there are residential neighbors and there are business neighbors. you can guess which ones want the parking and got the change. Also, in fairness, its a 260' long bike lane where it transitions back to the street up until Neptune St and then becomes sharrows again. it wasnt going to be as...

I was on my phone as I walked by and didnt realize I posted the below in the wrong thread until now. Im not sure if there is a watch party set for the Sunday final: http://archboston.com/community/threads/city-hall-discussion-redevelopment-preservation-relocation.1415/post-521489

Watch party there now has a decent number of people. No fences, no tickets needed

those are 2 completely different events though. The Celtics (or Patriots first SB) were 1 time events in the middle of the day. The City closed all the streets around City Hall for those so there wasnt a concern about capacity and overlfow of people into the streets. This was multiple events...

what cost? and there is #6 for the list. 6, I couldnt see in 'it is so crowded there are people standing in the middle of Cambridge St. Somebody is going to get hit' or 'they closed Cambridge St during a weekday evening commute?'

thanks for doing some research and sharing the actual positivity that was around the area for a few weeks. are there though? Valid? Here are the criticisms Ive seen and the complaining responses people would have come up with if things were done as per the complaint. ("All the negativity...

its because its consistent. you yield to peds on turns. drivers know it. Drivers here need to look at the ped signal to know, and 90% dont even know to do that much less attempt to do it. its the one ways in NYC that make it easier (more so than the grid layout). But the predictability is...

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.
