Fort Point… Seaport… Southie…

Well.. the former Secretary tried to take aggressive positions and she was rolled over..

According to Vivian it probably does not include any new sites that could have introduced risks.. what comes to mind is the proliferation of Biolabs in the Seaport

Not to get lost in the conversation, college grads overall are being challenged..

Here is an idea .. start by re-purposing some of the 40 acres of state agency property in the South Boston Waterfront .. MassPort and the MCCA I am sure would kick a bit but aren’t we in a housing crisis..

@vivianla.bsky.social .. in the analysis was there any reference to the proliferation of Biolabs in Boston and the placement of some in higher risk areas like Seaport or #FortPoint ??

Great to see you in the neighborhood @davabel.bsky.social 🙏

Sorry I missed it, will catch the replay.. did parking minimums come up for this segment of housing? knowing there is a hearing on December 9 to cover that issue more broadly

88 feet across 6 lanes on Mass Ave..
82 feet across 6 lanes on Melnea..
Lets not forget the slip lanes..
Whats not to love..

Agree, lost in the focus of the human health crisis in this neighborhood is the hazard of that intersection

We appreciated Councilor @enriquepepen.bsky.social attending the Ride and memorial for Gracie in #FortPoint… quite a distance from District 5.. actions speak volumes

A bit unsure how a motorist ends up in this lane to take a right turn on Cypher Street..

And as a reminder Doug, they aren’t the long term economic engine some espouse them to be..
Data centers bring money to small towns. But do they also bring jobs?
Tech companies are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in data centers across the country. But despite the record-setting price tags, the centers create few jobs.

The cop had no business engaging on this issue.. it is the responsibility of the Warden(s) at that polling location to maintain order..

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
