There are a number of high-tech firms in Maryland along I-270 in the area of Rockville and Gaithersburg. I imagine most of them are defense contractors etc.

Ohh...didn't know there were two law school buildings! I'm taking bar review classes right now at the main building (120 Tremont); I thought that was the only one.

But, isn't that the law school building in the second photo, across from the church?

Any idea who owns/lives in these buildings? The ones in the West End look like they're still occupied.

Is this the building you mean? http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&q=west+end+boston+ma&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF-8&ll=42.366162,-71.063803&spn=0.002513,0.00478&z=18&layer=c&cbll=42.365325,-71.064432&panoid=dH716gSM1LoAVJVWUDlBlA&cbp=1,54.65359090538266,,0,-14.950237170983252

Ohh - I remember what the rail line is - the proposed corridor for the roundabout Worcester-to-North Station route: http://www.telegram.com/article/20080306/NEWS/803060790/1116 The article says it's freight track currently.

The whole scheme reminds me very much of University Park in Cambridge, which as far as I know is a success. I'm not surprised that WPI is following suit with the exact same kind of plans. If that ROW isn't in use, there's potential for a light rail link of some kind connecting the development...

Has anyone been following the Gateway Park development in downtown Worcester? It is planned as a collection of research facilities, offices, and some retail and residential. I am very curious if it will bring a significant chunk of the biotech industry to Worcester as Boston/Cambridge becomes...

Incidentally, where did you get the ridership numbers for the red line?

Thanks very much for the comprehensive analysis, belmont! Given the time you've invested in this, I assume all the numbers are correct. It seems like the right time for an additional station would be when the 6:1 ratio decreases by some amount. I imagine it would have to take into account the...

I think the issue of travel time may be more complex - for example, Kendall-area workers commuting from the Alewife direction would save time if they normally have to backtrack to the Kendall station. Similarly, many folks might prefer a few extra minutes on the subway to a similar amount of...

Is the issue of quantity of subway stations relative to urban density a well-studied matter? How would transit planners determine if there is enough development in a given area to justify adding a station to serve the new developments and allow for continued growth? I ask because this is a...

Great to see so many people weighing in on this subject! I guess the aspect most interesting to me is that of scalability. At what point would new developments justify a new T station? I think the Central/Kendall example is a good one because there is, basically, a lot of stuff there that...

Interesting analysis - I think you are right in that the even spacing of the Toronto system gives a false sense of a more comprehensive network. Toronto also has an extensive set of indoor and underground passageways that make getting around far less daunting. Perhaps what I'm really...

Greetings all, I have enjoyed reading this messageboard for the last few months, and wanted to pose a question about a topic I was interested in. I know there is a plan to add a new T stop at Assembly Square on the Orange Line. Are there, or have there been, any plans for additional infill...
