as of Oct 2022 update: 3 lanes of traffic will switch to the new bridge in Winter 2023 The bridge will be fully open to all users in Winter 2024 The contract will be completed in Spring 2025 after the temporary bridge is demolished From what I remember, the east sidewalk will open when the 3...

Sweeney Field is going on the roof of the parking on parker St (converting lot to garage).

arent those just the zoning heights/density as set in the 100 Acres Master Plan?

From Seaport Square permitting docs: the 2000 South Boston Transportation Study which outlined a full build Silver Line condition of 89 vehicles per hour during the peak hours via the use of three bus sets operating in tandem. This would result in the Silver Line accommodating 195 passengers...

As for the cones, I take the locks most days, so don't know how frequent it's been. But the 2 times I've seen it in use, left lane isn't used much and the opposite traffic (SB Rutherford and Chelsea st) is an absolute mess, including right now.

one of the great aspects is the open space going up onto the roof of the building. this was all open space and the City wanted to have a street wall on Rutherford. this solution solves for having the biggest open space and a street wall. BTD and MassDOT have long been undergoing a redesign of...

yes and no on this. part of the reason the queue is on the bridge is because there is only the 1 lane feeding 4 at the actual signal. making this 2 lanes a longer distance will actually allow for more efficiency at the signal (but agreed, it wont help the queues coming up N Washington and...

Seaport square master plan works like this, master plan approves uses/SF/envelopes of buildings (that's what the recent NPC was) and then each individual block goes through BCDC. It's always been this way (eg, 88 Seaport already through BCDC a couple years back, but not built). Block G has not...

Cars can be moved. The other option would be ground level or 2nd level parking. No thanks. Not to mention 5' does protect below grade if there isn't a way for water to get into the building.

BU would not allow Babcock to be connected. just getting Malvern to connect (for buses only) was a fight. the intent would not be to only have those 2 bus lines connecting to the station. the busway and the connectivity it brings is big reason why west station is still part of all of this.

thats not accurate. even the first post of this thread does not go back far enough to include the entire process of whats been attempted.

'they' are 2 different entities though. Skanska had bought the 2 sites of 101 and 121 from BGI and initially constructed the plaza. WS then bought all of the remaining sites of Seaport Square, changed the vision to include the pedestrian Harbor Way and are now reconstructing this portion to...

this shot, is why they used support from underneath instead of cable stayed/suspension that would have needed something tall. they didnt want this bridge competing with the Zakim. I would say that is the right design decision

thanks for posting this. expected completion was fall of 2023 before this delay.

BHCC land is only north of bridge. parking lots are owned by the BPDA. and yes, they will be looking to redevelop as well. its been mentioned during PLAN Charlestown.

The garage is still open and will remain open.

You have to remember when this was designed/permitted. Good chance it was before protected bike lanes were being done in the city.

am I missing something? why the post from an old announcement on work that is already done?

south of Sullivan, whats the point of option 6? bus service parallel to the orange line? no thanks option 3 with the Sullivan to Kendall route of option 5 (or 7).
