The project just got a $43m grant from the US DOT. https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/2025-01/RCP%20FY24%20Award%20Factsheet.pdf

That gap in the Rapid Busway bugs me, both because it is visually disjointed, and because the southbound carriageway on Seaver St was, in fact, once a streetcar ROW that could be repurposed for buses today.

I will once again ask people to stop making up strawmen arguments about poor people driving into Manhattan. It's pure suburban car brain.

While I appreciate the public space, a building made of cinder blocks and exposed metal isn't the most inviting place I can think of.

Have the stress of the holidays gotten to everyone? Jesus Christ, yall need to step away from this forum and relax. You've all been here long enough to know how to act. I'm locking this for a week.

I love that Everett has a skyline.

Holy shit.

That looks... not great. Maybe it's the pictures. But it looks like a facadectomy, and the back end is cheap.

It really isn't clear that those dashes mean "walking distance".

Architecture for the homeless and drunks to use as a bathroom.

I have many fond, fuzzy memories of smoking pot in that spot when I was in college.

Hochul looks weak with everything she does. This is just the most recent poor decision. She is only Governor because Andrew Cuomo needed to balance out the ticket. She's really bad at her job.

My GOD it's beautiful.

That's some sexy density. I know it's not a biog deal in the grand scheme, but I've always hated the name "West Station". Like, I get that they are trying to connect it to North and South Stations, but it's terrible for place making. Allston is a thing.

It's a shame what passes for architecture these days.

I'm not saying they are the most attractive towers, but turning them into just another glass box isn't the answer. They have more character than many modern towers, and represent an important period of growth in the city.

I've moved the existing thread from the "Design a Better Boston" forum to the "Transportation" forum as this is more than just some crazy transit pitch.

I've never seen so much lipstick on a pig before.

This would be a great addition to the city if it wasn't for it's baggage.
