How did trains do it back in the day?

Two huge developments coming to Dover: https://www.bldup.com/posts/500-units-planned-for-former-liberty-mutual-campus-in-dover-nh 500 units comin to the Liberty buildings. LM had a tax-exempt status in Dover for a very long time and was a big employer up until Covid, but they consolidated to...

Every building between MGH and 1 Congress needs to go

I was considering going to the cape, but the ferry is wildly expensive and the train is 2.5hr. I've heard the train is locked to 30mph past a certain point because of the tracks and grade crossings. Any of the train heads know if it would be easy to shorten the trip time? Do we just have to wait...

Project would be a great candidate for single staircase reform.

I still don’t know what happens if a building is built “too tall”. Do people think it will fall over on them?

I wonder if you could prove that this building sits on one of the sites in allston that harvard bought and demolished long ago to expand their real estate footprint. It's a decent development either way.

No photos, but this is under construction now. The ground is being dug up and I saw the construction workers having a meeting this morning at the site.

Now visible from Lechmere

The old freight ROW through Charlestown probably works for this purpose. Here is the 3375 feet it takes to get to 135' at 4% grade. You could even cheat by running the rest of the line down that ROW but then you'd end up in Sullivan. This all said, if this was ever constructed, it would be one...

I was riding with my friend on Blue (he commutes on it) and noticed that the train announcements were 1 station off. I asked and he said it's normal. Anyone know about this?

Putting my hat in for a west station - grand junction - Tobin alignment with a transfer at Kendall, align somewhere in the inner belt where we can find space to get over to Tobin

Is there a reason a bridge can't be added to the dam?

Yes from what I can tell. I thought this area was some sort of protected wetland but I guess it’s just fallow.

Governmetn services center is on this list, not sure if that means it is going back out for proposals.

70 million?

In person this is kinda not bad but I can see the criticisms for sure. I think a fix would be to have a harvard style underpass to connect the library and the plaza without a 4 lane road

So I actually know the answer to this question. They were put in a dumpster. I know some guys on campus that found the dumpster and may have rescued a couple items but the art was too big to move and so it is in some landfill somewhere now.

I showed this to my young alumni friends and they don't like it. I think personally this is a great project just because it gets rid of that horrible lot and adds more space for students, which is huge. At some point, it is worth asking why these institutions which have few financial...

Poftak next?
