    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    All of those are sensible. Maybe there needs to be some replacement West Medford service. Clearly the folks in Medford can’t suffer the pain of bus stops moving.

    Skanska has the benefit of both being a developer and a contractor.

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    The T is going to chicken out on really reimagining the buses around the GLX, which is criminal. There is near zero reason to leave the 80 heading to Lechmere. Similarly, the 96 and 94 overlapping so much inside of the Medford/Tufts stop.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    I think Harries Heder still has the molds for the Glove Cycle and there was some discussion of recasting them 20 years ago.

    MBTA "Transformation" (Green Line, Red Line, & Orange Line Transformation Projects)

    Rode my first Green Line train with the onboard equipment for the PTC. They have eliminated the single seat nearest the operator on Type 7s to accommodate it. Such is the price of progress.

    Postmodernism deserves a little love too!

    I have fond memories of the MacWorld Boston conferences every August. Companies put together some elaborate booths for one week of use. Too bad there isn’t a more comprehensive photographic record of them.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    It would be the final admission that the old elevated Orange Line “replacement service” through Roxbury was a lie foisted upon the neighborhood by Ray Flynn et al.

    kz's Wanderings Around Greater Boston

    363 College Rd looks like a knock off Deck House. If I want that, I’ll spring for one of the OG ones in Carlisle.

    Idea for fixing the housing shortage

    The commonwealth providing coverage for most of the educational expense of students in those IZ units is one approach. It’s probably gameable, but it spreads the larger social good across the whole commonwealth.

    Kendall Common ( née Volpe Redevelopment) | Kendall Sq | Cambridge

    The excavation at the Biogen site is using a lot of the large white sacks. I assume that is because the soils are regulated due to contamination.

    Community Review Process

    There definitely should be a single searchable permitting site. Ideally, it should include all documents filed for a given permit. That would make it easier to see plans for by right projects alongside the special permits.

    MBTA "Transformation" (Green Line, Red Line, & Orange Line Transformation Projects)

    I guess they felt Boston needed to retain a classic Lechmere layout. Is the curve on the loop a new candidate for the governing curve in the system?

    Porter Square Infill and Small Developments

    14 White Street Place is making good progress.
