    Is this project associated with this one in any way (developers, funding, etc.)? The two projects might benefit each other once they're both up and running.

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    Wynn has already been struggling with additional parking at the East of Broadway project immediately adjacent to this site. The latest SFEIR submitted to MEPA reduced that proposal by about another 10 percent. I think it's at about 2300 spaces now from the original plan of over 3000. So...

    There is some context as to why that would be the case in this instance. This, and more specifically, this.

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    To clarify, there was feeling in recent posts that Boston wanted to either to have a significant voice in what gets developed, and if it felt it couldn’t get that to scupper it all together. The point I was trying to make was that neither of those two outcomes was likely. The manner that the...

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    Being tangentially familiar with the volume of grease that flows on that side of the Mystic, we can all be confident that: the Kraft family has been invited as a player to secure loans and to bring their good name, the public input/community outreach/CLF lawsuits will not play a significant...

    Cape Cod Rail, Bridges and Highways

    Do you mean get off 25 onto 6 going to the Cape, or off 28 to 6A going off? Yikes. Good luck with NIMBYs in that scenario. Also, not for nothing but besides the residents of Falmouth and MV, the Steamship Authority, Wood Hole, USGS, and Otis might have a different opinion on the Bourne just...

    Canopy on both sides was an ask by the town given the full height platforms’ final elevation. It will be about the same height as standing and waiting on the roof off a two or three story house. T said they‘d make the change if the town paid for it. So town decided inbound only was the way to...

    Cape Cod Rail, Bridges and Highways

    Not sure if it matters for this conversation, but I do know the ASCE is considering the increased BEV weights in their next ASCE-7 live loads review cycle. Likely won't impact the decision-making process for the replacement project now, but a BEV car can weigh as much as an ICE pickup, and...

    The final design is a bit different than those renderings. All the access (ramps, stairs, etc.) on the outbound side will be in the Aberjona parking lot, and there will be a canopy along the length of the inbound platform. No construction past the Quill rotary any longer. No word on the HSR...

    Water transportation was designed for the typical male breadwinner to take the ferry to the office and then come back – that 1950s lifestyle. Fill in the Charles and pave it over. Think of all the bridge construction and maintenance savings.
