StreetsblogMASS headlines for Friday Aug. 21

An animated GIF showing a rendering of a new apartment building in one frame and the before-construction view of the same lot in the second frame. Both views are taken from an overpass overlooking a wide city street with the Boston skyline in the background. The rendering frame shows a new 6-story apartment building with new trees, a widened sidewalk, and a protected bike lane occupying part of the multi-lane city street in front of the building.

The Green Line is shown as a parallel line, with direct connections at North Station and Haymarket, and a short walk transfer from Back Bay station (to Copley on the Green Line), Chinatown (to Boylston), Downtown Crossing (to Park) and State (to Govt. Center). A dotted black line indicating bus shuttle service connects North Station to all other Orange Line stations to the north.
