Are we really all conditioned into believing that building a bridge span should take 4-5 years? On the face of it, I agree it doesn't seem too bad, but thinking about it more it seems like 4-5 years would be more reasonable for both spans. We are talking about approximately TEN YEARS to build...

I would argue that with White Stadium being used by the Legacy and BPS, those local establishments will get a lot of business with some turnover, but not entirely. The folks who are supporting women's sports today (at least in the current socio-economic-political climate) tend to want to shop at...

Pretty cool honestly! The renewable intent behind the building functionality and the kinetic action of the facade feels a bit like ocean waves rolling on to the beach.

It would make sense for a SL3 stop to be connected to the greenway at Bremen Street Park II. Then there is a car free walk to the BPL branch and through the project's Greenway improvements from this project there is a direct, a car-lite walk into Day Square. To be fair to the design of this...

There is definitely a collateral damage part of the conversation (which I have mentioned in my earlier posts) that needs to be acknowledged for lower income households. I would be interested to see data points that comparing driving commutes with household income. I would be interested to see if...

The T isn't fully to blame for people "having" to be in traffic. The model in the US has made it essential to sit in traffic because we became obsessed with cars and requiring space for cars at every establishment that we build. The T became unreliable because the overinvestment in this car...

I was thinking Bowker too initially because it would catch a ton of flow off of Storrow. Getting that "far" west should also look at including the Fenway area and Prudential areas. The aim is obviously to capture folks who are commuting into the city rather than residents. Presumably there would...

Everything should be on the table and the notion of talking about all possible options should not be shied away from. If we are going to go this route though, we need to swing big from the beginning because enlarging down the road would prove to be VERY difficult. I think an initial congestion...

I think this conversation is pointing out the many complexities that go into building in our city (really building in general). Residential is one of the hardest to build because the margins are so tight to begin with. Factoring tight margins with things like interest rates, construction costs...

Would Berklee be allowed to buy the property at auction? Could it possibly be Samuels bought the property "for cash" and then Berklee was able to take a more traditional financial approach? Maybe Samuels and Berklee had an agreement the whole time? Presumably Berklee does not have the...

It's probably not a question of not wanting to do it, but more of a question of finding a residential partner willing to take on the project. IQHQ is a life science developer right? Presumably they would need to find a residential developer that is willing to take on the existing debt of the...

Don't disagree with this at all. Just frustrating to see it occur time and time again. The fare enforcement folks I saw at Wood Island were initially three individuals standing in a group, then when I returned to station later on there were two and that is when they stopped the fare evader...

Yesterday I saw three different riders evade fare collection (all three were following behind another rider). Wood Island was the first and there were two fare enforcement officers who stopped them and had scan a card. The other two locations were within the core and the red jacket T worker saw...

I guess it'll depend on which rendering gets built. The black brick shows them and the red brick does not. I have my guess on which on gets built, but will wait and see as construction progresses. Going from black to red (or vice-versa) is a pretty drastic design change that I would be surprised...

This is what I thought you were initially talking about haha. Then I took another look at the map and saw the remnants of the Neptune Road boulevard. The only way I see Frankfort Street being useful would be if it was converted into a bus only road and the Wood Island bus sequence was rearranged...

You are referring to the useless boulevard stretch of Neptune? What is the point of that?? That whole are is pretty gnarly when it comes to roadway organization standpoint.

Thanks for sharing. Do you happen to know if all those obligations have been fulfilled?

Thanks for sharing. I saw the garage being 3-levels and was confused and then I saw Mill Creek as the developer and understood more. I don't think their model typically pencils buildings below a 1.0 spot per unit and this one has 322 parking spots for 321 units, even with direct access to the...

While they could, I wonder if the MBTA could swing a bigger stick (sort of speak) to overrule local jurisdiction. "bendy" buses is a great way to digestibly describe an articulated bus to the average joe. Love it haha What feels like a lifetime ago, I worked in the Market Basket design offices...

When did this happen? Feel like that would've gotten a decent amount of attention.
