Same as north station Amtrak tickets. They don’t expire after scanning since it’s just a QR code, so the mom or dad has to stand and scan it 8 times.

The museum is not really part of the park, it's more of a brick wall separating the park. More of a brutalist suburban import than it is the national mall. If it were similar to a museum in a park, then there should actually be a good amount of parkland around it.

So, I might be able to provide some insight here because this is my commute, I go down CRD Rd to get from Cambridge to Bulfinch on my bicycle to get to work. In my opinion CRD road is not actually that unsafe anymore since they put in the bike lanes, yes there's no physical separation but these...

Some strange extant tracks I found today, no tracks nearby that they’d connect to. Anyone know where I am?

I would suspect the Legacy will find the money. They are building this 27 million dollar facility in Brockton: https://bostonlegacyfc.com/blogs/press/boston-legacy-fcs-performance-center

Needless to say but allowing housing everywhere would help a lot of the beleaguered parts of architecture, engineering, and construction that have been suffering for a year+

At least we managed to pay VHB 4 quadrillion dollars to curse at constituents live on zoom calls

Once a PDA is approved and a parcel sits empty they need to start taxing the plots at the rate it would be if the building were constructed and full. If they start construction, fine, go back, but there needs to be some incentive to not landbank. That, or have a clause that reverts to municipal...

Yeah I think this was a railyard before. I didn't realize it was open to non-employees tho!

We need more slums, I would live in a slum if we actually had one close to transit. Sick of the rent prices

I wonder if the bus operatnig cost issue hast o do with bus operator pay. Labor has gotten a lot more expensive on the lower end since 2019, and probably they raised wages to be able to hire all those new drivers.

Honestly I didn't know this was something they did! I feel like the stations all have original tile sometimes

In 2025, yes thanks to turnip, but specifically not for the reconnecting communities grants since those are in theory an urbanist grant

Did you just build the NSRL with the green line? 🤯

Bowdoin is slated to be closed permanently as part of Red/Blue. As far as the building goes, obviously they will keep it, we are just fantasizing. So no need to worry.

The project is indicative of the institutional rot and lack of ideas at all american institutions. The entire machinery moves automously without vision or oversight--the university has a goal to expand its footprint so they can hire more people, so they purchase land, they pay for buildings, the...

The building is obviously spiritually evil. Wishful thinking to imagine otherwise. The people who built it hated cities. That said it would be fun to see them try to A) keep the building B) add through streets. Like say that there were 5-10 mini-Hurley buildings within the street grid that are...

So this is the first I'm hearing about this project. I'm curious if this whole area is slated to be developed? Or is it going to remain industrial with just a corridor connecting the south end and seaport?

Maybe we can get some guys together next weekend and some thermite and go weld the rail. We can go to the beach after.
