...except for the work ending Apr 11, which since it doesn't totally overlap with the subsequent diversion will update the map then?

bicyclists aren't the reason MassDOT won't build overpasses through one of the richest places in the state

D branch is slow zone free!

Targeting the Central Subway is an interesting choice... how many mph can be gained there?

How long do we think that car wash lasts?

Rt2 is completely useless for a multi-use trail for elevation reasons alone. Because of the connection to the Minuteman, the reformatory RoW could be very useful for non-car transportation. I’m not making some categorical statement that we should pave every pathway, but this one is unusually...

I'm surprised that a "frequent rider" of the Bruce Freeman doesn't know it's already paved. Assuming you're talking about the Reformatory Branch, I took a bad dive due to the roots and mud on that trail - it's much less useful for actual transportation as long as it's a narrow strip of dirt.

I don't see why you would extend the streets N/S or how that would be a win for urbanism. 28 + viaduct already blocks pedestrian connectivity, and the streets on the CX side don't dedicate excessive space to cars - they're narrower than the corresponding ones across the highway (this is a...

The Checks Cashed landlord has a nice opportunity to cash in themselves, wonder how long that retail has left

Somehow, Everett is actually consuming a good fraction of the industrial brownfields available for redevelopment - it'll be interesting to see if they upzone elsewhere to continue housing production.

Is the implicit counterfactual (a bunch of housing) realistic? Parcel 12 is mostly on solid ground, Fenway Center is labs (which probably wouldn't fly due to neighborhood opposition). The last RFP for (actual) land nearby failed because it had too many conditions.

My post was ambiguous, but I explicitly wasn't talking about Volpe/Kendall - the area closer to Mass Ave is much worse, and with no (as far as I am aware) plans to change. Also the doors will be open to the public as of tomorrow, Dec 1.

Agreed, but sadly that would require MIT to care at all about the urbanism of the area directly next to their main campus.

The virus of lots of housing replacing auto body shops? Alewife is walkable to a heavy rail station, this isn’t

These approval timelines are why Everett is killing it on permits per capita

That’s Parcel D not Parcel G, but still huge news! Helps fill in the largest “hole” remaining along Seaport Blvd

"B Branch Redesign" listed on the projects for 2020 map, anyone know what that is?
