Thank you. I’m hoping it’s a work zone because the slow down starts in Longmeadow or Enfield — more than a mile below the wye or the acute curve into the station. The rest of the line into New Haven has noticeably improved over the last three years.

Trains coming into Springfield Union Station from the south slow down dramatically when entering the city of Springfield — it can be a frustrating crawl, adding about 15 minutes to the trip. Is that temporary due to construction or is that a requirement due to grade crossings? As other...

So maybe the question can be answered with the numbers we have in the submission so far? They've listed 988 parking spaces and 160 bike parking spaces for just over 800 units of residential. So it does sound like 'no parking' for commercial (tho there must be *some* as commercial can require a...

How many sq. ft. of parking does 1CC have?

Looks like almost 1.1MM sq. ft. of development in of SEVEN new buildings — mostly residential, with a mix of retail & office space — constructed over five phases. Impressive scope.

Can we get a place-maker in on this concept? Utile or one of the dozens of other major urban-planning teams that are based locally? Or an international urban-design competition? Bearing witness to another bloated and car-centric traffic-engineer's idea of Boston is so disappointing. As if the...

You read my mind.

The color, light, texture and composition of this image are so good, @Corey — really beautiful.

@Max the renderings/elevations appear to be these hillside and waterfront buildings in this overall illustration from 58fore.com.

The intersection of Cumberland and Washington has so much potential. I'd love to see a development team redevelop each of those corner lots into a well-coordinated, mixed-use "square" – a tree-lined public space for outdoor tables on the 7 Eleven lot – lined with cafe/restaurant/retail on the...

Look back at Post #42 in this thread to read the biggest challenges for the Back Cove site, and then this article in the Herald: https://www.pressherald.com/2022/01/10/back-cove-no-longer-in-play-as-site-for-pro-soccer-stadium/

Agree 100%

More from the competition site: “ Shortlist final submissions will be displayed for three weeks at the PMA in Portland, Maine as well as online on the competition website. Comments from the public will be collected and will only be provided to the Jury. In addition, all finalist teams will be...

Looks like there could be an announcement as early as tomorrow on the winning design team: “Concept designs are due mid-fall, followed by a public display and comment period, where drawings, models and videos of the proposed designs will be on view and available to the public at the PMA Nov. 18...

Revised sketch showing build-out of Port Properties within existing height limits in West Bayside.

Yes, but to bring a 1920s structure up to Class A Office quality would be massively expensive if even possible, while building from ground up that same level of finish can be achieved much much more economically and provide the experience that up-market office tenants expect and that their own...

Assuming the current height limit is about 50' across Bayside, but what if there could be closer to 100' in a cluster of a few blocks close to the Public Market Garage? Or even one block up-zoned to about 150'? Rough sketches here meant only to visualize those questions:

Agree: Timing is everything.

A likely reason that Port Properties has bought up the majority of buildable sites in Bayside. Hopefully they develop a comprehensive plan for a vibrant new mixed-use, high-density neighborhood to help accommodate sustainable growth — they're well positioned now to help the City core grow...

I don’t see any evidence in the plans to support the billeted benefits on panel 02: • Wlakable? It’s all multi-lane arteries and parking lots in plan; • Community Connections? appear to be multi-lane arteries. • Multi-modal connections? Where is not in plan • Connect residents to nature? In...
