I think the Prism residential building on Rogers St in Cambridge used a similar system.

The lack of communication from the T is frustrating. The MWRA used to present monthly status reports on the Boston Harbor Project, but they were subject to court supervision. At least the Pioneer Institute infested T used to publish routine updates on most projects.

I like the composition on the second photo. Nice alignment of the boom with One Post Office Square.

The projections look like the architectural equivalent of a cellphone shoved in a pair yoga pants.

I know those are maximum build massing models, but I don’t have much confidence that the end result will be much different. If every building needs a bank of elevators and two stairwells, amortizing that across a block sized land scraper is more profitable than multiple different buildings per...

Has she given a clear rationale for the about face? I have read about wanting more community engagement, but that’s a detail not a rationale.

Maybe angling for cabinet in a future Dem administration?

Eng has built up a bunch of credibility with g the handling of partial shutdowns and surges. This would be a place to spend some of it.

15-20 minutes seems a little quick for the inner Healthpeak property. The substation blocks easy cut through from that property, so you need to head down to the donuts and back up over the tracks.

Is that the expansion of the Inner Belt VMF?

I really hope Flynn isn’t council president if she exits mid-term.

Financially, it doesn’t pencil out these days for anything less than a megablock landscraper variant.

Should the Commonwealth centrally procure BEBs and parcel them out to the various transit agencies?

All of those are sensible. Maybe there needs to be some replacement West Medford service. Clearly the folks in Medford can’t suffer the pain of bus stops moving.

Skanska has the benefit of both being a developer and a contractor.

The T is going to chicken out on really reimagining the buses around the GLX, which is criminal. There is near zero reason to leave the 80 heading to Lechmere. Similarly, the 96 and 94 overlapping so much inside of the Medford/Tufts stop.

I think Harries Heder still has the molds for the Glove Cycle and there was some discussion of recasting them 20 years ago.

Rode my first Green Line train with the onboard equipment for the PTC. They have eliminated the single seat nearest the operator on Type 7s to accommodate it. Such is the price of progress.

I have fond memories of the MacWorld Boston conferences every August. Companies put together some elaborate booths for one week of use. Too bad there isn’t a more comprehensive photographic record of them.

It would be the final admission that the old elevated Orange Line “replacement service” through Roxbury was a lie foisted upon the neighborhood by Ray Flynn et al.
