Yes, it’s a nice one, and loops back to swampscott

Interesting, I thought the gravestone store would outlast a lot of the other lots that are ripe for redevelopment around here. And there are a quite a few. The city should just rezone the whole area from Ukraine to Arboretum. It’s next to a transit hub and it’s really not next to existing...

I completely agree. RTH has historically be a great story, but at this point, like many once-good entities, they too are standing in the way of change in a way that is unrealistic.

I do wonder what a designer would have done here. Are there comparable examples from Europe or Asia? There must be. I think the font is nice and simple, personally, but symmetry and alignment are design 101, particularly for this project which is literally enclosed by repeating symmetrical...

Article in B&T about this recently: https://bankerandtradesman.com/roslindale-upzoning-unlocks-bnai-brith-development/ 30% is something. The city should aim to reduce it further, and achieve reductions across the board, since I'm not sure how many projects this quoted stat actually applies to...

I really don’t know what it is about Boston and Massachusetts infrastructure design—it has always been perennially, and needlessly, dangerous. From four lanes that merge on highways into three with little warning, to zebra stripes on busy roads in dimly lit areas that are begging to leave a...

It looks like there are holes for posts in these things? I can’t imagine the little bumps themselves are the whole plan: that seems very dangerous for bikes and cars once you get a few inches of snow that covers them. @Stlin @as02143 the flex posts put in on Walter St in Roslindale got...

Im gonna need to try to attend all the meetings for these. I think it is possible with concerted efforts to preserve some sort of inner pedestrian passages. For location I actually think a thrift store is one of the few that probably is just as fine on Wash as it is on Corinth. Thrift...

Looks good, I wish it had a couple more floors. I worry that the commercial space is too big and feel like we have a long tradition with Boston micromanaged development where the commercial space in new buildings like this is too large, too pricy, and fails to find a permanent tenant. It’s on...

This will be such a great project. This is a major intersection that always feels like it should feel more “on the map” than it is. I haven’t picked up from Down Home in years but used to really enjoy them, nice people, too.

You could prob email the Kennedy school and inquire. If it’s not released I doubt they’d release it but worth a shot

Can’t we in the not too distant future just have some sort of big brother-ish yet effective broadband control of e bike speeds? Ban any e bike that doesn’t allow for such control, some sort of signal blocks it from capping a certain speed anywhere in the town limits. Sounds crazy and draconian...

Rats…

Not sure if anyone has heard anything but I think this scaffolding is new and the two zone sign shows there was some activity here.

Been seeing construction there for a while, had no idea it was Gronk. Pretty cool donation.

Im a little amused that the conversation went from this post to the Citgo sign, and not that it matters or anyone should care, but in this post I was referring the stupid WHOOP sign. It's horrible. As for Citgo I love the debates. Im for it and grew up here and I associate some of my...

I have also read this in regards to the Roslindale MBTA parking lot.

Incredible post. I had no idea that building on Webster in Coolidge was a power station — and I am from Brookline and have parked there millions of times. More broadly, what a great architectural collection these buildings are.

Not sure why you’re replying as if my simple stating of a fact is some sort of histrionic anxiety attack. We organize developments by neighborhood on this board and when something is on an incorrect thread, the mods move it. Not much else to it.
