Not enough street parking so the need off-street parking.

Re: North-South Rail Link I think NSRL would for the most part benefit New Hampshire, Maine and possibly Vermont most of all since through-service would allow them to avoid taking the MBTA to reach the Acela. Once NSRL was completed, Acela could head to those states more quickly and make them...

Sorry, I typed that, early on before your response and got side tracked before logging back in and posting it. Thanks for your very thorough post.

Under that logic Back Bay's Pru or Hancock shouldn't exist. Back Bay was all filled in swamp. There's always a way. Similarly, Kendall Sq (as was much of Cambridge) was also marshland that was pumped and pumped and pumped-out over the centuries. Also hence the title of "Cambridge Port" in...

Beacon Park (Rail) Yard, Allston along the Charles River/Worcester Commuter Rail Line. Place Storrow Dr. underground. Move the Turnpike underground. Build about 100 new condos/towns homes or TOD with Silver Line passing through that area with route to Union Sq. Allston.

I've noticed the taste difference... Cambridge is now Quabbin. -- Cambridge Begins Temporary MWRA Water Usage 10/11/2016 http://www.cambridgema.gov/Water/newsandevents/News/2016/10/cambridgebeginstemporarymwrawaterusage.aspx The Cambridge Water Department (CWD) carefully monitors the City’s...

Highways are maxed-out and subway system has no express tracks to move more people quickly. Commuter Rail running every 45 mins - 1 hour and using it as an inter-city subway does not an alternative make. Boston needs a true underground subway link that circles around the outer spokes of the...

Because when you print more money you should have increased exports to back it up.

Not likely. If Cambridge stops using it as a Reservoir, we lose-it, along with Payson Park in Belmont so we are told. The lake off Route 128 acts as additional backup for Fresh Pond...

Unfort. not if one focuses on an inflow pipe/intake zone. One doesn't need the whole lake.

Privatize the whole thing. The MBTA keeps adding stations too to make matters worse. Yawkey Way was added. Brighton is being added. Who knows if more will be added in Newton. It's going to get slower because Commuter Rail is getting treated like a subway line.

Logan in jeopardy? HUH? Almost all of Boston at one time was water. All you do is take some clean dirt. When the life of the existing runways has run its course, raise the land elevation by 4-5 feet which buys you another 100 years or so until time to redo the runway again. I am planning...

Didn't the aquarium just drop some large stones in the back and expand out into/over the Harbor?

The Northbound off-ramp to Charlestown is unusual in that it exits on the left hand side of the road (next to the fastest lane) of I-93.

There's always the potential for that great earthquake that Boston is supposed to be hit by at some point. If there's a lot of damage the city might get a huge do-over for a lot of things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1755_Cape_Ann_earthquake

WOW. I love this! Edmonton, Alberta, Canada is moving to complete one of the largest mixed-use entertainment districts in North America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkGwEA0HY-s&list=PLq9R1lQOpZeIXQ-aEwlYW80fLyZjfsLPD

I can't find the plans any longer. But the Logan2000 Airport Expansion project had originally planned for a monorail to be built around the airport which would sit atop of the passenger bridges between the terminals. Part of the plan was to have this monorail goto South Station. If my memory...

Getting people to use spreadsheets is futile. People will do as-far as their job description and no further. Just the way it is. But if you're the type of person that likes to do your work and other's work I'd wish you luck in spearheading that.

I don't know about LAZ. But anything an MBTA Employee is "short" is taken out of their paychecks. I used to distribute the "shorts" which informed how short they were and what would be coming out of their pay.

I was told by someone who was looking for apartments in the area that the inside looks very nice despite what outside looks like.
