I sort of did; I fed it the prompt "using existing data and maps of Boston, generate a map that depicts a future state of transit and infrastructure." I then told it to justify itself. It has a somewhat tenuous grasp on geography still, but based on what it's scraped, it's basically gotten to...

The only reasonable argument I've come across is in cases where copyright is actually a concern - You'd either need to pay shutterstock for a licence (and be aware of the categories and limitations therein) or an artist for the rights to reproduce their art. AI produced content can't currently...

I will point out the MBTA has an interesting and barely public unique "early morning" service on some routes - if you look at say, the 39, 57, 89 or 116, the first trip of the day both begins before 5am and by footnote continue to Haymarket, despite those routes notionally ending at transfer...

I didn't have much of a problem with the ticketed waiting area when I was last down there - seating was more than sufficient for my 6pm-ish NER. my bigger issue, and I realize this is more of a legacy of the century old Penn Station, is the inevitable bottleneck getting down to the platforms and...

Eh? I'm not so sure. Based on the plans for the new Red Line hi rail access it's already just under the surface of the Linear Park, and in my years of using it I can safely say I've never noticed a train pass under me.

Out of curiosity... Boston is already seen as a pretty dog-unfriendly city as it is, especially compared to domestic migration hotspots like Austin, cities in the Carolinas, etc. as younger folks have more fur babies, places where they *can* take their dogs and have that lifestyle becomes more...

Ehhh? I've been to enough of these things that I agree in principle that MCCA probably shouldn't be organizing everything, but I think there's some nuance to that. Firstly, if they're thinking to attract small-midsize conferences? A lot of those are the ones that currently end up outside the...

The T today announced a new F10 “Harbor Loop” ferry route, beginning Monday, June 29, 2026 - Weekday Peak Only, but absolutely a good idea to be expanded upon. Lovejoy Wharf, Central Wharf, Seaport, Logan Airport in a loop for the price of a subway fare...

4R/22L is scheduled for its own rehabilitation over the whole of 2028 after 4L/22R is complete - I would assume they'd waiver 4L/22R for jet ops directionality during that. Also, 09/27 - the busiest - is scheduled to close this fall again for 75 days so they can finish the 27 end EMAS. Edit to...

My opinion is that it isn't flattering when viewed from Arlington St, but if you're looking at the front of it from Isabella, it's a lot more subtle. Keep in mind that this particular perspective is over a *surface parking lot* - In the long run that lot will most likely be redeveloped and...

Updated preliminary designs for Concord Rotary were shared with Concord local officials on Monday: options 1 & 2 are just updated versions of the ~2003 proposals, MassDOT apparently not keen on the at-grade option. Personally I like option 1, if they shorten some of those ramps and adjust lane...

It's already got one; but hey, it's something. Given it's gotten city money, it's probably on better financial footing than some other projects. https://archboston.com/community/threads/50-herald-street-chinatown-south-end.7108/

So I extracted the basic site plan from from the latest MBTA bids meeting slide deck, and overlaid it over the latest aerials - I think the hi rail access ramp will be a little further south than that - Those jersey barriers are under the "te" in site entrance - and likely require additional...

New renders from the community meeting, including new renders of the previous proposal and three new massing options, all of which appear to preserve unit count. Personal opinion... I still think the original proposal has the best podium, and for me that street level interaction is much more...

NGL, I also had the same reaction they did since I'm not familiar with the BC campus - for context, below street view snips are apparently the current building that will be gothicized.

So I generally like Streetsblog, but this while this one has merit on the whole it suffers from a couple of issues... Namely, it conflates total project budgets with what was actually programmed for spending in FY27 and beyond. JP South/Centre is described as having a $1M budget being cut to...

So I think both of us likely do some work in gov contracting, but I'm admittedly mostly on the side of those items typically procured only under the UPA, so I'll disclaim too much familiarity with any of the other sections. I think we're perhaps speaking past each other a little, so I'll...

Ehh it's honestly pretty common that sending the full RFP is restricted to only the RFQ or prequal'd respondents for business / bidding purposes. They did it for Type 10 procurement, for one example. Not giving it to the Globe when FOIA'd is a little weirder.

SRA on 4/10 received two proposals for the 90 Washington Street site, only one of which included graphics. Based on their timeline, going to move quickly from this point to selection or rejection by July. https://www.somervillema.gov/90-washington-redevelopment Wood Partners: 324 Units, 398...
