Those are from an earlier proposal. Renders from the most recent approved design are in the link 3decker posted above.

While an unpaved path exists near there, it is not an approved emergency access road, was never authorized by Winchester, and is not used by fire departments for access to the development. Even in an emergency, fire departments are not allowed to rely on an unapproved, non‑compliant route like...

That area is zoned single‑family residential in Winchester, and the town’s position was that Forest Street was never designed for emergency staging, through traffic, or development generated trips with the assumption being at the time that majority of the residents would be using it for primary...

Winchester denied that request as part of the original plan by the developer. Archer currently ends at the Woburn border.

The residential portion of the original plan to the south is largely complete, including the senior living community, townhomes, and apartments. All in that's about 420 units I believe. I don't know what the breakdown is for the 500 that are being proposed now. I recall the Woburn fire...

The two issues that have been slowing this project down are the building’s height relative to the adjacent (historic) Town Hall, and the development's proximity to Mill Pond in the earlier plans. The current proposal addresses both of these concerns. To a lesser extent, there have also been...

White Stadium project to cost taxpayers $135 Million

Any update on budget or schedule? The team is still indicating 2027 but by the photos that doesn't seem possible. Assume everything is on hold pending the SJC outcome? That said, compared to the Lexington HS replacement budget this thing is a bargain!

Anecdotal response, but on the North side the fare gates have been in place for a few years and conductors continue to check tickets at each stop inbound and outbound for boarding passengers. I was not looking forward to having to use the fare gates, but they really haven't been an issue. Scan...

March 2027? Given the current conditions it seems doable, but aggressive and with a lot of built-in assumptions. Or is the plan to be able play games with only the city's portion complete and limited seating? Assume there's no publicly available construction schedule?

The stairs/ramps/elevator and the half of both inbound and outbound platforms closest to the Quill rotary at Winchester Center opened yesterday. The other half of the station had opened last year.

They've been pushing off the McElroy replacement question for a long time. There's no easy solution that won't disrupt the main campus for the duration of whichever option they choose. They're going to have to make a hard call and when they do it will consume a lot of their development...

That's correct. Adding a third span, among other things, enables the use of tracks 11 and 12 resulting in an expansion of North Station capacity.

Has a new cost estimate for Boston's portion been released yet, or are they waiting for the bidding process to complete? The most recent version posted on the city website is the old $91m figure, but wasn't it reported that Dion Irish said it was up to $100m now?

The bridge replacement is designed to allow use of the two existing tracks at North Station that are currently not in service (11 and 12). The MGH building would be unaffected. The parking would get shaved a bit, however. Engineering plans here.

Are we for or against triple deckers?

Ironic, women's soccer is a close second and the leader for girls. And while we're at it, let's close all the DCR ice rinks, too.

Well, it would certainly be the most expensive by construction cost and apparently Boston's portion alone would move into top three in the nation. As much as maintenance will be paid by the NWSL for the first ten years, the cost of upkeep on a $200M facility after that (when larger repairs...

It's for Boston to decide, but from a non-resident's perspective it seems like the choice (question) is about whether the good deal being offered is an affordable one. If I can only afford $250k house but someone offers to pay half of a $1m house, I still can't afford it. It does sound like...

I guess I'm meaning that the Dukakis et al argument never focuses on regional rail. And, in my mind, a NSRL connection would be a nice to have in a Regional Rail system, but having a Regional Rail system isn't dependent on having a NSRL connection. Going back to the 10-20 billion project...
