Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport
This is going to be an amazing building for the people who live there. As for the Silver Line:
Yep, it runs very well. The problem isn't operational, it's that it really doesn't go anywhere except for the airport. I realize there are difficulties with turning it in to another Green Line branch (and connecting it with the central subway), but it can never be successful if it doesn't further penetrate the core city. Until this is answered, the Silver Line will only be an incomplete option.

Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport
It'd be an even more complete option if the commuter rail had earlier trains. There is a lot of need for the SL in getting to the airport, unfortunately it's not a realistic option for people outside the city unless their flight is after 7am.
The SL from SS out towards Logan is just fine (aside from the lack of stuff in between, but that is being solved quickly by the seaport developments.) The only thing that really sucks is the non-connectivity with the "other" SL. Until these are connected as a subway, it will remain that incomplete option above, as opposed to an actual integral part of the greater T network.
This is unfortunate because starting at SS, which I think has the best connected platforms of any shared station ( I might change my mind if I used North Station a few more times since the upgrades there), out to SLW, it's a really fine subway. Beyond that, we know about the weaknesses, so no need to rehash them.

Yikes. A local reporter just posted this pic of a sinkhole close to this worksite. I wonder if the two are related…

Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport
That's the existing patio by the courthouse isn't it? Next to Fan Pier but not part of it?
Not good either way, but it doesn't look like it should be caused by the site next door. Settling of the backfill below? I don't think the bath tub next door would cause anymore water to infiltrate here, but I could be wrong.

Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport
^^ Yes, it most definitely could have been caused by a leak in the plumbing -or- improperly sealing the edges of where the drain meets the surface, causing water to pool in the soil and create a cavity when it subsides.

Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport
I walk by this site on a weekly basis and it seems they've been having a lot of issues with water in the pit (which might be why it's taking so long to dig out). I even noticed the day before the sink hole caved in, water gushing in on the side closest to the sink hole. Whether it is a plumbing or drainage issue, I think this site is going to have some ongoing issues with water given that it is at sea level on the Boston Harbor.

When built, all parcels drain to a common storm pumping pit. Once the bathtub is in place fully, the site should be in good shape. Time will tell of course.
