Me too. I saw someone on Reddit post this the other day and it was the first I had heard/seen of it. Looks nice.

It does, except the traffic island on the other side is being removed to add a 12 foot bike lane. That makes zero sense
 
So, that image above is the proposed final condition as part of the mitigation for 115 Winthrop Square. Right now, the first phase of the Tontine Crescent Tactical Plaza is being implemented as part of the mitigation for Millennium Tower. This is essentially the semi-permanent test for the final condition proposed in the 115 Winthrop package. The plaza is currently being painted green right now (literally right now).

Here is what is happening now/has happened:

They should put it a pool. Not enough public pools downtown
 
I went by there earlier today and stood on the curb baffled by the expanse of pale green paint. It was so unexpected. But as a first step to fixing that road it's great.

How’s the green street look in person?

Seems like a unique idea not sure how it looks in Person?
 
Is that supposed to lead pedestrians to the Rose Greenway?
 
This is a great idea. This will sure to be filled at lunch time but hopefully will encourage people to use the space on off hours. These have been very successful in NYC.

It's a bit odd. I'm not against it, but it feels a bit premature. I think if it had a lot more planters and a sculpture it would be great.

I bike down that street all the time, so I'm very happy for the overall traffic calming and the dedicated bike lane.

At least when I took the pictures, the smell of paint was overwhelming. I assume its better now.

As posted earlier, this is a pilot for a proposed permanent design done in pavers
