I can't believe we're arguing about this but ... the pure-play shoe store is a bit of a fossil these days, if you hadn't noticed. Unless you're at Michaelson's (full disclosure - I was shod there throughout my childhood) or payless, you're buying your shoes in a store that also sells clothes.
Ha overly wide is a stretch. Try driving down here at rush hour with 18 wheelers rolling through. Its barely wide enough for 2 cars right now with the construction, especially coming into the Seaport.
It really is too wide. All of the 18-wheelers need to be banned from Seaport Blvd. and made to go around. They need to tighten it up with a grass/tree median in the middle and narrower lanes to slow traffic.
People drive way too fast down it most of the day (except rush hour of course).
I live in the area and yes, a lot of them are the seafood trucks. However, its there most efficient and direct route from 93 or the pike to go down the boulevard. The area is so congested now I couldn't imagine making the road any smaller. The traffic nightmare will be several times worse once 800+ housing units come online.
Well, there isn't any rule stating that trucks need the most efficient route... They are a nuisance and dangerous. Obviously this doesn't detract from their necessity but there's no reason I can see to make an alternate route a truck route and ban them from the boulevard.

I didnt mean the roads are too wide. I meant the way it was planned with extremely wide sidewalks and a huge median made it feel like a cavern. Lol idk what it is but whenever I post people take it the wrong way every time and then it becomes 2 pages of back and forth. I think its time to go back to what i used to do almost the whole time Ive posted here which is only break new developments and finding/posting renders that have not been seen yet and staying out of the rest of the discussion.
