    Connected/Automated vehicles and infrastructure in Boston

    Only one edit, not just first, but all. Transportation would become a utility. Used on demand without any ownership by the user. Do people like cars or do they like the independence of getting from place to place on their own terms? Give them an option with as much flexibility without the...

    Biking in Boston

    all correct in the above post. The idea (right or wrong) was to shorten the crossings (through the wider sidewalks) and have 1 stage pedestrian crossings (the previous signal timings was 2 stages to get across, legally). Putting a raised median back in would encourage peds to jaywalk and cross...

    Rutherford Avenue to go on a diet!

    For Sullivan, the community has never agreed on a concept. it has always been divided between people that want vehicle capacity at all costs (keep the 4 lane underpass, add lanes on the surface) and those that want complete streets and make the area part of the neighborhood. This has been...

    Leggat McCall | BHA Bunker Hill | Charlestown

    It's 1600 more units. There are approx 1100 currently. That doesn't change your point though, just clarifying.

    Flynns Auto Salvage | Sullivan Square

    25% plans for the redesign should soon be or have recently been submitted to massDOT. the planning process has been more than 10 years. Im surprised the parcels in/around Sullivan werent sold long ago as the general concept plan has been kicking around for years (the last change being back to...

    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    How is this amazing? It's not the developments responsibility to provide the blueway. AND the blueway is NOT even possible without the development as the blueway uses land currently occupied by the garage. The amazing thing is how somebody that is good at speaking and presenting can make a...

    Melnea Cass Blvd

    There original design included center running brt lanes. Public didn't want it so it was removed. This goes back 10 years or so. The whole point was to better connect this neighborhood to hook centers.

    Rutherford Avenue to go on a diet!

    the grid system is coming back. without the tunnel there were far too many lanes on the surface which would have made it non pedestrian friendly. the underpass is being preserved, but becoming much shorter in length. the state decided that 99 was a commuter route and didnt want to shut off...

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Garage has to be down before occupancy of this office building. It's not a simple task with the amount of activity that occurs underneath it (road, bus stop, subway entrance).

    Widett Circle Development, so it begins.

    I think most of us would love to talk about Widett. you are the one derailing the thread with what you perceive is the impact the BPDA has had on this process. lets talk nuts and bolts. what would you want to see here? for development? for the T facilities?

    Underground station layouts

    these are great, thanks. this is the only 1 Ive ever seen. I do not know if its accurate or not (Haymarket orange line isnt aligned with platform, Park St red line doesnt seem correct).

    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    my only point was that the video is somewhat off topic for this thread as its not development project specific. I will say though, its on the district wharf council website and was uploaded to youtube by them. so they are taking some ownership of it.
