    Northeastern University Multipurpose Athletic Facility | 262 St. Botolph Street | Fenway

    Is that possible to do above an arena building? Are there any examples of towers directly above arenas, or rather towers with an arena on the lower levels?

    Everett Docklands Innovation District | 52 Beacham Street | Everett

    No discussion of the loss of the historic tank farm infrastructure? The developers should be required to keep the largest ones in place, and no new structure should exceed the shortest in height to keep the celebrated sightlines from both Route 16 and the Boston Autoport. Also, Boston should...

    Cape Cod Rail, Bridges and Highways

    Not sure if serious? It cost the state 2.3 billion to build a 4.3 mile surface trolley extension on an existing ROW. The cost to fill in the Cape Cod Canal (17 miles) would be in the multiple, multiple billions of dollars considering the volume of material, labor, equipment, environmental...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    Taking into account the substatation along Alford is remaining, where on the property owned by Wynn could a stadium be located while keeping any of the existing structures? (Hint, they can't remain). Maybe the pro smokestackers should focus on a faux solution like the "lighthouse" at Gillette.

    Boston College Master Plan

    The new president will be a Jesuit, and O'Neill Library will be reskinned in collegiate gothic before anything this board considers "bold" will happen on the main campus.

    Boston College Master Plan

    The current president is stepping down next summer. I suspect most new or major development decisions will be delayed until the new one is in place.

    General Boston Discussion

    It's not a resurfacing project. 93 (and 95/128) have been resurfaced multiple times in the past two decades. It's a rebuilding effort, which comes with a significantly greater LOE and cost than simple resurfacing. If you want some insight into the difference between working on interstate...

    Boston College Master Plan

    Sasaki designed it. It's adjacent to Conte Forum along Campanella Way.

    Multi-Family Zoning Requirements for MBTA Communities

    This you? Why not build as tall and dense as possible wherever the FAA allows, starting with tearing down all those museums in Allston?

    Multi-Family Zoning Requirements for MBTA Communities

    This is a dangerous way to ignore the lessons learned from the West End. The city of Boston, the Commonwealth, and the MBTA are still suffering from the negative consequences of that transportation oriented central planning effort after seven decades. The debt that the MBTA is dealing with now...

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    The site to the east (to the right in the render) are the two remaining generating power units (8 and 9) at Mystic being retired next month. Here's a map. Wynn purchased roughly from the river north to Dexter St., and between Alford St. and Robin St. Further to east of Mystic 8/9 is the...

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    It's operating at a loss, and FERC's agreement to allow Constellation to charge rate payers to subsidize for that expires next month.

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    Two items of interest to me. Images show the facility entirely in Everett, leaving the existing structures along Alford/Broadway intact. That's an unlikely outcome but curious if it's intended to imply something about Boston's role in the project. Also, generating units 8 and 9 cease...

    Hotel | 7-9 Hamilton Place | Downtown

    Is this project associated with this one in any way (developers, funding, etc.)? The two projects might benefit each other once they're both up and running.

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    Wynn has already been struggling with additional parking at the East of Broadway project immediately adjacent to this site. The latest SFEIR submitted to MEPA reduced that proposal by about another 10 percent. I think it's at about 2300 spaces now from the original plan of over 3000. So...

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    There is some context as to why that would be the case in this instance. This, and more specifically, this.
