The London tube trains are downright claustrophobic.

There's no way that's sustainable. AA needs the flights to feed their network, but DL and B6 have more than enough capacity on that route for business P2P travel.

I know in the past there's been some discussion that Mass. General has led the charge against the B-L connector out of fear of how disruptive it could be for them (even when they clearly stand to gain a huge benfit from it being built in teh end).

But with the building recently renovated and near 90% occupied, why would they sink additional funds into it at this point? (And yes, I hate that it blocks the courthouse)

Bringing this thread back as the Globe just posted that the building is potentially up for sale: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/01/08/business/bostons-center-plaza-is-up-sale/?s_campaign=bostonglobe%3Asocialflow%3Atwitter

Seems to me that with a brand new casino and the BB Hall of Fame as two significant draws (among others), the Springfield business community needs to get together and help make a concerted push for faster and more constant service from Boston.

Nope. Always along the perimeter. Shorter crossings with yield control to minimize risk for pedestrians.

Count me as one who would rather see the bicycle and pedestrian accommodation at the throat to be a new viaduct over the river with the roadways (pike and SRF) both at-grade. The costs for a non-vehicular viaduct would be significantly less expensive and at the same time could provide and...

It is the definitive legal justification. If the data collected doesn't meet at least one of the warrants, a signal is not justified.

One of the things MassDOT is doing nowadays when redesigning intersections is having designers do a feasibility study of a roundabout as a design alternative to a signalized intersection. The project I'm currently designing does not have sufficient right-of-way and would have significant adverse...

Hilton's Tent City!

Usually, it's because the intersection in question meets one of the MUTCD signal warrant criteria.

I've had season tickets in the balcony for 22 years. My seats are noticeably narrower and taller, as they added a seat to my row. Legroom has been reduced to the point that people will be tripping and falling into the rows below, alongwith taller people knocking into people in front of them. The...

Stopped in there last night before the game and I was far from impressed. The layout is weird and the selection was lacking, given the expanded size.

Because we have no real equivalent to a Tesco Express or Sainsbury's Local here - scaled down versions of supermarkets with prices that are equivalent to what you'd pay at the big store. Just got back from a trip to the UK and the model over there work incredibly well, but we don't have the same...

Apparently, it was driver error. Didn't wait tfor the switch to fully engage. https://twitter.com/wbz/status/1159131956375896064?s=20 This is unusually fast for the MBTA to comment on the cause of a derailment. My guess is that given all of the operational issues the T has faced over the...

A red brick and glass multilevel structure that would look perfectly at home with any office park located off of 128 vs. the existing structure that has some stunning architectural features. Such a shame.

I've never traveled for business, but I used to fly MHT-BWI to visit my wife's family twice a year, almost always on Southwest. I, like others here, live pretty much equidistant to MHT and BOS. More often than not, if I had to drive, I'd factor in the cost of parking to my overall travel costs...

The Philly Sports Complex on the south end of Broad Street is far from ideal, nevermind adopting something similar to here. It's a product of the 70's, when cookie cutter dual-purpose stadia were all the rage, with the original spectrum right next door to the Vet. Because those two facilites...
