months and it will be a big bike passage. Both from Southie to downtown, but also from all other neighborhoods with people biking into the...

^cafe 939. although more good live music spots are always welcome.

This seems like the best proposal. 1) no parking (that was mentioned) 2) student housing, much needed and will probably do more to create more affordable housing than any money put (and languishing) in the fund by opening up current buildings. 3) I like the step up being away from Mass Ave and...

Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 I am curious if some modern elevated light rail as opposed to the older, street covering kind will spark a new interest in other areas that used to have an El after they see how much less intrusive it is today.

^yup only like $13 and full recline lots of space and beer at the bar

^ The islands are a national park so I imagine that would complicate any transfer of uses to an island in the park system. Deer doesn't really count, but I imagine long island wouldn't be able to add those new uses.

There is a new app called 'Spot' that allows space owners to rent out their "owned" space to another person by the day, week or month. This could lead to higher utilization of the existing infrastructure, however, it seems to come into direct odds with the air pollution regulation.

Re: Garden Garage Towers (Basketball City) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End ^Agree. Also like the height really breaking the West End monotony. it looks very slender in some renderings giving the footprint of the current garage. If it makes the parks more accessible and lively it can be an...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium ^Here's my question, if soccer does take and the Revs start pulling in 25k+ in Foxboro consistently, does that hurt the odds for a city stadium? I think if soccer is really going to grow a stadium bigger than 30k is intimate but a little more future proof. I've...

Ya, there seems to be little marginal value that Kraft gets from paying to put a stadium downtown. It's very profitable in Foxboro plus a whole commercial residential district in Boston is another money printer. If the Pats move to Boston, how much more money does he actually make versus...

^Shhh don't blow it.

The state seems to be saving $200 million on this order than what they budgeted. Is there any idea what those funds will be used for? Be great if they could put it into upgrading the signals and tracks. Also, any idea what will be done at the red and orange yards they mention?

Somerville is also much safer than Southie. Southie is still a tough spot, and some of its toughest are at the main access points of Broadway and andrew. Somerville is very safe. The mail the crime stats each year, and although I always felt safe, was shocked by how low the whole city is...

How would a d street tunnel connect to the Ted? If it has to come up and loop around to go in via the seaport again I feel like it's literally just kicking the can down the road. The back track in traffic loop is still idiotic. Also, if people were thinking holistically, a red blue...

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 There was an article a while back about Putnam growing and having a lease expiring. They could be solid candidate. They definitely have the money

Re: Suffolk Downs Redevelopment Potential ^think about how much money we could save if we stopped teaching children how to read 😜
