Nominate what you believe is the most detrimental vacant lot in the Boston area.

Previous winner:

2010
Former Boston Garden Site

2009
Former Filene's
 
The Greenway Ramp parcels are a good candidate to be on the list!
 
Filene's... AGAIN!


East Boston Waterfront

City Hall Plaza

All Seaport parking lots

South Bay Interchange parcels
 
Giant Boston municipal (mainly police) lot next to the Greenway
 
Seaport Square is a perfect nominee for 2011, considering the number of announced groundbreakings that never took place. From the mythology of 2,500 housing units to the construction of a Hacin condo near the Barking Crab, this project has served as a pure goldmine for BRA public relations office over the last 5 years, without a single shovel ever entering the ground.
 
Newbury Street's last vacant lot (gets nom'd every year; have to maintain tradition)
 
Hate to be a contrarian, but Columbus Square, despite its blob like shape spreading over sites would have done a lot to the area's streetscape and someone would have finally shovel the sidewalks over the Pike on Columbus Avenue and Berekley Streets.
