I'm not going to defend the map/logic; however, assuming the map is referring to Disney World's Magic Kingdom park (i.e. referring to the 'theme park' as the attraction), then the number isn't far off per the latest AECOM Theme Index Report (*which is a fascinating annual read if you've never...

Yes. MassDOT & Boston MPO have prioritized two federal aid projects currently being designed that will make multimodal safety improvements along Route 16 through Everett. Their Project ID’s for reference are 611969 and 613121. The City, MBTA, and State also have other projects that are in...

This throws me off a little: why is the Conservancy cool with people paying admission to use the William J. Devine Golf Course & Zoo at Franklin Park 365 days a year, but litigating over a women's soccer team renovating White Stadium at Franklin Park and leasing the space 20 days a year?

My eye twitches every time I read an up-liked comment about new developments in metro Boston that are “overpriced,” as if fundamental economics don’t exist. It’s pretty darn foolish to claim nobody can afford to live in new buildings that get 95% leased within 14 months of opening. As an...

I shared this on the Sofia Everett thread a year+ ago... the city has implemented a different scaled grid pattern for the Commercial Triangle. And it is comparable to the block sizes of residential development north of Rt. 16. Rome wasn't built in a day folks, although if Everett's Planning...

If I ever want to know such things, then I reach out to the regional planning agency staff for the respective region(s) I’m looking to find it. They staff the MPO and perform the transportation research you’re speaking of, for all modes.

Best New Building of 2024. - Refreshingly distinctive facade treatment. - Extends the pedestrian spine of Harbor Way, including new public open space. - Introduces state-of-the-art performing arts center to a neighborhood thirsty for new cultural spaces. - Replaces a parking lot. - Provides...

A large format, full service restaurant and bar. Friends of mine operate a boardgame cafe and bar that I think conceptually would be a slam dunk here.

You really think there's nowhere else in the city that could host a winter market?! I think when the construction dust settles on SeaPAC and WTC by next Christmas, the Seaport alone will have the Harbor Way pedestrian mall/park and WTC food hall courtyard/harborwalk reopening that could...

Chelsea and Everett jointly applied for a $50M Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Grant through FEMA for the expressed purpose of improving coastal resiliency along their waterfront. Developers coming to the table in Everett (i.e. Revs, Davis Co., Wynn) have been tasked...

Off the top of my head, Somerville, Everett, and Fenway all have high rises that should be vertical in 2024.

MBTA/Amtrak from Providence to Back Bay; Orange line from Back Bay to Sullivan/Assembly; take 10-minute walk to stadium. The walk is no further than the walk time from parking lot to Stadium at Gillette in some cases. Actually seems fairly straight forward. Add in ferry and water taxi transport...

Hello ArchBoston! Some of you may have pieced together in recent years that I work at MassDOT's Office of Transportation Planning. Specifically, I am the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Coordinator on the MPO Activities Team. If there is a highway or transit investment using...

Sky Everett has an ArchBoston page already. Also, the Stop and Shop is already demolished and being redeveloped for a completely different residential development by Greystar. Sky Everett is nearly half a mile west of the Stop & Shop site near Spring Street and Second Street, adjacent to a...

According to the Massport Board Meeting Presentation from March 2023 (slide 45), Terminal E Phase 1B improvements are funded and include enhancement of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Area among other improvements. Slide copied below for reference. This feels like kind of an oversight in...

Favorite Infrastructure Project of 2023: Logan Airport Terminal E Expansion (with honorable mention to Terminal B to C Connector... not certain if that opened in '22 or '23). Biggest Transit Story (that nobody is talking about, but should): MeVa (formerly Merrimack Valley Regional Transit...

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't know that City of Everett is a Massachusetts Gateway City. Gateway cities have a population between 35k-250k, an average household income below the state average, and an average educational attainment (bachelor's degree or above) below the...
