The city has actually been finding a decent compromise at intersections with turning lanes. They are running concurrent peds but holding the turns so they are basically protected concurrent phasing. The intersection in City Sq is a good example. Before bridge construction, the intersection was...

Does Ed Flynn or GBH know that almost every walkable city in the world uses concurrent pedestrian phasing? The problem isnt concurrent, the problem is the mix of using concurrent and exclusive which leads to drivers not paying attention and thinking peds shouldnt be crossing. Exclusive phasing...

This is part of the approved Hood master plan. Each building goes through its own design review/submission. but this building is different than what was approved in the master plan so there is a little more to the review than just design. This review is also for the open space, Hood Green, as...

so we are naming this thread after the smallest of the 4 buildings? why not just call it Harrison Albany Block as on the BPDA website: https://www.bostonplans.org/projects/development-projects/harrison-albany-block-plan-pda

seriously? that revenue is constant regardless of where they are playing. not part of the equation of which is in the teams best interest to play in their own stadium or not.

this is a waste of time to continue to discuss until people (person?) acknowledge that this trumps everything else when it comes to a sports franchise making money. Playing in a 25K seat stadium when your only revenue is from selling seats, while not likely not filling anywhere near close to...

White Stadium is 3 years in the making at this point. When it started there was no discussion of a Revs stadium in Everett. Even at this point, even with an agreement signed earlier in 2025, the Everett Stadium still has a permitting process to go through and construction. its at least 5...

and just to make sure its included in the discussion, anything Article 80 large project review (more than 50KSF) has had parking maximums (not minimums) in effect for most/all of the 21st century. Those projects do not go through zoning for their parking numbers, even when they need zoning...

SL3 is being rerouted from bypass Rd using Chelsea St through Day Sq. project providing the roadway and then the T/City can make the connection to the Bypass Rd when they are ready (highlighted area).

is there a similar sized city/metropolitan area (or smaller or non Michelin I guess) that you think would do better? genuinely asking. Charleston comes to mind I guess.

cant have the driveway of BSG meet Rutherford directly next to the Tobin ramp intersection. one of the many reasons the other proposal was better (but not selected due to the bait and switch that happened). thats a ped bridge over the driveway:

Planning Dept and APCC (where under their jurisdiction) would not allow it even developers could afford to build parking and not get revenue from that parking.

The red outline there is actually bigger than the shipwright site and includes 830 lynnway. That is a separate development bigger than shipwright (twice as big I think).

if you really care, check out the recordings of the BPDA meetings from a few months ago. the architects explained the facade (I dont remember exactly, but something to do with music I believe)

just need to run the amount of buses that were planned for 30 years ago. it would then have more capacity between SS and SLW than the main trunk of the green line. also better bus connections to the south on the red line at broadway or andrew would also make it so not everybody had to be on...

thanks for the clarification. I thought they were 1 project since they were under construction back to back. I wouldnt say they are unrelated though, the MCCA seems like they responded to the roadway improvements by creating a nicer edge on their parcel to match. There is no way design wasnt...

this is Cypher St. Its a MassDOT/Massport redesign (and extension from D St to E St). Its meant to create a more direct truck route connection between Conley Terminal and the Bypass Rd instead of using the Haul Rd, which takes you into Marine Industrial Park. this presentation provides a good...

the bus lane was put in when the bridge was already under construction and there was only 1 NB lane going over the bridge. theory was that you didnt need 2 lanes feeding it. The bridge is now 'complete' and there are 2 lanes again. the 1 NB lane at the bridge is what caused the traffic issue...

interesting, thats a pretty big space for one retail use.
