Oh I live next to Hackensack! They are sure building a lot here…. I just wish the transit was better!

Yes! It will be interesting to see what type of transit will be added with this proposal.

I believe so, if done correctly. I think if there was better ground level and a good amount of units (instead of .. like 125 penthouse type apartments) it would work best. Although, some of the projects I work on in Manhattan are replacing street level businesses with these 30-75+ floor towers...

I did for Harbor Tower, idk if I can since I dont live in the City of Boston anymore. I totally would if we can get a group together to do this.

Oh great another meeting for wealthy, older, white bostonians with a $4 million condo in the neighborhood to complain about how a 300ft building will RUIN their quality of life and create traffic in the downtown of America’s sixth largest urban core. The meeting will be nothing but a joke...

Agreed, i was walking through and went to the REI there. The space feels so open. It was missing something. But cool nonetheless

Yeah I was just visiting Boston this past weekend and The Blue Line would be so much more useful if it extended to like Kenmore or Lynn. Like one other place. Lol. It feels so short.

Will the new bus terminal associated with this project help make way for regional busses, similar to that of the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC?

well, what about the four hours they choose not to run the trains? also, cant they interline the tracks? Can the Braintree train run on Ashmont lines if they need to do work on one of the tracks?

My friend is in Boaton and took the Red Line and she said it was going painfully slow. How bad can this red line be? Its not a 24/7 line, they have atleast 4 hours every night to do work. I work for the MTA now and we would kill for this time. What exactly is Boston doing? Are they doing work...

Yep! I am aware, however, latest post was less than 24 hours ago so its not really a bump… just asking clarification from post #4 made yesterday.

Is this an actual proposal, formally submitted, or more or less a fantasy? I don’t see any project specific documents. But perhaps I am just bad at navigating Boston project info!

why cant housing be built in Boston, specifically neighborhoods like Hyde Park as this project, like they can in other cities?? What is going on?

Honestly, yes. If they cut the pensions down and just increased the pay a bit... it would be a big W and attract more people. i am not sure how the MBTA works but the MTA is giving me close to 15k in pension benefits when I calculate it out. I could retire at 55 if I wanted to, no lie. Its...

they pay the starting salary, the lowest figure. Transportation Planners get 66k to start at the T. At the MTA it is $75.5k. I went through both of these and the MBTA pays significantly lower than others. The COL is in a way higher in Boston area over NYC arwa because I live in Bergen County NJ...

https://www.apta.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-Q1-Ridership-APTA.pdf New APTA Report shows Boston MBTA System has made significant gains over the past year, although I didn't read it, some were saying that it passed Chicago's. But Boston is really outpacing other cities.

Any word on B6 to CDG? I find it odd that AMS already has a November date. Yet CDG was announced first and there are still no signs of the flight coming on line. Good to here about GND though. That was a must add for the Caribbean.

wow it closes at 9pm. I thought it would be at the very least... 12am.

I don't think you need to make separate threads for each article, we already have threads dedicated to these topics.

Pretty short suspensions for seasonal services on Delta. IIRC, last year and the year before they ran May to October. This is all promising!
