Would it be possible for the CP branch to use that new bridge from Summer street behind the power plant, or is that reserved for trucks using the Conley terminal? I'm imagining this route getting stuck in traffic anywhere south of E. First st.

In some of the Urban Ring discussions of having the Greenline on the Grand Junction thru Kendall, F-line you've talked about burying the B line from Blandford to BU, and having the Grand Junction/Ring section connect at the grassy knoll between BU Bridge and the Pike. As a phase 1 to reduce...

The DT between Walpole and Norfolk seems to stop at 115 crossing. Will Norfolk ever get a second platform in an RER world?

Don’t need to start digging just need Greenline UR and you can ping from Lechemere to Kendall

I've long felt like this Boylston/Mass Ave intersection has so much potential to be a great place (is Square the wrong word?). With the Parcel 12 and Parcel 13 plans updating the subway stop, this could/should be a real destination. The presence of the highway and chain link fences on the...

If they ever extended the Union Sq branch to Porter, would they consider an intermediate stop at the Dane St. overpass? Don't know if its too close to Union Sq stop, but it seems to be geogrpahically about the middle of the 2 stations. There's decent commercial activity north of the tracks...

I still don't understand why the D st. side wasn't built out to the street, but left a huge gap?

but the fact remains that the Hub resident tower didn't HAVE to reduce the height, they were approved for 659. They could have gone ahead and built that. Again, i'm not advocating for taller here for the sake of height, but specifically for taller as a tool for better appearance/perspective in...

I wish they had gone the full allowed height on the res tower just for the sake of being that much taller than the office tower, the difference in height would have been much more visually impactful. The renders i've seen have them close to the same height

F-line, what about Binney St? Would they likely put in an overpass if they overpassed Broadway? Or is this crossing not an issue?

F-line...I believe you've mentioned this before in another thread I can't seem to find, but from google earth it appears there is room for 2 green Line tracks (coming from lechmere) to stop at Sullivan sq just west of the orange line tracks. Would the green line UR then duck under the orange...

Phase 2 is basically on top of a subway, commuter rail station and interstate hwy. How bout they cut the parking garage and save some money on the decking...

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett Sprucing up lower Broadway? Maybe they'll leave room for dedicated bus lanes in both directions. https://commonwealthmagazine.org/economy/wynn-spend-90m-land-near-casino/

Haven't heard anyone mention the JFK/Umass station area. K circle needs to be fixed, but access to T, Commuter rail and 93 (access to Logan) is right there, there is tons of available land with the Bayside redev, we've heard the request for a "Harvard Sq." style neighborhood. There seems to be...

I wonder why they didn't choose to do the main tower on the parking lot next door and the shorter one over the pike where it presumably would have been a less expensive deck.

I'm still disappointed in this project, not as a piece of architecture in and of itself (I think it's decent compared to its contemporaries in the city), but RELATIVE to its potential. I wasn't expecting it to be the Flatiron in Manhattan, but the combination of 1.) the shape of the parcel 2.)...

Regarding the issue about replacing Reggie Wong park, I wonder if they could deck over the open air portion of 93 South just east of Albany St., and just put new bball/volleyball courts over that. Seems like it would'nt cost much in decking if you only needed to support these courts, and that...

Great pic. The one, admittedly nitpicky drawback of this development is that the "retail alley" of Congress st. won't align with Canal st. when the garage is gone, but rather Friend st., which is less pedestrian friendly than Canal. Perhaps the Forecaster building and whatever goes on that...

In addition to the CVS building, what about the garage right next to it on Herald St? Although I'm sure whoever owns the garage is making good money off it, seems like a prime redev candidate. Anyone know if this is included in the updated zoning area?

(Emphasis mine) I completely agree with this sentiment, but am curious how they'd do this, with the school and ball fields behind it. If they do redevelop the Whittier projects it would be nice if Ruggles Street became a better connection, though that might require development of both sides of...
