Oh, I remember. Yes. They are not going fast enough. In earnest? That's hair splitting. If we want to get picky - and we should since the GCG is/was one single building - this demo started years before that. Please note that 100 Sudbury AND the State Street tower sit on half of the former...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I guess you don't have to hear people constantly bitch about the Congress Street detours, the longer walk to North Station, the constant horn-honking, or you basically don't have to look at it. While I am one to appreciate hyperbole, that's like comparing a gangrenous festering missing limb...

The only people who need to adjust their xanax levels are the resource managers at HYM (less). This demo was started in 2019. Entering year 4. I'm saying it's dragging out much longer than it needs to. Add more bodies from worksites that aren't shutting down a major boulevard in the heart of...

Y'see.... it looks like this part of my city has been bombed, If HYM isn't going to take this crap pile down with any purpose or priority, they might as well spin its' continued omnipresence into something else. So.... art exhibit? How about a big banner that says "WHOOPSIEDOODLE!" Or a...

Seems like a lot of 'extra' structure

Fixed it

So.... my takeaway: instead of saying "the Commonwealth grossly underfunds and neglects commuter rail maintenance" we'd say "the Commonwealth grossly underfunds and neglects regional rail maintenance"?

Looks like the MBTA is starting to prep for Red-Blue already by deferring maintenance… https://www.universalhub.com/2022/seasonal-art-display-bowdoin-t-stop

Multiple flags down on the field. Subjective judgement on ‘successful’ and false equivalency of that parklet con tot lot comparing to Fred Olmsted’s awesome classical waterside promenade with plantings so perfect you forget an actual human being put them there. It’s bad enough that way back...

It looks like the side view of a B-2 Spirit i

<pulls pin, throws grenade> We should run Storrow EB to LMA traffic through Brookline from BU Central. Shorter distance. <runs>

How loud will the person in the wheelchair be screaming to be heard over all that unnecessary shit above their head? It'll be just like now -- a place you have to get through, not a place to be. The most accurate part of these sketches is these people look like inverted ghosts.

They had to make the overpasses transparent because they don't want us to think that it's the same turd with a different polish. Throw down some new sod, add a tree, a new path or two. It's design chicanery! You want to kill heavy traffic in that area of town and take some people off Mass Ave...

Cool pic. I'm thankful someone leaned out of the the Hoffman Building to get this shot. I've never seen a before from that angle. More evidence of our sick love affair with unbridled mobility: Gotta love how we ripped down the city to give everyone at-grade parking in the remnants of the city...

On a beauty scale where 1 is a MASSDOT standard I-beamed concrete block highway bridge, and 10 being a sleek Calatrava looking floating arc, this bridge comes in at a solid 5 at least. Beauty is subjective.

That design style says "This bar code isn't reading right. Guess I have to key it in. <pause> Crap. <picks up intercom mic> CAN I GET A PRICE CHECK ON MARGINAL FACADES?"

As designed, this is not an overpass common in this country by any means: https://www.architectmagazine.com/project-gallery/north-washington-street-charlestown-bridge

Now if we could connect the other side of Fort Point Channel. To that end, when was Dorchester Ave from A-Street to the Federal Reserve Building closed to through traffic?

It would be plain silly to rip it all down. My bet is they know how to fix it. What they're doing now is trying to figure out how to fix it cheaply, and trying to determine who built what part or it incorrectly so they can stick that company with the overbill. /speculation. This post needz moar...
