How did they get an architect to agree to use brick and to align features across floors? And to not manipulate the facade with kooky boxes and materials? Sadly whoever stamped the drawings will probably lose their license for this. The saving grace, I guess, is the college dorm-style...

I was shocked in Italy when there were local electric trains and interstate electric trains on the same tracks. What a concept!

This is thread derailment, but in terms of MEP, the people going over to datacenters are getting paid far and above the people who work on "regular" work.

So there is a budding conservative movement in Dover most of which is a tax revolt... The same Facebook-Americans are also generally mad about the level of new development. So I think the council doesnt want to stir the pot.

Not to revive this again, but what are people's thoughts on including a bike/ped connection to Chelsea as part of this project if it were rebuilt as a bridge? Does the grade make this infeasible? Currently to bike/walk to Chelsea it requires going through Oil Tank City and Charlestown.

It's just this user's pet term.

A great critique of the liberal habit of holding up process as an end rather than a means. He withholds the name of this officer - a man who literally killed another person - affording him a level of privacy not afforded to the smallest time criminal in Cambridge. He puts himself through all...

Apparently they didn’t have any tenants lined up for this thing so that’s why it never got built. Just heard about it from a buddy.

I agree, this has been a sore spot for me for a long time since I see it every day. One thing people may not appreciate is that this has revealed that they're creating a full parallel bike path between Lechmere/the CP/Community College to the one that's in the park area. The black paved bike...

This one wrapped up very quick. Dogs are already pooping here, saw one this morning

This is going to be a good project, but it's funny that this is almost happening because boston can't rid itself of Storrow. Alternate timeline where Memorial drive exists but Storrow is a local road, you suddenly "can't" road diet this thing. We're lucky Memorial has not been induced-demanded...

Yeah I mean you’re right but the 109 goes right up Washington through Kirkland and the street width doesn’t meaningfully change as you go across the border. And Washington street has bike lanes.

Under the CSO https://www.cambridgema.gov/streetsandtransportation/policiesordinancesandplans/cyclingsafetyordinance/Projects It is not slated to get bike lanes other than a short stretch in front of Memorial hall. It is a little awkward since the Somerville version of it (Washington St) did...

It’s also worth noting that unlike other districts the mid Cambridge district is pretty expansive and covers basically just a ton of streets between Inman and central. Not clear when walking around there why that is other than a land grab of sorts.

https://www.cambridgema.gov/historic/contactforms/historicalcommission Feel free to send a quick email to the historical commission detailing your concerns. They also just voted to delay the Jacobs house development for a year-long landmarking study. If the building is landmarked then it can be...

https://www.cambridgeday.com/2025/08/12/demolition-for-ellery-street-housing-denied-development-to-continued-with-preservation/ The ellery street proposal has been killed by the conservation board, somehow. I didn't know they had the authority to do it. They are requiring any development to do...

If a CR terminal is required we should build NSRL and have the arena over central station by the harbor towers.

He thinks he's JB Pritzker when he's more like... Robert Kraft.

I honestly had no idea that Josh Kraft was an old man because I haven't read articles about him. I thought he was like a 20-30 year old Buttigieg type character, like some rich-kid upstart type. Interesting.

Love that there's a paint median making it wider than necessary just so that they can accomodate 9 lanes of turning lanes at the mouth. Talk about shooting yourself in the dick to spite your face
