    Biking the Boston 'Burbs (Trails, MDC, & Towns beyond Hubway area)

    Those trying to keep it as a "natural dirt trail" are just trying to restrict access to limit the user count so they can enjoy it for themselves. Selfish NIMBYism at its best. We need more access for safe, comfortable non-motorized transportation in this state. If you're arguing against...

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    Cabinets to the ceiling paired with high ceilings are fabulously useful. Yes, you need a stool to get stuff out of them, but it's a great place to stash infrequently needed stuff.

    NYC Architecture and Development

    I definitely trust a drop ride 1000 feet in the air built by somebody that can't spell braking.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Today I learned! And yes I also hate those damn ads that cover the bottom of every page until you click the down arrow.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    First of all, great pictures! But if you're posting photos taken in portrait, they're much more viewable if you shrink them down. The forum software automatically expands them to the width of the browser window, which is usually in a landscape ratio. Here's what I see with your posts:

    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    Plenty of car Logan visitors get to experience the wonder that is the MassPort shuttle system as well. Rental car users, economy garage parkers, etc.

    Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike Parcel 7, Beacon Street | Fenway

    For those that post pictures taken in portrait orientation, they're much more viewable if you grab a corner and resize them down in the reply box before you post. If you just let them max out they end up filling the width of a landscape monitor, and thus require viewers to scroll two times (or...

    Biking in Boston

    Bike lanes are typically signed "no stopping" or "no standing" for that exact reason.

    MBTA Fare System (Charlie, AFC 2.0, Zone, Discounts)

    How would that be enforceable? A person that tapped on the train or entered in a faregate station would not have a paper receipt. So if you don't pay you could just claim to have tapped in elsewhere. Without an online system they could not verify that claim.

    LOL 8 mile detour. Let's all pretend that the three far shorter detours don't exist.

    Biking in Boston

    You should worry no matter where it is. Get a lock that can't be cut quickly with a bolt cutter. A quality U-Lock is the best bet.

    General Infrastructure

    DCR should be stripped of all responsibility for roads except for those who's primary function (key word here) is park access. The primary function of the river roads, Fellsway, Arborway, etc etc is not park access.

    "The Garage" | 36 JFK Street | Harvard Square | Cambridge

    That town reminds me of Leavenworth, WA.

    General Infrastructure

    It's been decades since there was anything that functioned in a vaguely rotary/roundabout fashion.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    GLX is VE'd within an inch of life. Expect nothing more than the bare engineering minimum.

    Assembly Sq <-> Casino Footbridge

    Your feelings about casinos are coloring your opinions of the bridge. The alignment is dead on the desire line for a continuation of the path while minimizing crossing distance. And again, this design is at concept level right now. If it needs to change for the purpose of future proofing...
