    Amazon HQ2 RFP

    Not sure where the proposal is located, but Potomac is within 30min of both Dulles and Reagan on a good day. Gaithersburg and Rockville definitely aren't. I'm assuming they didn't include a bridge to make getting to Dulles quicker (...

    Amazon HQ2 RFP

    DC Suburbs and Dallas both have strong existing tech scenes around cloud computing. Depending on the focus of the new campus, they could be interesting for the existing population of engineers. The three entries all clustered around DC are interesting to me because Amazon didn't for instance...

    Fairmount Line Upgrade

    That's the way the MA legislature works. Almost all laws passed in 2018 will be bills introduced in January 2017. There is a 2 year session and if your issue is not emergency legislation, it generally has to be introduced by January 20, 2017. (See the schedule for the session at...

    Allston Square | 372 Cambridge St | Allston

    probably deserves its own thread, maybe once there's an actual PNF. Right now, bldup just has photos that they took from the ArchBoston Allston-Brighton thread. So, hardly any news of substance.

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    Re: new buses So, you think the Proterra press releases are objective? And you think Proterra should supply the order for 194 buses to the MBTA when that is close to the number of buses they have received orders for in the history of the company? And if we just count buses they've built, 194...

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    Going through Park Street is much slower than if you combine a bus into the route. Saying that just shows a lack of familiarity with a bus system where taking the 66 from Harvard Square to Brookline, or to connect with the D line to ride out into Newton, is significantly quicker, even in rush...

    The figure on the left shows the 2009 master plan for the area, which in the red shape is a parking garage. In the proposal, on the right, is the residential and hotel in the red shape instead.

    Quabbin & MWRA Water & Sewer

    Re: Quabbin Fishing They just want your motor to run long enough to flush the water through your engine for long enough to do the decontamination. They wouldn't have any issues with you showing up with a battery powered motor, as long as it has enough juice to do the decontamination.

    74M (EDGE Assembly Sq.) | 74 Middlesex Ave | Somerville

    One time, I'm pretty sure Matt Danish shared a photo somewhere of there being back-in angled parking historically on Beacon St by the Common. More related to modern Somerville, Bow Street in Union Square has had back-in angled parking for about 5 years. Many people like back-in angled parking...

    East Boston Infill and Small Developments

    Proposed Amazon HQ is in a direction/location where there is tons of capacity. Capacity constraints are going to downtown in the morning and back out in the evening. Eastbound has tons of capacity in the morning rush hour and Westbound does have room for growth from Wonderland to the proposed...

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    Who says Harvard won't be ready? Harvard can't put shovels in the ground on Allston Landing South until the interchange is done, so they are pushing ahead on Allston Landing North (at least the portions of that which aren't surrounded by a Pike ramp). By the time the interchange is done, I would...

    $34.50 toll for 10 miles of travel in Northern Virgi8nia

    Not sure why it would have that impact. Before yesterday: HOV-2 only, single occupancy illegal Yesterday: HOV-2 is free, single occupancy pays a toll. So, the only people who pay a toll are people who were not allowed to use the road before yesterday. The idea is to allow a single occupancy...
