    Other People's Rail: Amtrak, commuter rail, rapid transit news & views outside New England

    The ticketed waiting room is for travelers on any of the three railroads serving the station: Amtrak, LIRR, NJ Transit — and regional rail travelers on all lines are actively in the mix of Moynihan users.

    165 Washington Ave | Northern Burner Supply Redevelopment | Portland

    Sort of parallel to the use of red brick in the 19th century.

    165 Washington Ave | Northern Burner Supply Redevelopment | Portland

    So helpful to see some of their finished projects – especially their "Hawkins" building in Oregon, which appears to be an inspiration – to get a better sense of potential quality, materiality and finish. Thank you for sharing!

    165 Washington Ave | Northern Burner Supply Redevelopment | Portland

    More importantly (kidding not kidding): is that an official Redfern rendering of that angle of the proposed development? Looking good from that angle. :cool:

    Portland Museum of Art Expansion | Portland

    Opinion: Portland Museum of Art appears to have lost its way Stinging opinion piece from former PMA director points to weak stewardship by the current director — and a related story again points out the current salary (>$300k and supposedly 20% less than last year). Not looking good for PMA nor...

    Thompson's Point, Portland

    The bus station isn’t moving and that is busy with tons of riders from Boston, Central and Coastal Maine — and the rail station moving should mean the bus station wouldn’t need to add more parking to accommodate future growth any time soon, so it is still well-positioned to be a transit-oriented...

    Infill and Small Developments | Portland

    Or A cornice — this one looks like a drip edge. Totally agree this looks like those cheap mid-century apartment buildings across Eastern Mass. If a design is this simple, it needs great materials and proportions. This design does not (yet?).

    165 Washington Ave | Northern Burner Supply Redevelopment | Portland

    Nice work! Looking back to compare this against the initial rendering, it does appear that the new building will run from end-to-end of the site along Washington Ave, and there’s a four-story section at the southern end of the lot (likely to allow a view-shed to the related Redfern townhouses...

    165 Washington Ave | Northern Burner Supply Redevelopment | Portland

    Exciting to see the concept and massing proposed! I hope that, as it evolves, the facades get more texture and some variation in pattern. In this image, the left side (facing the park) looks most satisfying: The windows appear more closely spaced, their rhythm broken up to align with the...

    165 Washington Ave | Northern Burner Supply Redevelopment | Portland

    The undulating facade of this big project in a low-rise neighborhood, combined with the materials, made me wonder again what might be in store for 165 Washington. :cool: A New Building Aims to Be a Good Neighbor in Low-Rise Neighborhood

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    Can we please get a transit-design team from another first-world country to consult or just design this for the MDOT, who clearly do not understand or have any demonstrated expertise in transit design? Also, can the Governor's office and the Mayor's office please insist that the Pike be...

    Portland's Franklin Street redesign

    I’d say directionally this is headed in the right direction, certainly — understanding these are just early steps along a long path ahead. MDOT has introduced some more pedestrianized design solutions in “village/downtown zones” recently, and hopefully they’ll so so here too (especially). I also...

    Portland Museum of Art Expansion | Portland

    Yes, Mori and her husband have had a house on an island in midcoast Maine for nearly 40 years. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/21/t-magazine/toshiko-mori.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

    Portland Museum of Art Expansion | Portland

    That team made a meaningful gesture toward recognizing and incorporating the facade of the contributing structure within the expansion and the team lead is a long-time Maine resident, so yes, I still find the choice by the PMA surprising.
