    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    I'm sure they will try to piggy-back on other work where safe, if possible, but this isn't more Orange Line shutdowns next month specifically for track/signal work - it's for a crumbling MassDOT bridge that already required one 9-day shutdown. I'm sure the T is footing the diversion costs...

    Seaport Neighborhood - Infill and Discussion

    It really is quite an exciting entrance to the city, especially for travelers from Logan coming in.

    Fusion reactor at Devens. 3-D Printing at Devens

    Well these are much more level-headed than my perhaps grouchy comment before going to bed. Definitely makes sense, and is certainly a good business decision for CFS. The simple answer is Venture Capital has to change. How? I'm not so sure. Maybe just get rid of it.

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    That would be my guess - looks like the stairs and controlled entry gate were updated recently but the truck pad entrance has a Keolis sign on Google Street View in October 2023..

    Fusion reactor at Devens. 3-D Printing at Devens

    I'm excited, but I have to wonder what that says about Massachusetts if they decided Virginia will be their first plant location, after being founded here and years of research and development. I'm not sure how much of a choice they had in the location, but I'm sure there was a discussion in...

    Book Recommendations

    (This ended up in the okay-good range. She's absolutely great and tremendously inspiring at the stuff she knows. I found her interviews with people outside of her realm of climate knowledge (~50% of the book) to contain rather surface level/non-directed questions, to which the interviewees had a...

    The New Residential Conversion Thread

    ~$480K/unit... will be a steep asking price, but more units and more full buildings downtown is great to me.

    Tai Tung Village Expansion | 288 Harrison Avenue | Chinatown

    ... is that an outdoor application of ACT?

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but the next page in the report you're quoting:

    ...Wasn't this known BNRD would do this?

    Quincy Infill and Small Developments

    If I was a developer I'd steer clear of Quincy. Between the way the city government operates and how development goes, not a great place to put some money in.

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    $200 million for that scope of work seems intense. Better be some nice bridges by the end of it.

    Copper Mill Development | Elm Street and Grove Street | Davis Square

    It has been discussed - reading the community meeting notes, there are some promising remarks from the Developer. I believe the lab "proposal" was the previous proposal that, based on the community meeting notes, has been thrown in the trash.

    Boston and the Homeless

    Half-joking: Boston annexes Quincy/Squantum and re-builds the bridge to Long Island, or runs a ferry. The bridge was closed 10 years ago at this point.

    Patriot Place | Foxboro

    It's a pretty disappointing looking facility design wise, especially considering that Populous is behind it...

    Lowell Infill and Small Developments

    I can't imagine how this is going to fare for the Mill No. 5 businesses. Moving elsewhere in Lowell is going to bring significant costs, and they recently expanded the second floor, which likely cost a pretty penny, all for these newer small businesses to be sent out a few months later. They...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    I see a lot of light gauge metal framing beyond the glass, so there will likely be a wall set back from the glazing, creating a more opaque crown. The framing doesn't go the whole way up yet, so stay tuned I suppose...

    Copper Mill Development | Elm Street and Grove Street | Davis Square

    I don't want to get too far into the details here, because we will get them soon enough, but it appears there's at least a 7-story section of the building, as there is sky peaking through at the top corner of the rendering. That implies a taller narrow section, potentially the part that...

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    This project and thread just keeps getting more depressing :/
