Built to accommodate future phases of development on that site. Narrow lobbies to elevator banks, with development up that wall and on top. Yellow and green buildings in the rendering below, but haven't heard any plans to start anything here. Seems pretty unlikely it'll be anytime soon...

Well now I'm not going!

I'll try to swing by today or tomorrow and check out the bus terminal. The escalator from the platform is such a huge win vs walking all the way down to Beach St and back up the escalator. Too bad, as I took a number of buses this summer and was hoping it would open during the peak season.

The Zyn tin pocket outline couldn't have been better if they tried. Building also looks great, much more of this for some of the...less fortunate looking mid-size buildings

Hell yeah. Any word what's happening with the old high school site? This is a great location right at the blue line and near the beach and I love that there's some solid support from the Commonwealth to get this thing going.

And ultimately some people just want to live somewhere new, clean, and seemingly gleaming and nice. If you're driving to some other suburb for work and you're close enough to Boston for when you need to get in, why not rent the brand new place that won't have some of the aging issues of older...

Couldn’t get a pic but the crown lighting is in a moving multicolor wave of all colors of the rainbow. Super cool effect and the dim panels close to the channel seem to have been fixed. Check it out!

Yes for the LA metro and they were supposed to build commuter rail cars for Philly but SEPTA terminated the contract (wisely) before their first delivery. https://la.urbanize.city/post/metros-new-subway-cars-enter-service

This is one way to salve that burn, I guess (8 Ellery price history). I do get that it can be jarring when neighborhoods change quickly, but the status quo of enriching people who sit on aging housing stock and cash out while no one else has a place to live was really problematic. Aesthetics...

Damn, the sour NIMBYs are out in force on that comments section...it really is a pretty marginal change all things considered.

You're not a real urbanist until you've taken a hobby trip to YTZ and walked off the plane straight to your hotel (through the tunnel of course). Billy Bishop is the coolest small airport I've ever been to and we need as many flights there as possible.

https://bankerandtradesman.com/skyline-zoning-clears-downtown-for-taller-building-heights/ And we're officially approved, 10-0 vote. Well done City of Boston!

Alas that would require I make a Reddit account and engage, which is against my core personal tenet of…being on Reddit.

The major opponents of PLAN: Downtown have set up a website to facilitate one-click mass letter writing in opposition of the proposed plan. https://downtownzoning.org/ The text of the email is there, so I've conveniently made my own adjustments if anyone wants to send in a few messages before...

Building an Engpire. He should run for governor in 2030.

It was handed down to me on a stone tablet like Moses on the mountain. Verily it has changed my view on the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_High_Cost_of_Free_Parking

I'm going to get in trouble if I say too much more, but it has been odd to see car-brained Southie residents and the virtuous Fort Point artists come together to hate on the remediation of an old industrial site that adds resiliency to the channel, create new services, and objectively will have...

I'll give them the fact that there should be more housing (and I've written widely to the developers and various politicians to that point) but that's not the reason they oppose the zoning changes, it's an excuse. I've followed enough projects across the city and around the channel to know that...

Read the public comments and you'll see that every residential group from the artists on A street to the old timers in Southie want nothing to do with this project. The neighborhood groups had pre-filled commentary mailers that used scary language about big looming high rises ruining the nature...

Would be a generational travesty.
