Is this supposed to look like wood?

I thought this too, though they are just a startup, so maybe they just haven't put any money/resources into website design yet, and have focused on product development. I'd say don't be fooled by their website. They won last year's MassChallenge grand prize and was recently named by MassTLC as...

Probably of more interest to rail fans than anything else, but this company is using my s/w from mine and I came across their website, curious if MBTA is working with them at all considering they're Boston based. http://www.rail-pod.com/

Finally got my first look at this thing in person yesterday. Was expecting it to extend a little closer to Franklin street, I guess just from looking at all the pictures on this thread. So its footprint is a little bit smaller than I was expecting. Very excited for this thing to be moving...

Lets build the N-S Link, that will take care of extra capacity at South Station!

I wonder how long it will be before we see this puppy start to poke its head out from this view across the river.

Re: Parcel 25 (South Bay) ^as long as both proposals were competent, and i don't remember either well enough to say whether they were, I don't see any reason why they can't just be re-examined and choose one. These 2 companies showed the interest and took the time/effort to draw up their...

Re: I-90 Interchange Improvement Project (Allston) So is West station going to be an eventual stop for LRV UR? I thought the plan for Urban Ring was for it to connect with the B line. But this seems to indicate that GJ would lead into West station. I'm confused here.

Re: I-90 Interchange Improvement Project (Allston) "Gov. Patrick said if the Grand Junction could be put into service, that could one day lead to service from Allston to Assembly Row in Somerville." LRV Urban Ring would be a better and more likely scenario IMO

Such a beautiful shot. Can't wait for Copley Tower to be in here!

Re: Parcel 25 (South Bay) Dave I was thinking the same thing, let one of the developers use private money to build something over this parcel, and then have the school be one of the tenants. You stated the idea much more eloquently, I'm guessing the school directors want to have their own...

BPLange7, welcome. Your idea might not be crazy enough for this thread ;) Theres another thread for more realistic pitches.

Re: Parcel 25 (South Bay) So will this parcel go out to bid again? Will the 2 bids that were submitted in 2012 be reconsidered, or are those dead? I'd like to see something similar to Parcel 24 here; namely, tall affordable (by affordable i mean non-luxury) housing, with ground floor retail...

Will all of the parking lots left of and below Parcel 9 eventually get redeveloped too? It seems to make sense that "Grand Union Boulevard" would have buildings on both sides.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Can't we get this thing to 800 feet please? I'm sure the FAA wouldn't have any problems with that! Glad Piano is on this thing, not sure if i'm in the minority here but I loved his design on the original proposal.

Re: One Canal (formerly Greenway Center, Bullfinch Triangle) God bless you and your camera kz!

I love that first pic DZH!

Difference here is that there are 2 other E-W highways to absorb the traffic, one north of the hwy in question and one south. If 128 was shutdown in MA, I can't imagine where all that traffic would go.

This. They don't patch small holes, they rip up the entire rectangular slab of concrete and lay whole new ones. But the where the slabs meet, there is a seam that always seems to get torn up quickly by plows or just lots of traffic.

I live right near this, and am surprised it happened so quickly, I thought it was supposed to take a few more months. A lot of people that live near the highway were complaining early on that the crews were extremely loud, even into the night, so this must have been a 24 hour a day operation...
