I was just walking out of the Garden after the game last night at this very spot on my way over to the T and noticed that there is a complete lack of structure in this spot right now.

I'm a regular at the Fours, primarily during hockey season and TBH, I don't see what the city envisioned when they announced the Canal Street shutdown. On a non gameday, the street is dead. Once business hours end on a weekday, the sandwich and coffee shops are closed. Boston Beer Works, the...

As someone who designs these for a living, this is false. The walk interval (solid white pedestrian indication shown) is an absolute minimum of 7 seconds. To that, we add a calculated pedestrian clearance time which assumes a pedestrian is about to enter the crosswalk and grants sufficient time...

I was in London for the first time last month and took HE to/from Paddington. Made me cry (as a Bostonian) how easy and clean it was.

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium Part of me wonders what if they had released the renderings much sooner in the process. Would they have helped drum up public support? What if the Krafts stopped keeping everything close to their vest and actually engaged in public outreach this...

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium Nope. This is all woefully incorrect. The truth is the the Krafts have publicly acknowledged that Gillette Stadium is not a viable facility for the long tern future of the Revs. Gillette was built from day one with soccer in mind. I know. I...

Here's the problem here: Your response is redolent with industry vernacular: "Walk rates". If you don't work in the field, that term has zero meaning to anyone. People who pay for a service, such as say, an airline ticket, are customers. That's what anyone of reasonable mind would term them...

I worked on the Nashua Street Park design back in the day. Not only are there major sewer intercepts there (96" and 84" diameters, IIRC), but there's also a huge underground encased and shielded electric cable that runs through the area.

Glad someone else noticed this! Those are S-series (S1-1 to be exact) for use in school zones (hence the pentagonal shape) vs. W-series (W11-2) pedestrian crossing signs, which are diamond shaped and meant for use in typical crosswalks.

Me! (Well, it gets me paid, at least :D)

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium As I've mentioned to a bunch of my fellow Revolution fans freaking out on FB, this is all posturing. Remember, there was time back in the late 90s when a new Foxboro Stadium was all but dead and the Pats were going to Hartford was almost a...

Unless I'm reading that wrong, it's a night time departure (9:10 pm) from Logan.

Resident Traffic Engineer here. Hit me up anytime.

Re: Amtrak / Regional Rail Discussion Thread My biggest concern is the actual travel time from Boston to Montreal. Almost 9 hours! I've done that drive many a time for Bruins, Sox and Revolution games up there and even with traffic at the border, 6 hours is an overly conservative drive time...

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium Adam's a good friend of mine and we've been salivating over this site as a possible stadium location for years. Disclosure: I'm a 20 year Revolution season ticket holder who's been commuting to Foxboro from Peabody, Lowell and North Andover...

Re: T construction news As a civil engineer who not only designs wheelchair ramps and sidewalks for a living, but often supervises the construction of them, it infuriates me that something like thins happens yet again. All it takes to make sure that the platforms are ADA/AAB compliant is for...

IIRC, the reason they filled in the space between the columns was for fire suppression/protection purposes.

We have one, finally. https://bostonpublicmarket.org/ I've been to the public markets in Philly (Reading), Baltimore (Lexington), Seattle (Pike), Des Moines (Farmer's), Columbus (North), Montreal (Jean Talon) and Toronto (St. Lawrence), amongst others. I had incredible trepidation when they...

Color Kinetics started out in downtown, moved to Burlington and eventually got bought by Phillips. (I know, because one of my best friends worked there for a number of years). They are responsible for the lights on the Zakim, as well as the TD Garden and numerous other major installations here...
