Been a loooooooong time since I've sharpened my MBTA crayons, but here's my pitch: Build a branch of the Green Line that connects to the inner loop at Gov't Center that runs along Hanover St, then under the harbor to the Navy Yard. Now, much will depend on the design of the bridge. But if...

From the article: That isn't irony. That's how highway bridges work. I'm all for adding transit to the new bridge, but it seems that the most effective way to do this is through bus-only lanes that could one day be converted to rail (or dual use?).

Guys, chill.

I like how the building will come pre-graffiti'd on the Pike side.

I moved the conversations on data centers here: https://archboston.com/community/threads/data-centers-from-downtown-financial-district-infill.7251/

There's an architect on my pool team that lives in a house like that in Connecticut. Because of course he does. But it really is something.

Just gets worse and worse. I hated the Jenga version, but that was better than this slop. Any architect that draws trees on a skyscraper should have their license revoked.

Anything that adds more street running is a non-starter. You make some assumptions that aren't really true: Arsenal St really isn't wide enough for a dedicated transitway given its importance as an east-west artery, and neither is the B&A ROW.

Are those ads for The White Lotus?

That's the worst collection of wanna-be architecture I've ever seen.

Oh hell yes.

Some people have asked, but it's up to the admin, @SkyriseCities, who has seemingly not been here since August of 2023.

2nd Ave stations were mostly mined. Hence, the insane costs. 96th St was cut and cover as it was the transition point between the new (deep bore) and older (cut and cover) tunnels.

This is the first time I've seen a fantasy MBTA map here that I think is actually good. It's also really well drawn. I'd argue the C should replace the Shuttle to SBW, but the overall idea is sound.

I like this better than the current map!

Looks like a Temu Battersea Power Station.

Oh hey.

I'm just gonna say it: I like it, and I think y'all are over reacting.

I second your confusion. Additionally, Virginia is going hod-wild with dense TOD. Yet, it's all the same stroads and subdivisions! We are so close, yet so far.

We've never moved past towers in a park.
