Not really 128 widening per se, but couldn't find anywhere else to put it. Also won't be funded for 14 more years so don't get excited. http://homenewshere.com/middlesex_east/article_e55f7c2c-d0f4-11e1-9754-0019bb2963f4.html...

Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 http://somerville.patch.com/articles/green-line-extension-gets-environmental-approval-from-feds The federal government this week gave the Green Line Extension an enironmental stamp of approval, according to an announcement from the state's Green Line...

I think there is a plan to add rail via haul road to the port (something like that). And working ports are good for cities, most cities came to be b/c they were working ports.

http://www.southcoasttoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20120712/NEWS/207120343/1018/OPINION NEW BEDFORD — With the goal of increasing commercial links between Mexico and New England, the port of New Bedford on Wednesday entered into a sister port agreement with Tuxpan in the state of...

Certain instances it makes sense, but to spend 200K to see if more vending carts can work. Thats a case when street smarts > book smarts.

It does not take 200K to figure out if more vendor carts are needed in an area. This is when academia is bad. You have all these master degrees out there that use spiffy buzz words and charge a lot (to help pay off those degrees) to give you an assessment that is not that important. For...

To Kendall's credit, it's a player on the global scene, it has companies like Google coming to it. And I'm surprised Central is 4th, Central has the best music scene and has the craziest street level experience. It's like Manhattan in the sense that every walk of life is there and it's very...

Re: B.U. East Campus Center (100 Bay State Rd) It's ok, but maybe the reason the back of the building is ass-like is that something will eventually get built on that side blocking it's view.

I think Boston's nightlife could use a shot in the arm for sure. But mainly in the way of latter closing times and 24 hour diners and things of that nature. I have to disagree very much with the music assessment. Boston is one of the better music scenes in the country. It has plenty of great...

B/c gospel is soulful and beautiful and IMO spiritual, it could have different lyrics but that sound is undeniable. Also vocally its some of the best of the best on this planet. And it's not too hard to hear the parallels to soul and blues, really the three come from a very similar place...

Is it me or does HSR seem to be dead in the water in this country?

That kind of upsets me. So in 5 years from now Boston has to spend money (higher than normal) for a park that no one needed (already plenty around) and hardly anyone uses. My apartment's back yard looked out to it, I can tell you better than just about anyone else that it gets used sparingly...

America would be a lot better off if we start building reasonable sized homes on reasonable sized lots. A lot of this is b/c of snobby reasoned zoning laws.

That Greylock sticks out like a sore thumb, but that part of Allston is almost entirely rented by people who won't be there in two years, so really build what you want over there.

Re: B.U. East Campus Center (100 Bay State Rd) Detroit had/has a lot of yellow brick buildings. They just don't look as good as red, it fits in nice with the whole post-accoplyptic vibe out there, but it just has a feeling of a pollution stain to it.

http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2012/07/01/wonderland_reimagined_things_looking_up_revere_hopes_for_a_real_wonderland/ Few people get visibly excited while discussing the opening of a parking garage, but the gray concrete structure that rises seven levels above Route 1A...

^^ Thats what I thought, I mean the name Littleton already gives the impression that its small and the 524 sq mile density confirms it. I'd say the heart is Newton or maybe Framingham.

^^^ Or the areas around the ones in CT

I'm no expert, but I see a by pass of a busy intersection as helpful. Is it a case of the entrance to Suffolk Downs not being improved enough? Or more than just those two intersections need to be addressed? And in all fairness to them I believe them when they say any other redevelopment of...

Re: The Boston Arch (Aquarium parking garage) I'll be happily surprised if this ends up being anything other than a total POS box.
