A 4-story building that will replace a longtime auto repair yard with 72 new affordable units of housing next to Shawmut T station will move forward, according to developers who say a lawsuit challenging the plan has been ���resolved.” #Dorchester

The NIMBYs appealed this dismissal and were denied. I'd like to invite them to give it a rest now.

[Nevin Lorden @NevInDot]

Now, over 15 months later, the three cases against the 150 Centre St project have been dismissed. The funniest part being, they were dismissed because these NIMBYs filed suit well beyond the 30-day window allowed to appeal the BPDA's decision. Let's get this housing built.

Area around the Shawmut T station no blighted hellhole, school says in suit over BPDA approval of affordable apartment building there https://t.co/U3rxRFYucy

The irritatingly persistent assertion of insufficient community input, whether it be on infrastructure improvements or building projects, is so divorced from reality in this city. It's a big reason why we can't get anything done. Case in point: https://t.co/OUBuZx2vTB

Connecting the Boylston St bus & bike lanes and construction in Copley Sq to this past weekend's shooting is a LEAP, to say the least

Massport wants to "move more people in less cars," yet somehow doesn't mention public transportation improvements or an automated people mover. Plz. https://t.co/73TkwWSZ21

Boston City Council don't be embarrassing challenge. Difficulty level: impossible.

Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson was arrested Friday morning and is set to appear in the Moakley Courthouse in South Boston later in the day to answer to federal charges, the US attorney’s office announced. https://t.co/st4812MuKl

@SRichardGeorge Am I crazy for thinking we should let the free market handle this one?

[Nevin Lorden @NevInDot]

I’m no Papa John’s stan, but, for the love of god, let these folks open their pizza shop. If it works out, great! If it doesn’t, then I wish the opposition a very nice “I told you so” lap.

Death to downtown surface parking lots!

A building at 55 India St. is one of the few high-end buildings to land construction financing since the pandemic. https://t.co/u9FYlXBWd4

I was concerned ever since new slow zones popped up on the Ashmont branch less than a year after a 2-week shutdown to eliminate them. Kudos to the T for quickly addressing it.

[MBTA @MBTA]

On Saturday, September 28 only, Red Line Braintree Branch diversion will be expanded to include Ashmont Branch. This allows crews to take advantage of construction equipment in the area to remove a speed restriction on Ashmont Branch.

[Nevin Lorden @NevInDot]

Welp, the 10 months of no slow zones were nice while they lasted 🫠

[Nevin Lorden @NevInDot]

Tbh I think we should just permanently shut down the Braintree branch because these 8 min headways on the Ashmont branch are ✨luxurious✨

[Nevin Lorden @NevInDot]

@WelcomeToDot Will be posting up at my front window the day they are installed to observe the break-in period. And may the speed hump gods one day smile down on your street 🙌🏻

[Nevin Lorden @NevInDot]

97% sure these markings mean that speed humps are coming to the neighborhood, and yes I’m nerdily excited about it 🤓

[Nevin Lorden @NevInDot]

I won’t stand for this Boston erasure, but also I get it

My commute post-red line shutdown. I am weeping tears of joy at the elimination of these slow zones.
