Thinking about improving commuter rail service frequency and availability, especially with SCR's clogging on the horizon - are there any other lines where double-tracking would open up more frequencies or even extensions? But this question is asked in bad-faith, god-mode context: where tunneling...

I couldn't find this on here - but from what I read on this - Middleborough/Lakeville will remain open for seasonal CapeFLYER service - is this still the case? I suppose it's a win win to keep this if the ridership is there from M/L on the slow trudge to Hyannis... Something I think I look...

I would still hazard a guess our supply is much below demand compared to similar high wealth/income, real-estate-value-leading places such as Manhattan, Seattle, Miami, and so on. Just the notion that we're getting our first of certain luxury hotel chains in Seaport behind other cities at...

This is a very valid fear...! I hope it doesn't outweigh their level of development. I'm cynical so I think more talk around this would help

Everett is really in the right place for a lot of great progressive building and bullish development in the next few years. Other cities need to take notes! I really think Everett is primed to be the next destination for residential/office/lab/commercial buyers alike, in about 10-15 years. I'm...

I think this could be a useful discussion that if anyone's interested, could veer into the thread where we discuss why we don't build taller in Boston... What were some of the input variables that led to this building and its height being possible? Some that I'm considering include: 1. The FAA...

Nice addition proposed for East Boston Neighborhood Health in Maverick Square, making goof use if overhead building https://www.neighborhealth.com/en/about-us/newspress/special-projects/20-maverick-square-addition-to-increase-access-to-patient-care.html

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/9-Chelsea-St-Boston-MA-02128/401896059_zpid/?utm_campaign=androidappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare This is for sale - which leads me to think the proposed development is off the table? Interesting update for Maverick Square

New Taco Bell Cantina is proposed for the first floor of the new 6 story building in Maverick Square. It definitely is getting mixed feedback... In my opinion as well as others' deductions, the thing that leaves these high-rent restaurant spaces open is the lack of tenants who will pay that...

This area is about to get very dense and even more TOD, once the space with the failing strip mall with BK, Subway, Rent a Center, and Rockland Trust and empty parking is sold off and turned into denser 4/5 story retail/residential.

Exactly. I think the past 3 years I've been here, the opening soon poster outside and wait has been going almost the whole time. Seemed pretty DoA. I liked the concept as well

As of now - there is empty space at 2-10 Maverick Square in the ground/2nd floor restaurant space with no update of a tenant - I assume some stalemate of high rent or something, or liquor license issues. Cafe Gloria on Maverick Street, is still seeking fundraising from customers à la...

Another 4 story stuck in on the quiet little dirt road in Eastie that could, Geneva St. I love how this quiet, private, dirt street is developing densely

Front and back of a newly squeezed in Everett St 4 floor residential close to Maverick Square and the East Boston Greenway. Fun fact is this is abutting a couple of private way alleys, one of which is grass/dirt that leads to a footpath that goes through Eastie Farm. This is among a couple...

This has been one brewing for a bit, which I'm not sure if anyone has gone through. This only fits in this thread, in my opinion - a median-(concrete?) pole-supported elevated (some points with w poles on sides) rail (similar type rolling stock to K/Crenshaw line in LA) from Beachmont down 145...

This is kind of a crazy one mainly for the legwork and lack of necessity. Just an exercise on space and transit routing improvement. My crazy pitch here is to build a stop-short Cambridge MBTA Commuter Rail terminal on part or all of the current north side maintenance yard. Connect this with...

This is beautiful and maybe deserves its own thread! We need to keep building higher and keeping retail on the first floor on these 1 floor retail plazas! Now, if the red line could be faster and the Old Colony Lines with double-tracking and electrification (more on that in the appropriate...

From East Boston 6/24

Taller than a 5 over 2. The disgraceful height in this quaint neighborhood! And the wasteful spend!
