138' is really quite odd for a apron box - it's substantially larger than Group III, yet not big enough for any of the group IV aircraft other than the 757. I'd chalk it up to legacy things, but that's still narrower than most 707s and DC8s wanted and those gates were only built in the 90s...

I mean, they did hollow out the shell space for a new lounge in C a couple years ago; JetBlue's BlueHouse is going in near C25 in a space unimpacted by this proposal and apparently is still scheduled to open this summer though I've not seen any press on it. More interestingly though, now that...

Ah so I do know some of the history for this. All of that area as illustrated was part of a single master planned project of 7 buildings, which Massport ground leased out in 2000 to Roseland (now Veris) which led to an eventual groundbreaking in 2006. The financial crisis forced a pause on...

One of the things I think is possibly overlooked is that despite looking pretty finished, what we're looking at is still a temporary interim condition - they still have to build all of phase 2. Notably, the more prominent Western face, the side that faces the river on what was North Anderson st...

Yea that's definitely part of it - really any passenger service airport should probably have something like that, even if its not a full "ambulift" like a major airport would have, they make smaller ones that are more akin to a scissor lift on a belt loader esque chassis, or are just towable...

Specifically, it's because there's no access points to the Red Line tunnel in Cambridge other than the Longfellow itself; This railing is actually a gate. It's the only way to get material, hi rails etc into the tunnel anywhere between Alewife and Charles/MGH. So, if they want to do trackwork at...

I don't think Brunswick would be on any major passenger carriers list of diversion airports, simply because it lacks services and ground staff - there's no gate agents / ground handling etc, or even potentially a stair truck to get passengers off the plane. That goes double for wide-bodies - not...

I mean they are doing full depth track reconstruction in Central Station itself; kinda hard to get past that. Based on their shutdown notice they're doing a lot of trackwork - I don't begrudge them for it, but I don't think we'll get a full summary until it reopens.

To be fair, the current CEO of Panera already works here - they have an office in Newton - I basically read it along the lines of they're moving the C-suite and executive team to join him, but as far as I can tell... Their C suite already doesn't work out of St. Louis. The dude was CFO before he...

See this link for the concept corridor roll plans for each of the alternatives; it mostly shows the full routing and details on where dedicated lanes would be, as well as stop locations. I'm personally not a huge fan, especially through Pawtucket where the BRT plans rely a lot more on shared...

So. I really did try to resist saying this... but with that color scheme it really does look like a baby Lubyanka. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubyanka_Building?wprov=sfla1

Updated community meetings on Metro Connector, with not particularly very much in the way of changes since 2025 - except we now have order of magnitude cost, speed, and ridership estimates, as well as preliminary renders. https://www.ripta.com/node/1180...

Do carriers do cart swaps at PWM? I don't know that there's enough call at PWM for cart swaps for drinks and snacks when for most airlines PWM is just a quick turn. They often don't restock at outstations like PWM - they do downline catering, where the plane brings in what it'd need for the...

That is admittedly the point of these remote terminals; you and your bags clear TSA out in Framingham and then you arrive at Logan airside, thereby skipping the lines at Logan. There's a reason it's on a remote lot from the garage with its own structure - even out there there's "landside &...

There's some effort towards that, previously discussed on AB here and down: Post in thread 'Take Back The Streets (...and alleys)' http://archboston.com/community/threads/take-back-the-streets-and-alleys.6342/post-514658

The new North End Community center & Mirabella Pools have been under construction for a while - groundbreaking was last year - but to date I hadn't seen renders of what it was going to look like, so I thought I'd drop them here...

To be fair, it's worth keeping in mind that's not all for BFD - it's designed as a lab/office building first and foremost. BFD would be basically becoming a condo owner/leaser, as it'd only control some 10k square feet for its station and it's bays within the larger structure. Think more "public...

Plans were released for the rebuild of McGrath's Squire Bridge reconstruction & adjacent segments. Notably features grade separate bike lanes throughout, connecting to those extant at Third St, reserves space underneath for a future shared use path alongside the Grand Junction. Also appears to...

I mean, it's a great thing to remove any of those unused dams, but is the Watertown dam that much of an impact singlehandedly?Less than 2 miles upstream and you'll hit the Bleachery and then the Moody Street dam, which is a much more significant impoundment, and for which I don't believe there...
