    Chestnut Hill Infill and Small Developments

    No argument - - there would need to be a lot of pedestrian, bike and bus infrastructure changes. I am NOT advocating for more parking. The traffic from 1+ space per unit would choke the area. I'm not sold on this particular location being a great idea for this massive new development WITHOUT...

    Chestnut Hill Infill and Small Developments

    Ditch the useless median - definitely. But the trucks for supplies/maintenance etc will still be a huge add to the traffic there. This isn’t one medium sized building - this is a massive multi-building project at a current choke point. Anyone who thinks more than 20% of the folks in that new...

    Chestnut Hill Infill and Small Developments

    Absolutely. 100% agree. But this massive development, with those new 12-14 story buildings, would most certainly result in additional car/truck congestion in this bottleneck. Simply wishing that that amount of additional development won't further choke it isn't reality. Creative solutions...

    Chestnut Hill Infill and Small Developments

    I hear ya about the de-highwayizing and the slip ramps, but Rte 9 there is still a terrible choke point. And it will only grow - especially with that new development possibilty- Charlie's added level theory would work here (if only the financials did too). Something creative is required there...

    Chestnut Hill Infill and Small Developments

    Bingo - "road diet" for that particular clusterfuck area is the very last thing I would dare do - - that already is a clogged aorta waiting for a heart attack. Traffic there is nightmarish 12 hours per day in both directions. I do like Charlie's subsequent idea though - if anything, do the...

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    UNBELIEVABLE - - - the 2026 Marathon takes place in less than 3 weeks and this STILL is not complete?????? This is a bad look for Boston to the rest of the world. 'Heckuva job, Brownie' (or Mayor Wu)...

    My ol' elementary school from 1969-1976 :cry: . But I'm happy for the community.

    1280-1330 Boylston Street, Brookline

    It's the Frederick Law Olmstead School of Architectural Renders - - - where the renders need to be at least 40% park-like greenery on the building - - - which will never happen in real life. I can picture the scene now: Manager runs into artist's office "Folks, c'mon, I need you to Olmstead...

    Vega (MXD Residential ) | 121 Broadway | Kendall Square

    Great transformation project with great technology, but it looks like it still will be THERE with the stacks.

    Vega (MXD Residential ) | 121 Broadway | Kendall Square

    Man, I know some folks really like smokestacks, but if only that one on the Cambridge side of the Longfellow (Kendall Cogeneration Station?) could move............(yes, yes, I know, it's very important and all...)

    50 Herald Street | Chinatown / South End

    I hear ya on a personal basis, but it didn't close - - it moved. Given that area of Newton Centre, I'd venture to guess the cash flow is quite good and they're looking to grow.
