How much parking do we need here?

Goodbye Edwards and Rogers! Also, looks like they finally have plans to kill off Baker, too.

Let's keep this on track please. Keep your political rants on Facebook.

Yeah, that's quite the let down.

"Luxury single family home" So, is there a doorman or something?

Just looking at that, it seems to me that there are a lot of wetland issues with developing around the train station.

My thoughts exactly. This is great infill. But they have to make that intersection a lot safer.

Pro tip: take horizontal pictures.

Is this the end of the line, or will it extend further south into downtown?

Given your handle, I'd say that tracks.

Local only. I don't see the need to install express tracks this far out, especially when RL stations are pretty far apart. A median el is out. It's a solution looking for a problem. It doesn't serve the towns well, and it's not like there is even space for large park-and-rides.

LOL. My aunt and uncle live in Pinehills. It ain't walkable in any sense.

Those curves juxtapose well with the old brick building.

It doesn't kill it, but it is doing the bare minimum to leave space. I do wonder that, if a Danvers Line was to ever happen, if they would run trains just north of the current Salem station and then reverse back into the Danvers branch. Surely less than ideal, but it avoids this development...

That's the most overly dramatic take I've heard. The space is disappointing, but 1) it's brand new and tenants haven't moved in yet and 2) far fewer people are going to the office now vs when this was planned. There isn't the density of users yet. Give this time, I'm sure it will evolve nicely.

BLX to Kenmore is a project that's at least 25 years down the pike. BLX to Charles/MGH will have to overload the RL so much that extending the BL (again) is the only option. A bit of a chicken/egg situation. I wouldn't worry about it for a while.

Holy shit, something interesting for once!
