Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos If your Charlie Card expires but still has value on it go to the T service center at Downtown Crossing. They will figure what you have left then issue a new card with that balance on it.

Re: Parcel 9 - The Greenway But the size of Boston versus New York City should not matter in this case. What matters is how much history the city has to put on display and Boston is rich in history. Even Mass General is opening its own museum in April.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) They finally put up the new website at northpointcambridge.com that was supposed to be done in the Fall of 2011. Hope to see a lot of activity this year.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) But the Site Overview diagram that is posted for the Maple Leaf Lofts uses the old version from back in 2006. The newer version has First Street curved over to the right and lots A, B, C, I and others are smaller...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) Sorry that I don't have any renderings. They showed us diagrams of the new plans and then put them away to continue the meeting. The drawings of the new apartment building were supposed to represent massing only. Hopefully...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) Attended a condo meeting yesterday where some new plans for NorthPoint were shown. The blocks are now smaller and the retail portion is moved closer to the new Lechmere Station. A 19-story apartment building with over 300...

Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 We are having a Northpoint meeting on October 5th. The new developers are going to speak about the plans for Northpoint. I am curious to see if they have made any plans with the MBTA.

I noticed a large red crane off Route 93 that looks as if it is in Everett not far from the power plant. A large wind turbine is being constructed. Sorry did not have my camera plus I was driving on 93.

I was down there last Saturday after watching the Red Bull diving competition at the ICA. As previous photos have shown the big draws were the carousel, fountains and anywere else there was something to do or look at. The grassy areas were mostly unused except for the occasional dog walker...

Thanks so much for posting these videos. Most of us would never be able to see construction that close. It makes you appreciate how dangerous it is to be a construction worker.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) Correct. I live in the Tango building facing the park.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) The pond is just a retention pool. The brick towers with the gables are Museum Towers. They used to be rental units but now they are condos. They also are not part of North Point. So far the North Point development has two...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) Nice photos. North Point Park has yet to be discovered by many people. It is popular with dog walkers and persons that work nearby. The park in North Point (second park) looked empty when you took the photos. However it does...

Is anybody else tired of brick median strips with haphazardly placed planters? What about some small trees or something else to liven up the place?

Partners runs shuttle busses to Charlestown Navy Yard since they have a lot of labs in Building 149. That should help if they add a stop at the new Spaulding. Otherwise there would be a lot of traffic since there is only one way in and out of the area.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) Prices start at around $300,000 for a studio. I have seen some sell for a little less than that but the developer does not seem to be reducing prices that much. Of course persons who qualify for the affordable units get...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) Yes, that is correct. People are buying more of the units in Tango since the condos have different floor plans. Sierra is all loft style condos. Sales have picked up since we have a new salesperson. But as of now the...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) The latest update that we have was from the spring 2011 newsletter. The developers are in the initial phase of designing a rental high rise which is expected to start construction within the next 18 months. Lot U has opened...

This is the Founders Building of MGH. Ambulances may go here or at other places around the hospital campus to pick up or drop off patients who are not having an emergency but need to travel by ambulance only because of a fragile medical condition. It helps to ease traffic at the front entrance.

The traffic at Mass General can be pretty bad. But when the Lunder Building opens ambulances will have a covered area to pick up and drop off patients for the first time. They will enter the Lunder building at one end, drop off patients at the emergency room, then exit onto that small street...
