    🔹 What's Happening With Project X?

    I would love that lot to be developed. I haven't heard of anything but I believe MGH owns it and I am not sure they be willing to risk losing their parking for even a few months. Hopefully something happens with it sooner than later.

    Avalon North Station | Nashua Street Residences | West End

    Agreed. I moved in during early February. We had crews in here cutting into the walls looking for leaks in April. The flooring in the units seem very low quality and scratch/scuff easily.

    Dorchester House Tour of Ashmont/Carruth St.

    I didn't see this post until now, but I went on the Ashmont home tour. Very lovely to see inside some of those Queen Anne's.

    The New Retail Thread

    Its in the Avalon building. I have looked in when the doors are open and it doesn't look like much is going on there yet. It looks like Avalon's construction is storing their scissor lifts in there still (which they have have been taking out to put up the lighting in the pedestrian concourse)

    Northern Avenue Bridge Fort Point Channel

    Re: Old Northern Ave Bridge I hope that the city &/or private interests (GE) pay to turn Old Northern Ave Bridge into a pedestrian paradise. I want the Trustees to take on the dry dock (and apparently so does the Globe as they hardly touched on any of the other locations). The dry dock would...

    New England Skylines thread

    I know! This is just one of those "imagine if" situations. Perhaps it could have set a precedent for Worcester having real skyscrapers and allowed it to develop into great business/economic hub...at least more of one than it is today.

    New England Skylines thread

    I love Springfield's skyline. The Campanile is my favorite building in in the city. I really enjoy the Chestnut Tower's (not pictured in the above photo) texture, especially how it looks after some rain with wet concrete panels. I was really looking forward to MGM's hotel tower as it would...

    Hope Point Tower (Fane) | 250 Dyer Street | Providence

    Article from the Providence Journal on why there couldn't be three towers (plan now calls for two at most). http://www.providencejournal.com/news/20170304/trio-of-towers-proposed-in-providence-never-stood-chance

    Renovations to BPL's Johnson Wing | Back Bay

    I noticed that a few weeks ago. There is absolutely no delay between them opening and they just hang open for a good while. I hope they do something about it. If they don't want to put in revolving doors could they just have them open more slowly? Or have them slightly offset so they don't...

    South End Infill and Small Developments

    They've been working on this for a couple of months now. It is directly across the street from my unit in the Piano Craft. It seems like they are spending a lot of time just on dirt removal, but there was a large pile of dirt in that lot. Looks like it will be good to complete the streetscape.

    Green Line Streetcar extension to Hyde Square

    I work with the Arborway Committee. Unfortunately, the website, arborway.org, is down at the moment. We try to post most of the progress on the website. But, you can see some of the renderings, which I believe I have linked to on here before, via the Facebook page...

    Avalon North Station | Nashua Street Residences | West End

    I just signed a lease here as well, for February. It is a shame that there is no pool, but I am excited to have a view of the trains pulling into North Station and having easy access to the T/shops there.

    Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

    Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett This has been my fantasy! It would be easy enough to build a platform for DMU service and if the T ever gets a frequent service DMU line going out to Lynn and beyond this would be perfectly situated to benefit from the service, all while connecting the Casino...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    I actually started that petition this afternoon after seeing a senior citizen struggling down the steps, a far to common site for a station that lies directly below "Retirement Housing" in the Symphony Plaza towers. I think ridership would go up quite a bit there if it was accessible. This is...

    Millennium Tower (Filene's) | 426 Washington Street | Downtown

    I am in complete support of extending the pedestrian zone in DTX! I would like to see it extend to Temple PL (perhaps as a bus/SL only zone) and on to School St. as well. And, there should also be better enforcement of not allowing vehicles to use the pedestrian zone during daytime hours and...

    Green Line Streetcar extension to Hyde Square

    There is a lot of support for this from businesses and organizations in Hyde Square. Hyde Square Business Leaders, Mount Pleasant Home, Hope Lodge, Sherrill House, Jamaica Pond Association, the Hyde Square Task Force, and the Boston Redevelopment Authority...

    Green Line Streetcar extension to Hyde Square

    There are four different station layout proposed so far, such as making a more complete & possibly inclosed station on Barbara St and by looping around into Hyde Sq and back on to center street.

    Green Line Streetcar extension to Hyde Square

    The Arborway Committee for Public Transportation is proposing to extend streetcar service beyond the current Heath St terminus along S. Huntington to Hyde Square. The proposal has been gaining traction by residents and businesses in the Hyde Square area. arborway.org...
