Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center
Yes but how much traffic it will add is the main question. It is inevitable that traffic will grow near any development but that's a side effect to a growing city with an incompetent mass transit. Most activists seem to exaggerate the amount and claim that the additional amount of traffic will cause a gridlock type jams. The fact that the Prudential Center is within walking distance of three Green Line stops (Hynes, Prudential, and Symphony) as well as two Orange Line stops (Back Bay and Mass Ave) along with a few T buses should keep the additional traffic to a minimum.
Untrue._ Regardless of when an existing complex was first built, adding towers to it at any time adds traffic (the towers? occupants)._ The developers already admitted to this.
