That's a nice picture of people enjoying the plaza on a nice day. All it takes is scrolling back through the past few pages to find the new space similarly engaged -- and not just on World Cup days or farmer's markets. I've gone to school and now work in the area and walk through Copley nearly...

Or why not just have the food trucks set up on all this new hardscape? That's precisely the type of usage that it replaced the grass for in the first place.

This would be huge and a fantastic improvement, 100% agree!

Can't argue with any of that, but the famer's market, marathon activity, and other events weren't sustainable on the previous lawn. We either get those (valuable) activations or a lawn. I'm fine with the trade-off. If you want grass, the Esplanade, Public Garden, Commonwealth Mall, and Common...

On a "normal" summer/spring/fall day: B+, On a market or other "event" day: A-, on a winter day: we'll see (probably not so great, but that's not really the plaza's fault). That stretch of Dartmouth needs to go, but all in all -- a pretty successful refresh. I'm a fan.

nearly identical experience over here, except it was my friend's older brother who took us.

Scheme 1 appears to be the clear winner imho. Nothing amazing, but in context and intent that's not to be expected. It'll be nice enough to look at and the city needs more housing asap, so: win. I also welcome some more retail in that area. Hopefully it'll be something worth patronizing -- not...
