there are so many rad wins w/ point access blocks (single stair buildings) - but perhaps the best is the ability to develop/parcels that are incredibly thin.
no [parcel] assembly required. leads to time and cost savings as well. plus just an incredible amount of density without massive buildings.

But will the buyer build the labs as permitted? Or will they switch to housing, as others are doing? Watch this space.

"The most substantial change involves the right-hand turn lane from the BU Bridge to Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, which will get a green light separate from the green light of pedestrians and cyclists[...] The bike lane will also be moved against the curb; it’s currently enclosed by traffic."

Green Line B branch riders in Brighton currently wait for trains on unprotected asphalt strips in the middle of Commonwealth Ave.

We're adding two important links to the downtown Boston bike network right now: Arlington St and Berkeley St. Still under construction, but here's a preview. A network is only as good as its weakest link and this project closes gaps to better connect neighborhoods and destinations. 🧵
