    That addition to the project would have been a welcome one...

    Assembly Sq <-> Casino Footbridge

    If it's supposed to support the bridge/path... why put it at the entrance farthest from?

    Biking in Boston

    Eh - I've noticed the marked difference in city drivers learning and now looking to expect bikers around them in Boston/Camb/Sville, and some in outer metro bike network. You can even see drivers in Saugus starting to slow down near bike path crossings. My guess is tourists definitely don't...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    So that's where I get stuck. Heavy rail makes sense to have a suburban access terminus, so Rt 2 or 128 makes sense. But the density of Arlington really is only appropriate for light rail. So if we look at the potential extension questions: 1. Does GLXPorter make sense? Yes - for connectivity...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    Keep your plan of Red from Davis up Mass Ave and skip Alewife. I despise Alewife - it's just a terrible clusterfuck, the building is falling down, and its primary purpose is to support further out suburbs and bus connections. You can't get rid of it without 2 features. 1 - adding a larger...

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    They screwed this up in a number of locations - not sure why road crossing locations were so hard to figure out. The brand new generator next to the Somerville High School is probably the most egregious "why didn't you move it 20 feet over?"

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    The "peeling" facade is just so soo bad. Walking with somebody last week who asked if the panels were falling out. What a mess.

    Eli Lilly IGM | 15 Necco Street | Fort Point

    I do still wish the "solar sail" had made the cut, but this tech-industrial style channel frontage appropriately elevates the design standard for the rest of the to-be-developed parking lots and post office.

    Foundation Medicine (Parcel P) | 400 Summer Street | Seaport

    That's too bad. I was really looking forward to this "canyon stairway" blocking the open highway. The walk from the convention center right now is terrible. The wayfinding is really bad with the path to World Trade Center blocked off and all the sidewalks blocked. Prior to this construction...

    Suffolk Downs Redevelopment | East Boston/Revere

    Went by this last night before dinner on Revere beach - even the first building of this development is going to immediately change the dynamics of this neighborhood adding hundreds right on the T. Already it was great to see how busy and full of life on a Sunday night the restaurants and...

    5 is nice, but there's a 12 story building right across the street....

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Coommmmmonn Rapid7 - get your name up there! Let's get more homegrown companies up on the skyline - not one that makes you feel miserable like Verizon.

    Assembly Square Infill and Small Developments | Somerville

    See - the uggo Alta Revolution will already be a background building within a year of it's completion.

    Woburn infill and small developments

    For anybody else confused about where this is... it's the North side of Anderson, and YES, it is connecting to the parking lot.

    Union Square Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    Great catch @SomervilleRed . I love comparing the apparent attention to detail and tighter build in the old Leins autobody shop (Passiv Haus goal) vs its neighbor at the old Thunder road. Which do you think will match the render better? Any bets that the rent will be the same, but drastically...

    Somerville High School Renovation & Expansion | 81 Highland Ave | Somerville

    So much that they should have reconsidered the GARAGE for the high school. It would have eliminated all the bickering about teacher parking vs bike lanes on Highland Ave.

    Idea for fixing the housing shortage

    Couldn't find a better thread... More than 1,300 apartments will fill an empty office building in Lower Manhattan, making it the biggest residential conversion project in the country, its owners say. The building at 25 Water St. was once home to the Daily News and JPMorgan Chase, which...

    AC Hotel by Marriott | 1 McGrath Highway | Somerville/Cambridge

    I'm not how they're going to thread the needle for the bike path connection, but I'm all for it!
