This one wrapped up very quick. Dogs are already pooping here, saw one this morning

This is going to be a good project, but it's funny that this is almost happening because boston can't rid itself of Storrow. Alternate timeline where Memorial drive exists but Storrow is a local road, you suddenly "can't" road diet this thing. We're lucky Memorial has not been induced-demanded...

Yeah I mean you’re right but the 109 goes right up Washington through Kirkland and the street width doesn’t meaningfully change as you go across the border. And Washington street has bike lanes.

Under the CSO https://www.cambridgema.gov/streetsandtransportation/policiesordinancesandplans/cyclingsafetyordinance/Projects It is not slated to get bike lanes other than a short stretch in front of Memorial hall. It is a little awkward since the Somerville version of it (Washington St) did...

It’s also worth noting that unlike other districts the mid Cambridge district is pretty expansive and covers basically just a ton of streets between Inman and central. Not clear when walking around there why that is other than a land grab of sorts.

https://www.cambridgema.gov/historic/contactforms/historicalcommission Feel free to send a quick email to the historical commission detailing your concerns. They also just voted to delay the Jacobs house development for a year-long landmarking study. If the building is landmarked then it can be...

https://www.cambridgeday.com/2025/08/12/demolition-for-ellery-street-housing-denied-development-to-continued-with-preservation/ The ellery street proposal has been killed by the conservation board, somehow. I didn't know they had the authority to do it. They are requiring any development to do...

If a CR terminal is required we should build NSRL and have the arena over central station by the harbor towers.

He thinks he's JB Pritzker when he's more like... Robert Kraft.

I honestly had no idea that Josh Kraft was an old man because I haven't read articles about him. I thought he was like a 20-30 year old Buttigieg type character, like some rich-kid upstart type. Interesting.

Love that there's a paint median making it wider than necessary just so that they can accomodate 9 lanes of turning lanes at the mouth. Talk about shooting yourself in the dick to spite your face

Same as north station Amtrak tickets. They don’t expire after scanning since it’s just a QR code, so the mom or dad has to stand and scan it 8 times.

The museum is not really part of the park, it's more of a brick wall separating the park. More of a brutalist suburban import than it is the national mall. If it were similar to a museum in a park, then there should actually be a good amount of parkland around it.

So, I might be able to provide some insight here because this is my commute, I go down CRD Rd to get from Cambridge to Bulfinch on my bicycle to get to work. In my opinion CRD road is not actually that unsafe anymore since they put in the bike lanes, yes there's no physical separation but these...

Some strange extant tracks I found today, no tracks nearby that they’d connect to. Anyone know where I am?

I would suspect the Legacy will find the money. They are building this 27 million dollar facility in Brockton: https://bostonlegacyfc.com/blogs/press/boston-legacy-fcs-performance-center

Needless to say but allowing housing everywhere would help a lot of the beleaguered parts of architecture, engineering, and construction that have been suffering for a year+

At least we managed to pay VHB 4 quadrillion dollars to curse at constituents live on zoom calls

Once a PDA is approved and a parcel sits empty they need to start taxing the plots at the rate it would be if the building were constructed and full. If they start construction, fine, go back, but there needs to be some incentive to not landbank. That, or have a clause that reverts to municipal...

Yeah I think this was a railyard before. I didn't realize it was open to non-employees tho!
