nitpicking a bit here, but again, its not the BPDA plan for circulation. They work with, but are ultimately given the future design by BTD/MassDOT. they are aware of what the future plans/capacity are at this time even if the public isnt. does Huntington Ave and Comm Ave underpasses at Mass...

Nope sorry. That's 8 highway lanes becoming 8 urban lanes. Much more narrow. And the reason the lanes aren't being reduced is because there will be signals at each end for pedestrian crossings. Where as now, it's free flow highway. And yes I realize that there is a lane closed in the tunnel...

2 years old but.... Not only not more lanes, but lanes designee to urban standards so a greater reduction in feet than just lanes. https://www.boston.gov/sites/default/files/file/2021/09/june-2021-revised-plan.pdf And the reasoning for the updated design that still hasn't been released...

PLAN Charlestown is by the BPDA. They don't design roadways. Sullivan/Rutherford is being designed by MassDOT and BTD. Though I'm sure BPDA has a more up to date idea of what is being designed now than what the public saw in 2021. But it's an important distinction, it's not the PLAN...

particularly, peak period traffic congestion that is not caused by area residents, but regional commuters and highway access. This is definitely the case in Sullivan Sq. Never going to win the congestion battle regardless of the uses around it.

Not a great pic because the view from the temp ped/car bridge is blocked by the view of the temp utility bridge, but street lights and trellis are going up.

that only works if its only median separated bus lanes that can exit/enter into Charlestown.

Or the consultant is very much aware of this but is showing existing transit in the most positive light possible to counter act people saying this is a 'transit desert', which is much much less accurate than showing an extra bus number on a route that has buses running on it full time. Besides...

Thanks for providing the context. since people on here have at least in an interest (if not more) in urbanism, it always surprises me how people will comment so thoroughly without knowledge of the expected future condition in the area. Obviously we need govt to follow through on those...

it was in their permitting documents. things change when when you have a major tenant with a lease starting and garage demo having issues http://archboston.com/community/threads/state-street-hq-one-congress-bulfinch-crossing-west-end.5753/post-379516

this is the Tishman Speyer site https://archboston.com/community/threads/tishman-speyer-lab-office-232-a-street-fort-point.6801/

The original layout had the this going between NW and SE. Currently, with the activity in the area right now, that would be better. However, long term, when Harbor Way becomes more of a destination, the layout between SW and NE will work better and provide a way between convention center/summer...

They are required to get the bus stop reopened within a certain time frame so that is why east parcel is being done next. it's also why it went from 3 buildings (with 2 over the orange/green lines) to 1 that is not over T infrastructure.

The 93 pre pandemic ran way more often than every 15 minutes and the T7 will as well (including 1 seat rides to downtown and seaport). All of this 'CTown isn't connected via bike' is more than a bit hyperbolic. No need to get to community college or whole foods. This route is 90% off street...

lets keep this in perspective that its a 10K seat stadium, not Foxborough, or even Fenway. The Orange line is a half mile away. I wouldnt call that no rapid transit.

the dark painted section will only be exposed until the other resi building is constructed.

There's an extra track on the southern end of the station.

the span would be longer there: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3909782,-71.0769275,118a,35y,358.23h,51.91t/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

the new bridge will have 5 travel lanes (2 outbound, 2 inbound, plus inbound bus lane) when finished.

also, not to defend Flynn or his position, but the OP is attributing text from an article as an actual quote from Flynn. there arent quotations in the UHub article.
