It depends on the design, but this one looks like it would slow car traffic enough, that I'd feel very comfortable riding my bike through it.

As a rider, I'd be pretty okay to just go catch the next train at my local station, then make a downtown transfer if the destination isn't the one that I need. Keep in mind, the vast majority of trips will involve the terminal zone as one of the destination pairs. It really wouldn't matter to me...

I'm a fan of number 3, which really evokes the state's relationship with the ocean.

I was a regular at the Souper Salad in those days, and also enjoyed walking through the "mall" between Arlington and Berkeley as part of my regular commute.

So instead of building space to house human beings, we are building space to house the belongings of people who already have housing, did I get this right?

I was under the impression that this sort of thing could now be done as of right under the most recent Roslindale zoning update, but maybe this spot is off the map, so to speak, on the residential areas now zoned for four units. Regardless, I'm glad this was approved, there is no need for such a...

I get the impulse to refer to it in that way, but this is really significantly different, mostly in favorable ways. Unlike the hole, this is now a ready to build parcel. It covers a scar, rather than having created one. It could potentially become a temporary plaza, rather than a dangerous...

It also works with the view corridors, effortlessly tying together the various adjacent buildings in each direction. This is really well designed. Not everything needs to be a tower, and I think this is the right height for the location.

People will die in order to convenience driving. That is not a civilized value.

It certainly can be seen as a lost opportunity. Really, almost every vacant lot or decrepit building replaced with something new but uninspiring can be seen that way. But nevertheless, this is at least somewhat eye catching in that it's a little different, has some elements that nicely mirror...

I will say, his media relations game is on point, but the operational ability to deliver is sadly lacking.

Yeah, that's much more equitable if they keep this going. Hopefully they will do something about single purchase fairs next, because pass holders might not be as significant a growth market compared to occasional or one-off riders. Also significant, the expansion of transfer options. Unlimited...

Yeah, that was my thought when I saw the video last week. I want some park, at least enough for a multi-use path to thread it's way through to the South West Corridor, but also lots of mid-rise housing.

So car drivers violate the lane with impunity, and the conclusion is that the lane shouldn't be there? How about a conclusion that enforcement or physical barriers are needed instead? The point of bus lanes is that they do, in fact, inconvenience drivers in favor of bus riders. What are we even...

And that whole conversation was back in March, wtf, bringing it back now.

Fantastic news. Both parcels are in areas that can and should support much higher density. 3841 Washington will extend the density spine from the other side of Forest Hills and Hyde Park Ave. It would be great to see more of this, at least as far as Arboretum Road. And 4301 Washington is less...

That is a pretty impressive increase for three stations. I have to think when the line is completed through Phase 3 in Westwood, that it will be huge for L.A. transit.

Not a bad idea in the abstract, but I can already picture the screaming when the city starts floating the idea of closing Dartmouth --- "they want to take away the space for food trucks!"

Yes, that has always been my understanding. But like I said, it appeared to be open when I rode by, as in the door itself looked open. Most likely some sort of maintenance activity was going on, and I just happened to be there during the 15 minutes that the door was open. We can always hope, for...

I think it's good to have some kind of pavement indicators, just so that people understand not to put up temporary exhibits, tables, etc. It wouldn't be so much as a lane, so much as a zone meant only for pedestrians when emergency vehicles aren't there, while everything aside from that could be...
