these were painted last night

you will know the garage is about to start to come down when the bus station underneath is moved. keep an eye out for signs going up that alert bus passengers to the impending changes...

from this article: https://thebostonsun.com/2020/07/29/at-long-last-southbound-on-washington-street-is-possible/ the developments in the NY Streets have all been giving mitigation funding for this work. 2 way Washington St is also a good transportation improvement for the area.

streetscape improvements are coming

this looks cool. still cant believe the 7-11/H&R Block site has not come up for redevelopment. that site is huge. even the 1 story liquor store site could be so much more.

you can tell all of that from the rendering? I dont know, that slide alone looks pretty bad ass. there are kids, residents, all around this area (beacon hill, west end, north end). Not to mention all of the tourists, which is enough in itself. why is there a (heavily used) playground in the...

L5. L3 and L6 are not big enough foot prints and are not permitted for office.

FYI on BTD policy for developments from https://www.boston.gov/sites/default/files/file/2021/01/EV Readiness Policy For New Developments_1_1(1).pdf: this has been in place for about a year ('Large Project' below is referring to Article 80 status).

the filing states that further changes will be coming as leases expire. check out the quote picked out by UHub: https://www.universalhub.com/2021/proposed-240-unit-residential-building-wrapped

If Im remembering correctly, this was done as of right per zoning.

yes, totally for the post above. Isnt it amazing that the suburbs are now trying to replicate the urban experience with mixed use 'downtowns' to keep the same demographic from moving back into the cities.

seems the intent of my post wasnt perceived as I meant. Im not trying to prove anybody wrong. I understand/agree there are difficulties involved and Im not attempting to minimize or disregard them. Im not even taking a position 1 way or another if it can happen, my only position is that it...

there is a 25 year old in Florida who is worth more than 2 Billion dollars as of last week and a lot of car companies of the world that would disagree with you. Im not choosing a side (just pointing out potential benefits that havent been mentioned) and Im certainly not putting a timeline on...

Completely agree with all of this. But thats completely changing the discussion. My post and the posts I was responding to were about whether humans or computers would operate vehicles more efficiently. If the vehicles became more efficient travel lanes could be removed. Even without that...

all of those things happen now. The question is whether computers in constant contact with each other would be able to respond more efficiently than humans operating mostly independent of each other.

'self driving' is not where the efficiencies in utilization will occur. communication amongst the vehicles is how the utilization will improve. The vehicles talking to each other will allow for much better responses among a group of vehicles than the current individual system we have now where...

video shows the garage will be coming down as the building is about half way. 1:05 mark shows the garage starting to come down and it then uses the inset video to show the garage coming down as the building continues to rise in the main shot.

the view of all these cranes from Austin St in Charlestown is pretty impressive.

just take a stroll down 'street view' memory lane. the article has a pic of bike temp markings down (and not complete) in Dec 2010. the road is repaved in spring 2011 and bike lanes go in. 7 years after that, the outbound bike lane is taken out. I didnt use the outbund one when it was in and...

who wants to be jammed in 4' wide unprotected bike lane between travel and parking? take the lane, its much safer.
