Anyone know what the website is for the webcam for this project that they recently set up?

The big issue for me is that the gates should be for people entering the platforms, not for people entering the waiting area. What happens if a train is delayed or cancelled or for whatever reason you decide not to take it after you've been waiting? What if you need to leave and use the bathroom...

The protected bike lane needs a better design at the intersection of Boylston St. If it isn't marked clearly, pedestrians are going to stand in it while waiting for the walk signal to cross Mass Ave.

That whole block of Stuart St is just horrible. No street level experience whatsoever.

I really hate how the buildings seem to turn their back to Rutherford Ave. The City and the Charlestown neighbors really want Rutherford Ave to become much more of a main street rather than a pseudo-highway.

The chosen design has an uncanny resemblance to the Gangnam Style statue in Seoul. http://tour.gangnam.go.kr/en/prcenter/new-landmark-gangnamstyle/

Yes I think so because a toddler generally goes to bed at a regular hours. The partying 20-somethings are usually the most loud between 11 pm and 3 am. Not good if you're trying to sleep. Plus, kids are loud because they don't know any better. 20-somethings have full control over themselves...

We have a 3 bedroom condo above us in the South End. It was occupied by owners, a couple with a young child, for a few years, but then they moved to Newton. Now they are renting it out to 3 20-something guys who work nearby and love to party every weekend. The previous owners also did not live...

That's not a free transfer though.

I would prefer that we had just torn down elevated I-93 and replaced it with nothing.

I do like this "close SFR for a year during construction and see what happens" approach. I think people will indeed really enjoy it. One question: where do you start and stop the closure (which locations)? EDIT: Oh you already answered it. Cambridge St to Charlesgate.

Advocates have been in a tough position of "do we push for things that are already tough for MassDOT to say yes to but would result in a pretty good end result" or "do we push for things that we have <1% chance of getting and risk that MassDOT just ignores us and does something terrible that we...

I love the new separated bike lanes through the Casey Arborway project, but I think they really screwed up the transitions at the intersections. Instead of keeping peds and bikes separate with clear crossing points, they just kind of threw up their hands and put in these weird mixing zones. But...

Then raise the prices!

Yet their highest grossing store per square foot is the one on Boylston St in Back Bay, which has ZERO on-site parking.

Most dangerous thing about biking in winter in Boston? When the roads have been poorly plowed, the temperature has dropped, and the remaining uneven bits of snow on the road have frozen, creating a minefield of ice mounds. Also, occasionally, black ice. The only days I don't bike in winter are...

The bottom two floors are a total fail. I generally like the rest of the building though, although it does kind of give a big FU to the Littlest Bar.

OMG yes. The Canada Goose craze is so ridiculous. People actually line up to get into the store at the Pru on weekends, to pay $800+ for a winter coat. It's nuts.

I think the biggest mistake MassDOT made here was introducing a traffic signal where there was none before. The free-for-all mixing zone where cars from all directions just had to negotiate their way into the tunnel was actually quite efficient. I'm sure it looked like a nightmare from an...

Interesting that you mention Meeting House Hill. I'm currently reading a book about the development of Dorchester (and Roxbury) in the late 1800s, and this was mentioned as a thriving neighborhood at that time. I looked into it on Google Earth and had the same thoughts as you. What a really nice...
