Nobody wants to hear about people losing their jobs, but I hope some better use can be made of this parcel.

Very little left now - all the vertical bits are gone that faced Sudbury Street. Two "cells" are left closest to the surviving part of the garage, and the bottom most floor.

Down to the last column...

The garage remains look really strange from above:

Concrete ties are noisier than wooden ties, be and so probably not suitable here.

Maybe there's a chance that we'll see something else get built at Bulfinch crossing instead of that lab bulding?

It looks almost as if the artist has smooshed India Street and Broad Street together - you can see the One India St. apartments right behind the custom house, but immediately to its left is 33 Broad street. The Grain Exchange building is shown sorta where the Insurance Exchange building is...

There seems to be some oddities in that 20th Century Boston image. The Grain Exchange building is not next door to the Customs House as it appears in that drawing.

True, but nothing could make me happier than knowing that that faded old Barnes and Noble facade is gone forever....

Could you help me understand this point in a little more detail? Do you mean that some stations could have extra tracks laid across space currently occupied by the low level platform? Thus therefore you could not build a high level platform in the current station geometry?

Putnam was in there; they just recently moved to 100 Fed.

The dark colored stuff hanging on the corridor from the lifts to the old offices hangs way down to the street, which makes me wonder how they intend to demolish it:

Copley Place could use this treatment:

The new trainset is running again right now -- you can see when it or new type 9 cars are running on the Where are Boston's new trains today? website.

Anyone know how they intend to roll out the new trains vs the old ones? For instance are the new trains intended to build up numbers before starting to retire the old ones?

WBUR has an interesting article today on the costs of transition to all electric buses. As (I think) we heard for F-Line before, the current bus facilities are in poor condition and would require substatial investment to make them ready. It includes a link to an A Better City study PDF which...

From an 2015 Globe article: Wouldn't reducing the spot count here just permit other commercial projects to add 1100 spaces?
