    Biking in Boston

    https://www.universalhub.com/2026/police-union-declares-war-back-bay-city-councilor-over-parking That is shockingly dumb. Now we know why people continue to block the bike lanes. So Let's be clear about one thing, the BPPA is not an actual union and does not claim to be. I have nothing against...

    Porter Square Infill and Small Developments

    Well they seem to have put an awful lot of effort into making it this ugly. A New England Brickface clad triangle would have been better. However it is certainly better than what was there before, it's about $230 a night which isn't over the top, and it has gotten generally positive reviews for...

    Milton infill and small development

    They capped a large section of the X-Way in East Milton right next to this in the 1980's and built a park but it would be great if they did a parkway like design

    Reserved Channel Development | 300 West First Street | South Boston

    Kayaks maybe if there was somewhere to launch them. You could kayak up next to a cruise ship.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Here they say that the Red Line is 100% handicapped accessible but it is not. They have a plan to fix that but it is 10 years behind schedule.

    Quincy Infill and Small Developments

    To number 4, I would add protected bike infrastructure connecting to the NQ bridge but that also connects to Commander Shea Blvd, to the Quincy Riverwalk segments, Marina Bay and Squantum Point Park. I wouldn't expect the developer to have to pay for all of it but it would be great and give...

    If You Were God/Goddess | Transit & Infrastructure Sandbox

    "Removing the 180-foot Watertown Dam on the Charles River provides major ecological, safety, and financial benefits. The removal would allow migratory fish to reach upstream spawning grounds, restore natural water flow to cool water temperatures, prevent future dam failure, and eliminate...

    If You Were God/Goddess | Transit & Infrastructure Sandbox

    If I were a god one thing I would do is magically remove every nonfunctional dam in New England. There are literally thousands of them and it is a big problem. I am not talking about dams that have a commercial use, a recreational function or make electricity, but the ones that are no longer...

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    The homeless are not the reason why we don't have bathrooms in this city

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    It would be appropriate to have bathrooms too. I know there is facilities in the library but that is not enough considering the amount of visitors.

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    An editorial from Dot News. It points out that the bus on BHA serves more daily commuters than any branch of the Green Line. I would add that it serves more people than any 3 commuter rail lines combined. https://www.dotnews.com/2026/07/15/weighing-the-pros-cons-of-blue-hill-ave-redesign/ Edit...

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    It could be like the fire lane in front of the supermarket and such a thing could only be used when actually responding to an emergency with lights and sirens, so it wouldn't be that often and the responders would of course use appropriate caution. A police car driving down the street or an...

    City Hall Plaza Revamp | Government Center

    The actual size of the crowd is debatable but the point is that it was a massive free event. I think all they needed to do was expand the beer garden, put up massive screens, get food trucks and have the mayor send out a press release. I know people had fun and I don't want to crap on that but...

    City Hall Plaza Revamp | Government Center

    I am glad you had fun. Interestingly, I was once in a crowd of almost a million people on that exact spot cheering on Larry Bird who told us that Moses Malone eats shit and it was completely free

    Biking the Boston 'Burbs (Trails, MDC, & Towns beyond Hubway area)

    Yes, I would think Tuscan Village itself would benefit from bike infrastructure. It is supposed to be as much an outdoor destination as commercial area. Also I hate that Salem placed huge power lines on that stretch of 28. However, I do like what they have done to the area off Hampshire Street...

    Biking the Boston 'Burbs (Trails, MDC, & Towns beyond Hubway area)

    Walked the Methuen bike trail from Lawrence. Unfortunately, Salem, NH is taking forever to connect it to the Windham and Derry trails.

    City Hall Plaza Revamp | Government Center

    The whole things stinks, frankly. Show me in real numbers how this expenditure benefits the taxpayer and then I will be compelled to support it. Otherwise, it is the same bulls#$% as the NFL owners expecting the taxpayers to pay for their stadiums without having to prove that it would be a fair...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    I agree that they pulled this out their ass because they want to stop the bus, and I believe that they believe that opposing the bus is opposing Wu and that could make them mayor someday. However, the idea of a subway under Blue Hill Ave is merited and not crazy at all
