This doesn't feel as "wrong" as some people make it out to be. Asking the state to change the zoning to allow this sort of use is the start of this process. It would be a waste of time to have a huge public conversation before determining if the idea of a stadium is even possible.

Construction has started on 12-16 Essex St, Melrose. Here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZSUh8hqvWx8LXFQg8 The building was torn down a few weeks back. Will become 4-story, 24 units with ground floor retail. It was initially going to be 14 units, but then became a 40B project...

It's funny because an "extension" of Lamartine St would actually have been a restoration of it. It always bugged me that despite the street being removed decades ago when the development was built, they still used Lamartine St addresses within the development as if it still existed. And it's not...

This is a NPC ONLY because they were asked to save 5 trees... Changes to the project include reducing the building’s footprint from 5,800 S.F. to approximately 4,165 S.F., reducing building size from approximately 24,000 S.F. to approximately 18,040 S.F., reducing the unit count from 20 to 15...

I think the concessions would be that they could build something closer in size to what they're proposing since as it stands now, it's sort of dead on arrival.

I always like to point out that zip codes have less to do with a neighborhood identity and more to do with the efficiency of delivering mail. Over time, people have embraced the zip code as shorthand for a place, but that's not what it was created for.

I've noticed that the state has been replacing signage along Route 1 between Chelsea and at least Lynnfield. I wish they didn't feel the need to always replace every single mast arm and gantry too. Huge waste of money.

This was a really bizarre thing. It's quite odd to announce a change solely with a traffic advisory, but the whole "DCR is removing a bike lane for cars" narrative was just pearl clutching. It was never happening. However, there were some photos posted of the layout lines that looked a little...

I'm confused. Are you trying to make an MBTA service level joke? I use the red line through here daily. It's honestly not that bad.

JFK/UMass?

This is probably posted a few pages back as well, but explains some of what they're doing now and why: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/0d292dbd1932495fae4be15c124229c6

Oh the name is interesting. It's address is 9 Central Street and "ennea" is the Greek word for 9. (and it's a couple lots over from the Greek church)

Mass. transportation secretary is stepping down (bostonglobe.com) 👀

Every time I'm in this area, I think about the development pattern of Washington St. 3-4 story buildings with ground floor retail spaces keep popping up as as-of-right projects. I don't know of anywhere else in the area where we're seeing so many individual parcels be developed instead of huge...

I would use caution basing anything neighborhood related on zip codes. In a city with several post offices and neighborhoods, zip codes were created based on route efficiency and some history, not necessarily neighborhood borders. This mattered more when routes would initiate mostly from the...

I was actually going to suggest to them that they remove Morrissey Blvd offramp. It only serves to make Morrissey an arterial route and future projects are trying to de-emphasize that connection to South Boston. People that get off there should stay on I-93 until either the Columbia Rd or...

Does anyone know why there are 3-4 construction vehicles owned by GTA Landscaping in the Bayside lot for the last 3 years? They haven't moved. One has a broken window.

The City of Boston is putting out an RFP for 2.4 miles of Columbia Road between Franklin Park and Moakley Park. More info: City seeks consultant, design services for rehabilitation of Columbia Road corridor | Dorchester Reporter (dotnews.com) This stretch was planned to be the "Dorchesterway"...

This is actually a pretty big project. Basically they're undoing the exterior renovation from the 1950s and restoring the church to its original look: CHC-Application-drawings-First-Parish-Church-9-8-2020-1.pdf (firstparishcambridge.org)
