^My thoughts exactly.

I think the Design Center Partners and Transom proposals are my favorites out of that bunch. Design Center Partners is fairly unique. Looks almost like something you'd see in a newer development in Amsterdam. It would be a good gateway for people coming off of 195 or walking from Wickendon/Fox...

I wouldn't be too concerned. I don't think that rendering is anything more than a quick marketing placeholder for the city's pitch to Hasbro - just a slightly more detailed massing model. Nobody knows if Hasbro is even considering the site, so there's no way I-195 commission is spending big...

I like that proposal a lot too. It doesn't look like a landscraper, and I appreciate what they've done at street level. The terraces are pretty neat too.

Will Morgan is so wildly out of touch with life in the real world that I usually read his pieces like they're articles in The Onion. And the paragraph you quoted is exactly the type of nonsensical diatribe that induces the chuckle/eye-roll combo I'm talking about. But... I will say this. I...

Well, that's a relief.

"Under Commission/Board Review" - https://pvdgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=ab28206d40a54791b7128555cd8e7e18 I'd love to hear more, but I'm not sweating it too much since this was only first proposed in May.

Can't wait to stroll over the B.R. Br.

Well, good. You seem to have it all figured out. I've posted on this forum in support of increased housing and density all across the region. I've regularly go meetings to support housing developments in my own neighborhood (to the point where I'm texting regularly with several of the...

^Great post and breakdown. I too am frustrated with the lack of private business/employment development. That's not a new challenge for Providence, but I was optimistic about the potential for these parcels. I even hoped (and still cling to a tiny bit of it) that Hasbro would relocate to one...

Me too. It's been crickets though.

What rambling mess. My point about Trillium Fenway had nothing to do with density. The pavilion style brewery exists literally right next to a food hall. They're different types of businesses. They're not competitors regardless of whether the population density is 35,000 people per sq. mi or...

You're kind of all over the place here. A couple of points: Fenway's density vs. the area around the park isn't really the point. The park is already active. As is the beer garden that already exists. It'll do just fine with a more permanent home in the pavilion. You can't whine that my...

What's wrong with educated professionals living on the parcels closer to the highway? They're still within walking distance to just about everything downtown (as well as the hospitals where, surely, some of them may work) and they have good highway access. Are you surprised that people have...

I'll add my voice to the "this is a good thing" camp. For starters, the park is a great public space. It's beautiful, vibrant, and active. This pavilion will be an unobtrusive way to activate the space even more (and for all seasons). And while I'm certainly an advocate for more housing...

You're right. I'm definitely coming at it from a rail-rider perspective, but it will benefit a range of users.

Fantastic! I haven't seen numbers recently, but it seems like there are more and more people boarding the trains here in the AM. It'll be a godsend to have this during nasty weather. It's especially beneficial for people who will live in some of the new/converted buildings nearby and don't have...

Fantastic news. This is a great development.

Not a great day for the OL yesterday: https://www.universalhub.com/2024/improvement-orange-line-train-dies-aboveground
