Oh man, GREAT news in my neighborhood:
MBTA issuing an RFP to redevelop #CambMA Alewife Station's decrepit 7-acre 2700 space garage!

I do wonder how many of those 2700 spaces they need to replace under joint development regs. I'm all for retaining end-of-line access, but that garage hasn't filled in years.
@Kevin all my years of pro-development public meeting gadflying has prepared me for this moment. 30 stories or bust.
@bikepedantic does it cast a shadow on Fresh Pond? No? Not tall enough.
@Kevin "you hate hearing the planes taking off from Logan? A few more stories and we can alter the flight paths"
@bikepedantic because posting things on Nextdoor always gets sensible well reasoned responses and people there never go batshit crazy about stuff!
@bikepedantic They're gonna claim the neighborhood can't handle the traffic because the train station is redundant to cars and irrelevant
@bikepedantic we can only hope they get everything back to crepit conditions.
should i post this on nextdoor
