I can't wait for 200 Sudbury (the second residential tower) to start construction. It seemingly isn't part of Phase 3.
It can’t start until the old garage demo is complete and that means it will be a whileI can't wait for 200 Sudbury (the second residential tower) to start construction. It seemingly isn't part of Phase 3.
Neither can the State Street tower be occupied...It can’t start until the old garage demo is complete and that means it will be a while![]()
I'd argue the screw-up in this case was building that garage in the first place. Some of this seems like bad management on HYM's part, but a lot of it is probably just how hard it is to safely demolish the structure on that site.The GC Garage Demolition and the North Washington Street Bridge: two screw-ups on a monumental scale.
I work nearby. From my layman's eye there is always some activity going on but I am unable to discern any substantial progress in the demo, including but not limited to this past week. On a side note, a bunch of construction workers from this project were smoking pot in front of my building early in the morning. I had to walk amidst them in order to enter my building - very pungent!!. After finishing up they then sauntered back over to the demo site to resume working... maybe that's why things are taking so long....Has anyone been by here since the weekend garage demo work?
I walk by this three times a week on days I go to the office, and I can't tell if anything is changing or not.Has anyone been by here since the weekend garage demo work?
From today. I’m not sure what exactly they’re doing, but they’re doing something that looks like it’s related to the garage demo.I walk by this three times a week on days I go to the office, and I can't tell if anything is changing or not.
there is no way they anticipated this garage taking a almost decade to de-lincoln log. I mean it's barely half down. This thing is an absolute nightmare.From today. I’m not sure what exactly they’re doing, but they’re doing something that looks like it’s related to the garage demo.

I would seriously be considering imploding that beast.there is no way they anticipated this garage taking a almost decade to de-lincoln log. I mean it's barely half down. This thing is an absolute nightmare.
No, I think they assumed it would be quicker. But between the high profile accident and the issues with the MBTA tunnels, it probably makes more sense to take it really slow.there is no way they anticipated this garage taking a almost decade to de-lincoln log.

Wouldn't that likely destroy both the Green and Orange Lines?I would seriously be considering imploding that beast.

I assume there would need to be substantial reinforcement of the tunnel roofs with steel I-beams or similar before the implosion.Wouldn't that likely destroy both the Green and Orange Lines?
This would seem like the likely thing to do, but no, they can't because it may damage other things, such as the Orange & Green Line tunnels. And maybe surrounding buildings that they intend to keep. Anyway, it was poor sportsmanship to build a parking garage over 2 live & active subway lines. I wonder who the brainchild was that thought of this!! Hah!!I would seriously be considering imploding that beast.

T has already done that to the OL. This would be more like putting the poor thing out of its misery.Wouldn't that likely destroy both the Green and Orange Lines?
