Old Colony double buffered bike lanes: (Linked from DCR thread) This can't be anywhere close to best practice

Unfortunately, Somerville's plan is to end the cycle track at Washington St, not bring it down to the Cambridge line (presumably because of the difficulty interfacing mid-block with Cambridge's non-cycletracked Hampshire St). I do hope that the Somerville reconstruction and this horrible...

Click the link! It goes the City of Cambridge website (developed by the useless Community Development Department using stupid data that could've organized itself). Under the "Cambridge Workforce" section are 3 documents that answer exactly the questions you're interested in. In 1967, there...

From NextCity:

Whigh, you said the same exact thing on the last page, and it's still ineffective on this page. There's more to a city than housing - as someone who points out the magnificent expansion of Kendall Square every other post, why don't you talk about it here? Cambridge has twice as many employees...

City going ahead with purchasing the now-empty Chamber of Commerce building a few addresses down Mass Ave from City Hall: http://www.cambridgeday.com/2016/06/15/city-council-oks-taking-chamber-building-in-friendly-eminent-domain-proceedings/ It appears to be part of the plan shared in post 2509...

As much as I'd love a cycle track on Cambridge Street (especially since it was my daily commute for 2 years), the Boston Bike Network Plan doesn't include even basic bike lanes for at least five years. It does "plan" for separated bike lanes once Cambridge St turns into Tremont, but that's at...

Possible renovation of city hall, municipal building: http://www.cambridgeday.com/2016/05/20/cambridge-considers-city-hall-renovation-might-acquire-former-offices-of-chamber/ Could add 1-2 stories to the municipal building at 831 Mass Ave. Would also renovate or move the YWCA house behind it:

Grand Junction path segment between Main St and Broadway looks close to opening - anyone have the details?

Sulmona Restaurant & Bar taking a spot here: Will be nice to have another option nearby since Area 4 and Catalyst a block over get packed after work. Will also help stitch together Main St, since right now there's a bit of a dead zone between the western edge of Kendall Square and the start...

Construction financing acquired (BBJ)

I like this take from CantabKBH on reddit last week, namely:

Re: Lowell 2015 update CityLab has a take on the Lord Overpass plan: http://www.citylab.com/cityfixer/2016/04/street-design-models/479343/ I don't know enough about Lowell to understand how the redo will affect the area - but if all it's doing (for cars, at least) is bringing a highway up to...

I've watched this building go up. While I'm no architect, I really like how the windows reference the main glass portion (atrium?), like miniatures next to the real thing. To my eye, by varying the size of the elements it keeps the look interesting without adding the visual clutter of other...

A review of Government Center Station with some mentions of the sprayers. Surprisingly, a quick forum search didn't turn up any mentions of this blog before - a teenager reviewing every T stop and bus line in the system. Still in progress but pretty far along, it seems.

Roxy's A4cade has publicly said they'll be here: http://boston.eater.com/2015/11/5/9674156/roxys-area-four-arcade-cambridge I'm very excited about this. Not only is it an exciting food concept (a mashup of two local favorites), but it also brings something to do to the late night scene.
