    Dick’s House of Sports | Prudential Center | Back Bay

    I don't know what I expected but this looks like a super standard suburban Dick's store.

    General Infrastructure

    Since it's already at 75% design and DCR isn't MassDOT, I know it won't happen, but I swear the western spur of Birmingham should be totally eliminated and replaced with a WB pike ramp. It should take a lot of load off the disasters that are Galen St and Watertown Square. Soldiers Field Rd...

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    Pretty much this. It's basically: "I helped secure money for justice! You wouldn't vote against someone who supports justice, right?"

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    The lighting of the CarGurus logo and crown look great.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Are you sure? It's not reflected on the T's slow zone dashboard at all. Was it re-added?

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Then why would they block it off? They could just leave them turned off like normal stairs.

    @king_vibe Yep, that's exactly what happened. Thank you for sharing the article about Gregg.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    The US is the sole issuer of its own currency. The federal government can run infinite deficits because it can instruct the Treasury to print new money. States and localities don't have their own currencies. They have to cover expenses with either revenue or debt. The free MassHealth premiums...

    Dunstan East | 1149-1185 Washington st | Newton

    Two things I'll believe when I see them: There will be that much small retail, and it's highly occupied. Washington St will be reduced to two car lanes.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Why would you compare government transportation spending against consumer goods pricing? It's like comparing banana yields to two point conversion successes.

    MBTA Construction Projects

    Damn, why does Winchester get near-total canopy coverage, but hardly any other stations?

    Roads and Highways General Development Thread

    That interchange today is super sketchy, so at least as a non-resident, I'm happy to see this.

    1550 Soldiers Field Road & 21 Soldiers Field Place | Brighton

    ^ It looks like actual cladding. Look at the texture (or pattern?).

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    Is it? I thought CarGurus was only leasing the south tower. The last renders I saw didn't have any signage, just a blank wall and indicated the north tower would be hotel/res. The footprint of the north tower is really narrow. But that was all before CarGurus signed.

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    I wish that blank section of wall could be in a less prominent location.

    Biking the Boston 'Burbs (Trails, MDC, & Towns beyond Hubway area)

    Just re-paving this was long overdue.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    There must be a modified version of Godwin's law, but with bootlicker.

    MassDOT Rail: Springfield Hub (East-West, NNERI, Berkshires, CT-Valley-VT-Quebec)

    It's pretty easy to declare things can be done cheaper, but it's a lot harder to be specific about how you will make cuts.

    MassDOT Rail: Springfield Hub (East-West, NNERI, Berkshires, CT-Valley-VT-Quebec)

    ^ Do Palmer and Holyoke have the same soil conditions and the same flood conditions? Do they have the same street layout? Do they have the same expected boardings and departures? Do they have the same bus connections? You're making a lot of assumptions when you assert the design can be the same.
