    A Complete and Geographically Accurate Boston MBTA Subway Track Map

    Link I'm hoping this will get some more love here than Reddit which seems to be full of trolls on the Boston page. I've been working on full scale track maps and this is the one from Boston I just published. I'm making changes and tweaks as people find errors so the link to the PDF of the map...

    Reduce picture sizes before posting.

    Hey all, I am thrilled there are so many new people coming to this board and sharing pictures of development (it's really the only way I keep up with what's going on in Boston). But because these threads are so so image heavy posting over sized images slows things down. I usually contact...

    Boston MBTA vanmaps

    Sorry for the shameless self promotion but I figure a) this is as good a place as any to hawk my wares and b) who really reads the General section anyway? I'm super pumped to finally be releasing the Boston MBTA vanmaps! Many of you know I've been selling NYC MTA maps for the last few years...

    Poll: The Next Big Project

    My mind wandering while folding laundry I began to think about the transportation problems facing Boston meeting the limited available funds. I don't want to turn this into another "Crazy Transit Proposals" thread but rather a more realistic conversation about what can be done and what should...

    How a Slanted Skyscraper Will Share Sunshine With the High Line

    Why is Dartmouth St so wide?

    This is random but I remember when they were filling in the plaza in front of the BPL and I just realized that the building line from St James Ave to Beacon St on the south side of the street is set back like they filled in half the street with an extended sidewalk. Does anyone know what the...

    Merits of "Luxury" housing.

    Bringing this back to my point from the Fedelity thread: if 45 Province is taking so long on sales then it's up to Millennium to turn Downtown Crossing into a residential zone. If that's the case then DTX isn't going to be that popin' an area for another 5 years.

    Redesign the West End

    With all this talk of a new set of towers to replace the Basketball City garage I got to thinking about how to better integrate the West End back into the city. I'm sure there are many out there who would love to see the modern towers leveled and the old West End rebuilt but that isn't in the...
