I don't think there's a dedicated station thread for this.
There was a flurry of discussion on this board during the Millennium construction about how we all wished part of that project included a rebuild of DTX. The only thing I've seen or heard about this even being considered is a local business sponsored proposal to beautify the Winter St Concourse and add some exits midway up Winter Street - which may actually be happening; I'm not sure exactly what's going on with the construction down there.
However: the station during morning rush hour is an utter disaster, and the new trains arent going to change the fact that a massive crush of people from OL north and RL north collide together on a single stairwell when switching trains. It's often almost scary if youre in the thick of it and consider what would happen in a stampede situation.
Is anyone aware of any long range plans to ever reconstruct the station? I know this would be a superbly expensive undertaking, much more so than the Govt Ctr redo, but it's going to have to happen eventually. Is it even on the T's radar?
