I haven't done it in a while, but why is it dangerous? The T stop and the mall are on the same side of Route 9.

that bridge was just rebuilt last year; what else needs to be done to it?

This is called 'showrooming', and it is rude and parasitic behavior.

Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End Could have been a cool project except what happened to the train station and the Garden?

It is? The rail trail ends in Wellfleet, and I thought that was because the right-of-way no longer exists beyond there.

Any chance they could go further, and connect it under Boylston Street to provide a fully indoor path to the Hynes itself?

Anything that is done here should have as its primary goal making the area more pleasant and safe to walk around. And secondarily, enabling an infill commuter rail station.

I'm from Columbus ... I'd much rather be in Chicago than back there. (And I'd much rather be in either one than in Las Vegas, Atlanta, or Phoenix!)

The I-90 (Allston) interchange redesign could greatly improve the surrounding neighborhood. I don't see any such benefit from fiddling with the 128/93 interchange.

Re: One Bromfield (28-story tower @ DTX) is Payless undamaged and still open?

If you run more Cape Cod trains from Boston, and reinstate the service from NYC and Providence, wouldn't that eliminate the need for any more highway bridges?

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos what, you can outrun the bus from Dawes Island in Cambridge all the way to Western Ave in Allston?

Does this mean it's already closed?

What happened here? I assume the white building on the right used to have a row of glass display windows. The street looks like it has 'good bones' and yet it's derelict.

if Fox25 forecast is to be believed, there will only be about 2 inches of snow before midnight, with the rest coming afterward. So the 2pm closure seems premature.

I'd say that Allston still has very much a "sense of place", but its "hub of activity" is now around the Harvard and Brighton Ave intersection rather than at the old train station location.

What is a 'decoy' tower?

Why didn't the contraflow "lane" arrangement work for the trolleys? Seems like it would keep them out of most of the rotary's congestion --- and maybe it should even be revived for the current buses.

Much of the Pike is underground or covered by buildings in the Back Bay.

There are bus shuttles all over the Waltham office-park area from Alewife station. See http://128bc.org. One of their shuttles also intercepts the Fitchburg line at Waltham Center.
