Happy to see it. Also, I thought we had learned our lesson from Vassar St that there needs to be some buffer between the cycle track and the walking are to reduce conflicts.

I've been seeing the new readers on my bus lately (62). So far the most I've seen is 2 near the front door. One right next to the existing fare box (on your right as you board) and one mounted to the pole as you get to the first seat (on the left as you pass). Haven't seen one at a rear door...

Some highlights from the December 14th meeting... PDF of the Presentation Three main goals/questions to answer: How can we expand community and city services in Central Square? How can we increase housing? How can we maintain flexibility, meet infrastructure needs, and increase open space...

Central Square City Lots Study I had missed this until recently but the city is looking at development opportunities on some city-owned parcels around Central Square. https://www.cambridgema.gov/Departments/communitydevelopment/centralsquarelots There was an online community meeting last night...

Before they put up that fencing to work on the restaurant the night time lighting made it look quite inviting when I was over there in December.

I believe so, here is a map I put together from MassDOT documents of the Pike Parcels. I am sure there are errors but it matches up generally with the BU master plan map.

Here is a previous answer, at least the start of one...

My only thought is that is should be a floor taller but the straight on view where I feel that way won't really be seen from the ground (narrow street) so, OK. Agree, better than a parking garage.

The asbestos mitigation seems to be the biggest piece of this. Also not currently occupied?

I like it a lot! I would even go farther and propose an at grade T intersection with Storrow at grade with crosswalks etc.

Plus one for the street wall and and infill Red Line station! I was looking around google maps after reading through this post this morning and the Red Line was my first thought. I know there have been ideas floated to move the Ashmont/Braintree Red Line split until after Savin Hill as part of...

That parking structure on the first proposal is "the worst"

I thought that they needed to be 225' to fit two Type 10s. (obviously there are no Type 10s in existence yet, so TBD). Pages 41 to 45 in this doc (from 2018) says that the platform length needed is 225 feet for 2 of the proposed Type 10s and then lists the platforms that don't meet this (a few...

Agreed! A bus conversion would be the worst outcome. Second, I suppose, to a rail to trail conversion with local bus substitution.

Aren't we all hoping that the AMHSL gets converted into a full Red Line extension anyway? That would mean this is only temporary (I know, famous last words).

I haven't seen anything super comprehensive that was easy to play with in google maps, so I dug through this old gem and made a google map with some layers that show the approximate locations and extents of the parcels. My apologies if there is a version of this out there already. * Disclaimer...
