Parcel M1 is MassPort, and they just awarded it to Ocean Havens - Their priority is maintaining it as a deep water ship berth, so it'll become a multipurpose marine terminal.

Barkley Regional, Paducah KY. One airline lead me to EAS carriers, and new terminal doesn't leave many options. Lol, sorry I pulled out the hard ones there; there's a finite number of commercial service airports so was thinking of a way to make it a little more creative, using smaller, unique...

This international arrivals only terminal is possibly one of the least adequate FIS facilities in the US that serves daily intercontinental flights at this airport receiving service from no fewer than 4 foreign carriers. Despite the lack of apparent modern touches like jetbridges, this terminal...

Anyone have any insight into if this and the other Just-a-Start projects in Porter Square are impacting plans for the second phase of Rindge Commons? I've noticed it's disappeared from JAS's upcoming projects page, but phase 2 was meant to provide the bulk of the housing since phase 1 also...

My opinion, we should avoid taking any context from the Encore, which is just the Wynn corporate identity - swoopy brown with tan stripes - airdropped into Everett. Las Vegas, Macau, the UAE... its not meaningfully dissimilar in concept to the corporate look for something like a suburban...

I mean, reading the actual letter the AG wrote - LINK to actual letter being referenced - that is exactly the point of the complaint - the MBTA awarded it to Suffolk without any competition at all, without soliciting additional bids from any of the other contractors. That's kinda textbook...

I'm going to try something new - instead of a full terminal, just this snippet. These uniquely laid out, relatively newly installed jetbridges are some of the longest in North America, ans were installed as an enabling project at this global airport, and may not yet be visible on Google Maps.

Err, please correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe that MPI has been the locomotive division of Wabtec even when they built the HSPs the first time. They have since merged with / bought GE Transportation, but GE Transportation and MPI are both Wabtec companies; MPI's move to its Erie plant...

Despite the fact that the proposed Framingham Logan Express remote terminal hasn't even started its pilot operation yet, Massport has released a RFQ for a CMAR to build a $400m garage and remote terminal for Braintree Logan Express - highlights are 5025 structured spaces replacing 1875 surface...

Err, as for the tower I would point out that it got a $12M Fed grant towards a $20M phase 1 modernization & expansion in early 2024, which clearly anticipates a phase 2 renovation of the whole tower. Its running behind, but the last time I was at logan its fairly obvious that they've started on...

Yep. They rescoped the program but kept the original contract name and number. That RFQ was awarded, but in practice the only thing in it is Ashmont TPSS upgrades. At the time of the phase 1 RFQ you linked, The Mattapan VMF was still only in conceptual planning, and the mattapan TPSS only broad...

I don't think its a straight efficiency problem - I suspect that these are actually less efficient than a general purpose rooftop panel per area, but solar is all about lit surface area. I think the general theory is that most building massing is some form of rectalinear prism with 6 faces, and...

At least In this case it serves a purpose - those are PV panels, one of the first & biggest solar facades in the US. Even those red panels are solar, which apparently supplies 53% of this buildings power needs. I imagine this is a proof of concept in the US, but that would be really interesting...

My opinion on this, after ruminating over it, is that a few things are possible. 1) A plurality of MA residents may be less aware of their respective RTAs than they are of the MBTA. Thus, RTAs provide valuable services that potential riders are unaware of. 2) the RTAs are bad at cross...

Ngl, a transit-led, transit-first state DOT would be amazing. Of the candidates that could make it happen, I think Eng is our best shot - and if his leadership is needed to secure such an operating model, then I'm all for it to continue. In practice I would expect that this status quo remains...

Err, ah... is this actually a new proposal? It seems like a major donation & naming agreement to fund the construction of the previously approved and supposedly U/C inpatient building - See new render from thr globe vs that from the older - Its just more colorful, with some more programatic...

This uniquely laid out regional airport terminal was built during an era where smaller communities like this one were common focus cities for major carriers operating stopping routes; while this terminal postdates the heyday of the king, this now struggling riverfront entertainment city once...

Good shout - I was hoping I struck the right balance with the clues. The United guam based 737 operation, including its NRT 5th freedom sub-hub, is the quirkiest thing in the mainline US air travel network.

This one is probably going to be pretty easy, but there's a lack of high quality aerial imagery. As such, I've chosen a slightly edited photo to remove a glaringly obvious clue. The majority of flights here are on United mainline 737s, which are the only domestic carrier that serves this airport...
