    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    The fake trains are brutal. Got on a "Union" train at Arlington. Kicked off at Govt Center. Got on another - kicked off at Lechmere. Finally got one to Union. Why bother?

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Great- that intersection suuucks as a pedestrian/biker. Now that it's a bus connection it's even more important to promote safer T access.

    🔹 What's Happening With Project X?

    Big article in the Globe on the MGH expansion breaking ground. What is the status of the Red-Blue connector? Is MGH including the headhouse as part of the expansion?

    Copper Mill Development | Elm Street and Grove Street | Davis Square

    Labs are built differently - less dense, more energy intensive, and less street interaction. Also have very large and loud 24 hour exhausts, and more controlled loading docks. Anecdotally, occupants typically come in and stay for the duration of work hours, and have fewer visitors than an office...

    Copper Mill Development | Elm Street and Grove Street | Davis Square

    Boooo. Not because of the project or even the loss of some neighborhood favorites. It's another lab, in a spot that should be something much more interesting. I loved the student housing. I'd be happy with suite housing. It would be an interesting spot for senior housing. If WeWork is still...

    Chelsea Infill and Small Developments

    A grid storage facility or battery manufacturing? Wholly unsubstantiated idea - Form Energy just got a LOT of cash.

    Not that this is a good solution... but my facilities have been quoted many months for custom glass installs.

    Suffolk Downs Redevelopment | East Boston/Revere

    I think it fits well with the rest of Revere Beach - it is a brand new bright and beachy development under 0.5 mile from the beach and a boardwalk. Restaurants/retail a block from a Stop&Shop, and right next to the very dense Beachmont neighborhood, and built to integrate well with the upcoming...

    I like that the hole is filling in... but another uneven stack of books?!?

    Northland Newton | Needham St. @ Oak St. | Newton

    Similar to others - I'm unimpressed with the urban design and apparent lack of future-proofing here. There is a confusing street grid, the connection to Needham Street is misaligned from existing roadways, and there is no clear set-aside for a proper connection to a green line station. What a mess.

    E-Scooter Rentals in MA

    Do I hate that bad bike riders will now be fast bad bike riders? Do I love that I would not despise biking up my neighborhood hill on those heavy blue creatures?

    975 Boylston | Mass DOT Parcel 13 | Boylston & Mass Ave | Back Bay

    Are they looking at the same facade as in the render?

    Domino Sugar Redevelopment | 425 Medford Street | Charlestown Waterfront

    Weird that Ten hills gets a tag, but Sullivan doesn't. EDIT: Defined by census tract (not zip), selected through nomination by the governor, and certified by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury via delegation of that authority to the Internal Revenue Service.

    Charlestown Infill and Small Developments

    Is there a good place to put the Charlestown Master Plan? There are some good demonstrations for scenario planning in the storymap: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/fa48f4dacaa84144a854fa1808ad9902

    Medford Life Science Park | 278-326 Mystic Avenue | Medford

    "An earlier [40B] multifamily proposal drew objections from Medford Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn who noted that the city’s commercial-industrial tax base was at an all-time low of 10.6 percent." Medford has been left out in the cold on the commercial building boom. This location is one for the few...
