With 2,850 parking spaces, it's cementing that "not well-serviced by mass transit" into its development.

If it doesn't, it's now cementing Kendall into giving the vibes of "second tier" European city centre.

The death train is also a half-billion dollars in the red as of last year? https://www.railwayage.com/passenger/intercity/brightline-loses-nearly-550mm-in-2024-but-keeps-on-going/

This person lives in Greenfield or has way too fond of an affection for the place - no reason to have a two fast/semi-fast and 3 locals to serve Greenfield, unless we have a billion Americans in the Yglesias future.

The problem, in my read of the Streetsblog articles, seems to indicate is that it's not about "endless public hearings" or "design tweaks" - it's that state government doesn't have their ducks in order. Handing off projects between different state agencies and then leaving things held in other...

So, replace counties with RPAs?

That's an awful big new swimming pool.

After all these transportation and education funding wins, I don't get why we don't bring back more of these wealth taxes - like inheritance taxes on anything above a million dollars needs to go up too!

Now likely to be opened as early as 2034 (+7 years from original forecast) because of interference from a state-level governor.

The state really does need to take some further action in forcing some improved local government efficiency. Some issues that I still see after the removal of most county governments. 1) There's far too many towns of less than 1,000 residents - 28 in fact. And 12, even are under 500 people. 2)...

I think you have to call a forum admin. Some of the first comments under the original post are about this being moved....

I moved to the area back when Cambridge was finishing up the plan for Western Avenue. That was scheduled to take 2 years and ended up taking 4. So, this seems about on target or slightly better than scheduled for reconstruction of a similar length street. Got kept up many nights by the Western...

Given that it's posted on a Russian news site and links to a Southern Maryland regional newsblog, I would suspect that it's been marked as "not super credible" by other news sources.

Between the T buying the A-B site and this turnback in Reading, it seems like they don't have the right government relations operation going on. I don't think they seem to know how to deal with anyone other than the Mayor of Boston and their bosses in Mass Highway and the Governor's office.

Every time I go back to my old haunts, I swear, it's like a new apartment building construction site pops up. Somerville seems to be leading the region in housing production near rapid transit. Boston is piecemeal, Cambridge may start catching up with multi-family housing. Chelsea (and near by...

Flexposts are supposed to be built to get hit on occasion and not get permanently damaged. Smells like some BS.

Not so much sure that its hindsight on the fail-son part. It's exactly what people started saying as soon as Kraft announced. And, I've been hearing from progressives about Wu's failures - primarily starting in the reaction to the protests for Gaza and continuing down to development and...

That Irish Catholic may need to go his political vision checked. Kraft reads as a fail-son. Perhaps they're correctly assessing that Wu has become fairly weak on the progressive front, but, Kraft is clearly not a moderate.

This political insider might have been flying way too close to the sun! Was this person also a Brahmin? So out of touch with common people that they thought that Kraft was going to be popular?

I looked at this, and, most of it is good. But, a very cold take: a f****ng HAWK signal?! What are we Tucson?! Those horrendous things should be banned from the MUTCD and die a dishonorable death. At the minimum, Stantec should be fired from this project for supporting this anti-human signal...
