We’ll see. They were powered on today except for a few of those closest to the higher platform numbers

For me, this is reinforcing the sentiment that I just think the building as a whole is unattractive. The hat may be the first jarring element the eye lands on, but it's not the only thing keeping the building from looking better. Obviously it's all subjective, some people like it. But the more I...

What an absolute pile of trash.

My issue with it has been the actual appearance of the building, not the height or scale. I don't believe that it's going to look that out of place for Portland and find those arguments to be overblown. 200 feet higher than the next tallest isn't really all that dramatic (even when accounting...

Just following up on this - the article said, "Cape Air has suspended its daily nonstop flights between New Bedford Regional Airport and Boston Logan International Airport, effective November 7, just five weeks after launching the service on September 29. The decision stems from the FAA’s...

Good! It's still wild to me that their most optimistic estimate for a construction start date is next December.

I know I've been beating this drum for over a decade, but I'm not even a little bit surprised. As-is, Southcoast rail is a crap service. It's wildly overpriced, it took too long to build, and it's not nearly as fast and frequent as it should be. But there are hundreds of thousands of people in...

I'm not an electrical engineer so I'm not exactly sure what I was listening to lol. But I think it's a transformer that's essential for the pavilion. My understanding is that it will also be utilized by future construction in the area (like Dyer Wharf) which is why it seems so overbuilt for just...

Confirmed that this is electrical work related to the pavilion.

Interesting (and optimistic) pitch for a Providence subway: https://thetransitguy.substack.com/p/what-if-the-italians-built-a-subway?utm_campaign%3Dpost%26utm_medium%3Dweb=&triedRedirect=true

I had the same thought when I first saw that fencing, but now I'm not sure that's for Dyer Wharf. Parcel 14 is across the street from the park. That fencing and job site are in the park. Maybe it's staging, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's not affiliated with Parcel 14. Would love to be wrong...

Shocking.

The city issues a housing report: https://www.wpri.com/target-12/providence-housing-progress-report-shows-nearly-900-housing-permits-issued-in-fy-2025/ Here's the actual report...

Not like some other airports, no. But I can still see how this appeals to a lot of travelers. Especially infrequent travelers who are often intimidated by the whole experience and unsure of what to expect at the airport. Arriving airside having already cleared security and checked bags takes...

Nice pics! I love Mystic. Now that we're down in Providence, we go a few times a year. We went Labor Day weekend and had a great time - got takeout from Mystic Fish Camp and ate it in the park behind the building. I totally get why some visitors just pop off of I-95 and do the Aquarium/Olde...

Fantastic upgrade for that spot.

While annoying in your situation, that kind of makes sense. It's to prevent people from "cheating" by having multiple people scan a single ticket several times. It's the same reason why you can't scan your monthly subway pass at a Red Line gate, immediately exit, and then scan again to get back...

No gates yet, but Keolis employees are acting as gates this afternoon, checking tickets before granting access to the platform. This could take people a while to get used to.

I certainly agree on the cooperative effort between MassDOT and the city. It's both rare and impressive. I'm not yet ready to credit too much of what's happening down there to Phase 1 of South Coast Rail, however. For starters, there's been some momentum along the waterfront for over a decade...
