Love the addition of the Greenway!

Small nitpick, it's weird how Franklin park is scrunched up vertically and the 16/31 pass south of it. I would just stretch it back to normal and have the bus lines run through it. Morph the NE park edge to snap along the 22. It's graphically triggering seeing the bus lines just barely graze the...

Nope:

This is a small tweak, but I'd suggest keeping station names to one line if possible. In particular, Blanford St and Melnea Cass Blvd stick out. Brookline Village also looks cramped. And the space between the names, accessibility symbol, and transit line looks a hair too close. I'd double it.

It's an edit from the NIMBY admin of that local facebook page.

A friend of mine lives in 10 Taber next door. It's no Mass and Cass, but it's slightly... bleak. Nubian station is not a pleasant place later in the night. The square overall feels zapped of life and these upcoming developments are desperately needed.

Wild to me that the stone clad entry column is still incomplete from the failed installation over a year ago.

They've started to clad the platform vaults - only the purely vertical surfaces as of now.

Mid-construction photo before the existing trees grow any leaves, or any of the new ones get planted. The jokes write themselves.

#97 is the Central Park Tower in NYC

I wish Elkus would put more effort into their paneling designs. They introduce so many joints and it often results in square/squat proportions. That last photo of the corner shows off how stack-of-cubes it ends up looking. Works against the tall double-story reading of the windows. Their...

The BU building is honestly a shoe-in this year. Also the last year WRA's Berklee Tower is eligible.

I wish Moynihan's food hall was adjacent to the main concourse. It's sort of off in a corner and out of sight. That said, it's always bumping with people and music. The Tavern in the Square bar in SS is almost pleasantly quaint with its shitty webcam feed of the board and being so central.

Sort of amazed that massive feature column along Devonshire is still unsheathed.

I think you overstate how "spectacular" this view is. You get a tiny sliver of nondescript Eastie down the canyon of buildings. The other examples all have a much greater proportion of vista regardless of the foreground stuff. The trees also soften the severe glass edges of the block - and I'd...

CB2 as the corner tenant is a miss imo. A large storefront that sits largely devoid of activity. Would've been cool to have one of the restaurants there. I don't mind the "landscraper." Let Pierce be the gateway/flatiron piece. If a library branch or something similar does end up going inside...

Are they going to integrate ad space onto the Type 10s? I've always disliked the way it was done on the Type 9s, and I don't think I've ever seen them actually use the space.

It's really not. I wish you could have a nuanced take instead of constant hyperbole.

I don't. Cities are more than just buildings. The new one will host youth summer camp programs too for the community outside of Wentworth. Way better than the huge surface parking lot there currently.

So you want the school to disband their field sports programs? Or just put it... somewhere else in their 1/4 mile campus radius...? The existing one is heavily used. Don't see why being Division 3 precludes them from having a facility.
