Re: The Victor
Certainly hope that "Laird Stanislaw's Pokal" will be locally resident for long-enough to appreciate the construction
Ursa, Ursa, Ursa -- Bären gehen!!

Re: The Victor
Does anyone know if there is anything planned for the grassy strip and parking lot across Beverly Street from the Victor?

Re: The Victor
I'll defer judgment of the aesthetics until it's finished, but this will provide a decent visual edge to the north end parks when completed.
This section looks like it's framed for a through-block passageway.

Re: The Victor
Are you talking about Haverhill St? It's pretty calm as is. It only goes a block, so it's not a through street. N Station's my closest stop, so I'm in and out of there a lot and have never had a problem. Causeway St on the other hand...

Re: The Victor
There won't be much reason for pedestrians to walk along Haverhill anyway. The entire length of its Avinir side (almost 500 feet!) is completely devoted to MBTA station access and emergency egress. The Victor side (again almost 500 feet) will consist of yet more MBTA station access, automobile access to the above-ground parking garage, and a loading dock. Oh yeah, and a tiny retail space at the corner of Velenti Way.
See my previous post on page 1 of this thread for details.

Re: The Victor
This one is going to spoil the skyline view on 93 after the Zakim, right before entering the tunnel. It's a fleeting view, sure, but I'll still be sad to lose those few extra seconds to something I expect to be wholly mediocre.

Re: The Victor
Oh yeah I was around for that. One of my best childhood memories regarding Boston was staring up at 1 International Place (before 2 was even built) out the back window of my parent's car. Heck, I still remember seeing this one U/C (when I was in kindergarten on a field trip) and definitely remember seeing 2 IP U/C.
