    Quincy General Developments

    I think who the business serves matters. The construction equipment storage site adds no value to the community, and the auto shop on a well trafficked corner barely more than that. Both could even argued as negatives, it's not like there is a lack of auto repair shops in the neighborhood. My...

    Quincy General Developments

    A 4th recreational pot store planned in Quincy, but it needs a special permit. As a neighbor, I love to see it. Anything that roots out the random chunk of industrial use in the middle of otherwise residential/mixed use South Quincy. It's really weird that living in a quiet light density area...

    Biking in Boston

    Yes the former, i.e. a particular part of a route that is frequently obstructed, causing you to avoid that part entirely.

    Biking in Boston

    Hello ArchBoston! My name is Kyle Casiglio, and as many of you know I am transportation planner at the Boston Region MPO. The MPO is conducting a study to identify and recommend strategies to prevent vehicle drivers from parking in bike lanes. We are interested in hearing from the cycling...

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    I wish I could give you a better source than “trust me bro” but from what I’ve been told and understand the “T” branding is being dropped. There will be a little clock showing 15 minutes on the bus stop signs, but the route numbers won’t be “T1”

    Red Line Extension to Mattapan

    Even if the funding were available, do Milton and Arlington actually want those things?

    Evolving use of Office and other Space

    https://thequincysun.com/foxrock-properties-acquires-crown-colony-building/ This cheerleading press release fails to mention an important detail, this building went for $43million in 2018, sells in 2024 for $6million. How long can a sprawling exurb style office park within walking distance of...

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    ”What traffic model they’re using” isn’t a secret, it’s the MPO’s. Updated modeling is ongoing. My personal opinion: In the past, the older model has been used far beyond recommendation to justify a conservative (small c, in the sense of the auto-centric status quo) approach to the design. I...

    It’s a shame, because the growth and success of our universities SHOULD be the success of the region. I want to cheerlead this. But when housing is artificially made zero sum…well here we are.

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

    Woof, totally disagree. @JeffDowntown is almost certainly correct that these structures won’t survive the environmental remediation process, the costs will probably be prohibitive. But if done well it could be iconic. Non-Serious Stretch goal: I want the smokestack to poof every time a goal is...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Has there been any type of report on MBTA leased stores post pandemic? I know, for example, the Quincy Adams one shut down but the Quincy Center one remains.

    General Boston Discussion

    Especially when, ostensibly, a very large percentage of those 20-23 are college students who came from elsewhere. I'd be MUCH more interested in a survey of 25-35 year olds. The vast majority of people I know who stayed around the area after college are still here in our early 30s. Now that...

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    I get what you're saying, and in that sense there is a definition for any specific agency's project. I believe we're talking about two different things. Yes, there are specific definitions used by each agency, but there isn't A definition. The general public to whom Senator Markey is speaking is...

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    That is true in DOTs case. DOT’s definition does not align with the EPA’s, or the Department of Commerce’s, or the Office of Management and Budget. Each has their own definition and tool for identifying EJ communities and disadvantaged areas. Justice40 very explicitly does *not* define EJ...

    Environmental Justice. Ask 10 agencies what constitutes an EJ community and you’ll get ten different answers. There is no official federal definition.

    Quincy General Developments

    So this concept was when the project was at 25% design. Significant improvements have been made in the meantime, and I saw the 75% design plans today. The northern approach has had the sharrows/bike lane replaced by the conversion of the existing 5' sidewalk to a 10' multi-use path from the...

    Milton infill and small development

    Again speaking to how silly it is that Milton is taking this approach, so many towns have just recognized how easy it is to just "comply" with the law while making sure very, very little is able to be built. If only Milton had a large regional bus depot in the middle of construction they could...

    Local politics is so deeply, frustratingly, small “c” conservative. We dreamed big and fucked up big with post-war planning and development. Now each individual change to the built environment has a hefty burden of proof that it won’t make things worse, even when the benefits seem obvious.
