Looks like building 1 is nearing completion.

A letter of intent for a new residential development (300+ units) in Allston was just posted. Here is the lot for 22-24 Pratt Street:

I don’t remember if the dollar tree on Comm Ave. predates the closing of the one in that plaza (did it move from there to Comm Ave, or are they unrelated?). I’ve alternated between assuming that HomeGoods will come back once the new buildings done, and assuming they are just gone. Across...

Correct, that is the redevelopment at the corner of Corey Rd and Jordan Rd. http://www.bostonplans.org/projects/development-projects/249-corey-road

Is there a good reason for this bit of zoning? It seems kinda arbitrary to me.

I really want to like this development (and I want it to be called “Wallston Landing”) but I’m torn. - street activation: great - connection to Everett St. bridge: great - tiny park: good - residential component: good - giant wall: don’t love it - disjointed facades (colorful facing...

I guess this isn’t a new idea. This article from 3+ years ago says that the Loeb center would be used by the college easing demands on the Saunders theatre, and providing more space for FAS performance and teaching with the relocation of the ART professional company. This seems like a better...

Harvard is looking to move the A.R.T. to Barry’s Corner. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/9/25/american-repertory-theater-allston/

Construction on 35 Braintree st. is well underway so next august seems reasonable. (See below)

I walk by this place regularly, and I think it looks good. There are some nice details in the facade that I don’t think the pictures capture.

I’m glad I don’t need to travel west of Albany any time soon: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/unstable-upstate-ny-building-interrupts-some-amtrak-service/3801319/?amp=1

That’s good to hear. Did you get a sense of how confident they are that the transit way will make it through to the end? The amount of pushback last night was not insignificant.

I’m pleased that the transitway is still part of the plan. The Q&A session had a mix of thoughtful questions, airing of grievances, and panic about change. One of the first questions got to my main concern which was, if one of the two buses that uses this transitway (86) remains low frequency...

I’m glad to see some movement on this again. I was interested to read that the whole foods will remain open through construction.

Would this do anything alleviate or worsen bunching in the central subway? Would it be better to to create a new light rail line on the grand junction?

What’s a “woonerf?”

i snagged some pictures of the dollar tree/HomeGoods rubble.

based on what I understand of the site plans and my understanding of that station this shouldn’t be much of an issue. The station access points and ped/bike infrastructure should make it unnecessary to get too close the the garage entrance/exits. Station Access/Egress: The East end of the...

I was just waiting at Arlington Street station and noticed theses boxes spaced every 10ish feet. (See below) Does anybody know what they are?

Adding to the good news about the old CVS, farther out on Comm. Ave. Allston-Brighton is also getting this pretty decent redevelopment
