I think this is a useful thread. I get that you think that small downtown projects might not be an efficient use of space, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

The articles/documents about this were a bit confusing and honestly it took me some time to understand if this was "new". This building appears to always have been "proposed" as indicated in the original PNF and documents for its under construction neighbor. The update is just that they've...

I cannot figure out where these ones could possibly be. Streetview doesn't show anything that looks workable?

I still think it would be great (even if just for non-revenue moves) to connect the D to E via Washington/Huntington.

I wonder how the proposal could change if they acquire that other parcel behind them that they refer to. A path along the tracks to the station would also be nice here.

Why are there so many huge white tents all over the site?

Something is up in the South End... specifically at the Pledge of Allegiance building (let's call it the Club Cafe building for obvious reasons) - 142 Berkeley St. - the furniture store on the first floor recently closed and is empty - Fenway Health announced they will be closing the office this...

I've been in the office every day for the last year and a half. We have the option to do up to 2 days at home (scheduled) and occasional from home days as needed with 24hrs notice (for appts and whatnot). Every time I WFH though, I hate it. Insane number of distractions (laundry, other chores...

The Patriot Ledger article has a paywall. I think this is the Quincy redesign presentation: https://www.mass.gov/doc/massdot-hearing-presentation-quincy-8223/download

I read this a couple days ago then recently read the Globe article on Steward's health as a company. I was so confused because the Globe article does not mention that Steward is rebuilding this hospital. It just notes that Norwood Hospital was closed due to flooding (and leaves the reader...

The Oggi Gourmet space is being renovated. Looks like it will still be Oggi though when done. https://www.oggigourmet.com/

The results of the neighborhood association vote were: Support: 6 Opposed: 21 Abstain: 1 Invalid: 5. You can only vote if you attend (in person or online) and you can't submit votes before or after the meeting if you're busy that night. Live vote only via in-person or google sheet in the meeting...

I believe it's left on Magazine, right on Franklin, right on River, with a new layover spot on River.

I can't find the slide from the presentation (the City's website for this is terrible), but buses won't be making that turn.

But also the southwest corridor is state-owned and the Melnea Cass bike path/sidewalk/park is city-owned.

87-101 Blanchard Rd. Replacing the 2-story commercial strip with 110 senior affordable units. https://www.cambridgema.gov/CDD/Projects/Housing/87101blanchardroad https://www.cambridgema.gov/-/media/Files/CDD/ZoningDevel/ahoreview/787101blanchardrd/87101blanchardrd_aho_vol1.pdf

The empty Christmas Tree Shop and Bed, Bath, and Beyond spaces at Assembly are becoming a Bob's Discount Furniture and a Raymour & Flanigan furniture store. There's already an Ashley Furniture at Assembly. Very odd...

Is this new entrance only temporary during headhouse reconstruction or do they intend to have some sort of access remain within the building?

It's because it was done as a stopgap measure since the Melnea Cass redesign got put on the backburner. They couldn't leave it as it was (unrideable), but it also didn't make sense to throw too much money at something that had only a few years left. Maybe that few years will end up being a...

213 Harvard is actually a replacement for a similarly sized condo building that burnt down a couple years back. https://www.cambridgema.gov/-/media/Files/inspectionalservicesdepartment/bzadocuments/213harvardstbza154221documents.pdf
