This project area could be enlarged a bit by shifting New Sudbury Street toward the Federal Building as shown in this rendering. The purple dashed lines are the existing street, and the solid red is the realigned, narrowed street. Yellow lines represent developable blocks. The proposed project could be broken up into smaller blocks as shown, with a narrow street or pedestrian alley bisecting the site longitudinally. The resultant array of narrow streets and smaller blocks would give a more urban feel, eliminate the wasted area along the nw side of the Federal Building, and would still allow sizeable, tall buildings to be developed.
Congress Street should also be narrowed as shown, and vacant land adjoining the proposed project developed, to create a dense fabric of small streets, pedestrian allys and buildings, fully integrated with the surrounding area.
