I don't know how Woburn government works, so just wondering if the Council president's opinion on the idea has meaning or significance vs the mayor or rest of council?

A bunch more recent articles about this: Delayed projects, low morale: Boston’s streets department is stalling under Wu, long a transit champion Advocates and city staff say the majority of Boston’s transit, street safety projects have stalled over past year...

What a terrible experience for the CBT design team. To go to a community process with something your client approved of, only to have them bash it in front of everybody. This will gain Flynn some points with the community in the near term as he comes off as "this project is terrible", but in the...

Which one is current? The first image is completely different than the second two.

Meh, that just means they didn't realize it was a possibility to plan a route through some else's property on an undetermined timeline. It could become a 'plan' anytime they decide.

A helpful directive from the governor's office would be to direct state agencies to allow bluebikes stations on their properties/land without a million hoops (MBTA and DCR).

This caught my eye. Construction loan for 9 Wyman Rd Cambridge (currently a single family home). Says 55 units. Appears to front Huron Ave https://maps.app.goo.gl/EvL9uyRs3sM1Lji1A

This doesn't seem to be new information? More than a year ago their concept plans already showed that they weren't going to be building on that parcel. I'm sure they wanted to buy the house and would welcome it if it worked out, but this idea that they had to pivot and redo the whole thing seems...

This. I don't know much about this particular meeting, but in my neighborhood I noticed the following trend: A community meeting occurs with 20-30 people. 2-3 angry neighbors rant for 20 mins about somewhat irrelevant concerns only tangentially impacted by the project. 5 others have 'concerns'...

And a Christmas tree on the third floor?

I like to think of it this way: I'll assume that a lot of us here play games like Sim City, Cities Skylines, etc. When residents are sick, do you zone commercial and hope that a company builds a hospital or do you plop and maintain one as a government cost? [for those that don't play, the...

There's a couple things at play here though: - Existing red line goes to South Station and this would bring folks to North Station. Looks to be about a 10 min improvement vs switching at park or downtown (not saying that's worth the cost) - Healthpeak (south of tracks) is about half of the...

Construction of the Project can begin upon the completion and occupancy of the new Simmons Living and Learning Center on the Simmons Academic Campus, which allows the existing uses on the Residence Campus to be relocated. The first quarter of 2027 is the earliest that the Proponent anticipates...

I wonder how this felt from the employee and vendor standpoint. All small-ish operations. Like did they already layoff their staff and cut back / cancel deliveries and now need to somehow reestablish them ASAP?

I don't understand why they made the track-side sidewalk absolutely gigantic and left no room to continue the sidewalk level cycle track on the other side without removing parking. There was plenty of room in the right of way for sidewalk bike lanes on both sides AND parking...

Let me rephrase. What I'm interested in is what was the cost and time difference in quotes from Suffolk vs the other handful of contractors that are all actively working on MBTA contracts? Why add it as an irrelevant change order to Symphony Station vs the others ongoing? I'd have to imagine the...

The question I wanted an answer to (and that was missing from the article), was did the MBTA overpay because of this or was the price reasonable? Hard to know what would have resulted from a competitive process, but if the AG is letting this slide, it would be nice to at least know if we were...
