How can LA build a new 4 mile subway with stations, when we can't even build the short BLX Red-Blue connector?

I'd rather have aB than AI.

Well, the residents are fortunate the development will have the best security.

The neo-mansard in this case complements well the sloped roofs on the adjacent buildings.

The electric bikes and scooters are the scariest. Several times I've been pedaling along a path on my non-motorized bike, when suddenly an e-bike comes out of nowhere, swooping down like an eagle silently and swiftly upon its prey.

ENR is a civil engineering and construction magazine, so they have historically been looking at costs for many decades now. It's like the discussion on here about MassDot not really breaking away from it's autocentric history. ENR has to change its mindset to fit the times as well.

Looks like a good project, but the cost for the new elevated line (with stations) on this project is $1 billion per mile. But that does include a new rail yard.

Or it could have looked like this, which is a fairly decent 60s building:

It does look like a motley bunch of oddball buildings randomly tossed out there. Compare that to the Kendall Sq area. No comparison.

The Kendall Square area sure is amazing. I love it!

The lot abuts Huron Avenue, and on the plans it looks like there will be access directly to/from Huron Ave. So that should reduce the impact to the Wyman Rd. cul-de-sac.

Looking at recent preliminary designs for major MassDOT projects, it's a mixed bag. The Rte. 16/Fellsway Wellington Circle redo proposal looks to be a sea of asphalt highway lanes, the Morrisey Blvd proposals look like an expressway, the initial designs for the Reid overpass project are a...

MassDOT, like any other DOT, Federal or State, obviously has an embedded inertia many decades old that is heavily roadway focused. It is in their road design standard drawings and specs, and in their organizational culture. For a long time I worked as a civil engineer for the US Forest...

I'm good with it as long as the "Climate Council" doesn't get on a high horse and stymie development.

I don't mind the height, but the one large sprawling building should be broken up into three of four individual buildings separated by wide paths. This would give it a more human scale plus help with pedestrian connectivity.

The proposed tower would dwarf, for now, the surrounding neighborhood. But Davis Sq is a major transportation hub, the confluence of the Red Line, major bus routes, and the multi-use path extending all the way from Bedford to Boston. It is destined to become a high density hub with this tower...

It is appropriate for the government to subsidize private initiatives to promote a vibrant and healthy metro core with a vital residential component, rather than vacant office buildings. The benefits to society and the city are substantial and are noted above by others.

The 'compact “Alternative C”' isn't bad. I like the multi-use path continuing onto the overpass.

I discovered the way to see your photos here on aB. If I'm logged out of Flickr, they won't show, but if I log into Flickr, then reboot my computer and leave me logged into Flickr, I can see your photos on aB.
