Summer Street in #FortPoint.. ticks all the boxes..

at what point do we tell drivers to stay out of the bike lane.. D Street and Cypher Street are truck routes, the re-design occurred to protect cyclists.. and yes, D Street carries bike riders - 10% of the total volume of this street is cyclists, plenty of curb to curb width to safely share this road

A quick non scientific compare using google maps..
97,121 sf - lawn on d
40,572 sf - dewey square
59,291 sf - copley square
203,282 sf - common
56,531 sf - city hall plaza

@leungboston.bsky.social They can’t seriously be thinking Lawn on D… The venue itself is fine and even better if paired with indoor space at the Convention Center but how are visitors supposed to get there? Transit access needs to be seriously considered, perhaps even made the first priority

Nope, they don’t appear to be afraid..
“Texas increased its energy supply by 35% over the last four years, Abbott said in his State of the State address in February. A whopping 92% of that new supply, according to energy consultant Doug Lewin, came from solar, wind and battery storage.”

The blue line airport T stop is not directly connected to Logan terminals, a bus shuttle is used to transfer to terminals.. bus lanes are now common at Logan-also helping bus arriving passengers- so the blue line riders will not get stuck in car traffic

A good conversation on the #GZero @ianbremmer.com pod on the direction of the technology and the different approach China may be taking..

The redesigned Massport roadway system at Logan prioritizes buses so the transfer at Logan to a shuttle should only require additional bus headway times to make this smooth

Neighbors have been diligently working with planning.boston.gov for over twenty five years and still no City owned space in the neighborhood… relying on a lobby in a vacant commercial office building is stop gap at best

They both are scheduled to complete in 2026.. the race is on

In looking a bit into the program, CRS has a range of 5% to 45% savings.. in my building, a mixed used building with 115 units in an area of Boston requiring Flood Insurance, our NFIP premium is about $30k per year... savings could therefore range from $1.5k to $13.5k per annum

"when Apple created a $1 billion data center in North Carolina, the news stories reported that there were less than hundred permanent jobs created as a result."

Congratulations Councilor !!

Great to see you Steve🙏

IMHO that would be a waste.. local government is what impacts people.. Mayor / Governor..
