Does anyone have any news on this large project. It has been floating around for a while now.

One billion cars in the world. And if you look at US cities, the number of cars to the number of people is quite astonishing. However, just because one owns a car doesn't mean they drive it every day, or even every week. But our towns, cities, streets, shopping centers, way of life, schools...

The original proposal which was done in compliment with the larger proposal across the street was for a diner with large parking. Although this is not urban oriented and it could be better, I think diners are nice to have in cities, but that niche is already taken by the red arrow. You are...

I would like to point out FLM, that that proposal is on a different piece of land across the street. The city does not own the parking lot next to the house and new Elks, it is owned by some one private I believe. The large building is proposed to be built over the street next tot he glass place...

I may sounds like a broken record, and I think we can all agree, even the city, yet I see little being done. There needs to be a better connection to the riverfront (on both southern Elm near the new hospital and in the mills area, especially the mills) and a better connection or path along the...

I think it could be big enough to house the station, with the exception of parking, I think that again with creative design, the building would be large enough. I really do not see the need for anything too big. Bus stations for the buses, and then a trains station for the train and that is...

Yeah, there is actually parking on both sides of the tracks on the WMUR side. I didn't know the bus station would be incorporated in it, but I guess this is a viable option. Granite Street though is just nice now with the upgrades, right off the highway, and is the major entry point to the...

I was taking the boston express today and was wondering why building a train station between N. Commercial St, Bedford St, and Canal St along Granite St. was not considered? There is some plot of land with just grass and something round (which i have no idea what it is) between N. Commercial...

Haha, found this and the pic with the Zakim and all the bike docks is awesome! http://bike-sharing.blogspot.com/2011/07/boston-on-massachusetts-bay-begins-bike.html

Biking is SO MUCH FASTER. I have biked in the past in many busy areas and it is extremely efficient. Faster than driving, and yet you can still travel miles easily and efficiently. A good example is Marthas Vinyard how so many people choose to bike vs. bring their car. I look forward to seeing...

Practicality: When buildings get this tall, elevator cables are too heavy (magnetic elevators may make this problem go away), the cost for the building is not practical. Which would someone like me rather see (I usually look at this from an environmental point of view with saving as much land...

never been to novia scotia, would love to go.

So is it true that there is no longer a ferry form ME to Novia Scotia and one must drive through Canada to get there? A friend told em this yesterday and this is hard for me to believe. There must be some ferry going form somewhere in NE to Novia Scotia.

all of these are amazing photos!

This is very old, from 2002. But have not seen it here on the thread. http://www.manchesternh.gov/website/portals/2/departments/planning/projects/Civic%20Center%20Area%20Planning.pdf It seems to have some good ideas, most of which have not yet been implemented at all. I like the residential...

that is kinda cool.

I think that some places do try this, maybe not so much Boston. Another example is Stamford with relation to New York. However Boston does have limited transit, and Boston is a big city. Extending public transportation and using new technology may further development outside of the downtown...

Nice. And it is not highjacking, only sharing other info.

I was in Haverhill MA and noticed a new parking garage. It has been being worked on for a long time, I had just never noticed it before. It is next to teh MBTA station in Haverhill. They have this on the cities site http://www.ci.haverhill.ma.us/departments/econ/garage.htm But I can not find...
