Is building a more direct pedestrian connection to the Assembly Square station from the proposed Footbridge an official part of the project? I hope so.

That's just chump change for the Kraft Group, and for the State as well. Instead of building their next mickey mouse suburban highway project, build this!

I hear what you're saying about extremism. Me personally, I'm not Jewish, but went to a public high school in Cambridge where about 20% of the kids were Jewish, and I had, and have, Jewish friends, so I tend to be pro Israel. But that's just me. I don't want to get into politics or religion...

A tax break for small ground-level retail might help.

I looked at their info, and they don't appear to be extreme. It's just a Jewish organization for Harvard students, apparently.

Really nice photo of North Point Park in Cambridge that I found on a ReMax website, of all places: [

Great shot of the new Jefferson Park construction.

Love the density. The one thing missing is a pocket park here and there.

Wow, that is an exceptionally classy building. Go Kendall Square!

Ugly as sin.

Great! I remember when it was the "Cities Service" sign, which was the precursor company to Citgo.

Yes, and hopefully would have a small playground for the hundreds (thousands?) of kids living there.

That second one is awesome, with Beacon Hill in the mid-ground.

I grew up in the southeast corner of Jefferson Park from 1954 thru 1966. This replacement project for me is a bit like seeing someone you love passing away. The new complex does appear denser than the old "projects". I was fortunate to have lived there at the time. We had playgrounds right...

Excellent point about the questionable need for the proposed bus lanes. I would eliminate them, and shift the general traffic lanes to the west side of the roadway, thus opening up space along the east side of the corridor for a much wider greenway,, like an extension of the RKG. After all...

In addition to the I-93/I-95 Woburn interchange, MassDOT and/or Boston are famous for proposing road and pedestrian projects that somehow fall off the radar and never happen. Ones that come to mind include:: Route 1 realignment/reconfiguration from Squire Road in Revere to the junction with...

Looks like that was the inspiration for this one in the Cambridge Crossing development:

Everything has to look like an antiseptic lab these days, including this public space AND condos.

Establishing more permeable surfaces in urban locations, as well as the need to reduce urban heat islands were, I thought, goals that would be promoted by a city. Apparently not in this project where, as you say, the war on green spaces has prevailed.

I totally agree. I hope they never happen. This is an iconic location, and Boston has lately had a couple of really bad designs put up at key locations, and cannot afford another.
