I kinda like them. It’s basically a visual marker that lets you know your not in Cambridge anymore… well that and the sharp decrease in tree cover.
Is there a substantial building coming out of the ground now that I am missing?
Or Tokyo, or Rekiavic. Or New Beford or South Boston......or Mogadishu.
My OSHA 30 card just twitched.
maybe they have to do it this way to keep their cowboy hats on!Like I said above - a piece by piece demolition for Thunder Road!

I’m not sure who designed these new traffic lanes…but I’m pretty sure they don’t drive, or walk, or bike around here! Do they really think that drivers won’t cross those double lines when traffic backs up? What’s all that empty space in between those double lines for anyways??
Fair enough - will do. I’m definitely rooting for success here, but have much less faith in the drivers around here to actually know what they’re doing. E.g., Have you seen all the drivers who blow through the right hand turn at Ricky’s? Not only is there a No Turn on Red sign, but there’s also a red arrow! (Don’t get me started…)It takes many days to install roadway markings/controls. I would hold off passing judgement on the design until it is fully installed.
Why?The trend to rebuild churches into housing, by keeping the form and a few elements, is not one of the better ones from an urban design POV.
