For all of these projects the the underground drainage must be at least somewhat rebuilt all while keeping half of the road functioning for cars. At the very least it requires relocating catchbasins, installing new drainage piping and frequently new manholes to intersect with the existing...

Re: Lowell 2015 update Option 3 is nothing less than a traffic planner's wet dream and a vulnerable road users worst nightmare. I love how the advance yield lines "sharks teeth" are located at the travel lane merge not before the crosswalk - 'cus it's OK to slam your car into a lowly...

Thanks Bigeman312!

Even in Salt Lake City they have problems with the Fire Department and cycle tracks: "compliance with the International Fire Code. It calls for a minimum width of 20 feet in each direction. Where buildings are over 30 feet high, the code calls for a 26-foot minimum width so that ladder trucks...

the Brookline Advisory Committee postponed a vote to fund the Beacon St buffered bike lane last week. They sent an email explaining their decision to postpone the vote: "As you may have heard, the Advisory Committee postponed consideration of the Beacon Street bike lane. The Capital...

A very worthwhile read about a better plan for late-night service by Ari Ofsevit, Jeremy Mendelson, and James Aloisi: http://commonwealthmagazine.org/transportation/our-plan-for-late-night-t-service/

Well, I couldn't figure out who to support (if only Bernie would wear his red beret...) so I voted against DT. I still don't feel good about voting for someone who believes in spontaneous generation to the point that he thinks women come from kitchens.

Aesthetically, I really wish this didn't look so much like a freeway ramp. Gotta wonder how hard it would be to rework the elevator to have a stop for the ped bridge. I don't know how many doors the current elevator has, I think the max is two doors. But I think that most people in a...

Nice Massing! And use of materials to lessen the sense of scale. I would prefer to see only one entrance to the parking and not have one through the building - it would help improve Green St.

Data, why wouldn't they do this as a design-bid-build project? Or does that approach take too much time to design? edits for typos galore!

Scipio, Don't know about Lowell, but a friend told me yesterday that the BFT is also being extended to Concord. I haven't tried to find any news articles to verify it.

And the best part is, the U and S will be designed soon to complete the Tri-Tower! Of course we need more urban eagles, perhaps a whole eagle building to make a quartet to keep this guy busy for a while!

Well, there is supposed to be a DCR bridge over the Charles to eliminate the need to walk the locks at some point in the future. Also the cantilever ped bridge off the rolling bridges should get built when the bridges are replaced. I was told during the Connect Historic Boston meetings that...

'cause, you just can't make this stuff up. Warning, best viewed with an empty stomach. http://www.citylab.com/design/2016/03/the-tackiest-architecture-vasily-klyukin-cobra-tower/473946/

The Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) has weighed in about the City of Boston's decision to dismantle and store the NAB: "The MHC concurs with the Army Corps of Engineer's determination that the proposed project will have an "adverse effect" on the Northern Avenue Bridge. The MHC...

Parkside on Adams is finished, units are selling. Roslindale Village Main Street has moved into the first floor space fronting Washington St and Adams Park. I'm still hoping that this development team will renovate the old sub-station, that was a big reason for this development, but there...

As of last night, the 39 was still operating from the old green line loop, just north of the station - pretty much where it has always been. The ten or so other lines heading to Rozzie and Dedham are in the temporary upper busway location which is close to the old upper busway location
