Infrastructure includes public transit, roads & bridges, port & airport facilities, utilities, and parks & public accomodations.

Landmark Center Park. Pictures we have here don't do justice of how successful this was this summer/fall during the evenings.

 

[DZH22]

I'll nominate that park area under the overpass connecting Southie to the South End.

 

[Equilibria]

Silver Line usage of the State Police ramp.

 

[atlantaden]

The new Harbor Walk (including the harbor stairs and park ) surrounding the Pier 4 condominiums.

 

[F-Line to Dudley]

Conley Terminal Haul Road. No big rig traffic on E. 1st for first time since big rigs were invented...'nuff said.

That's the right answer. Slipped my mind.

The new Everett and Roslindale bus lanes.

 

[Vagabond]

Appleton Pedestrian Bridge connecting Beacon to the esplanade.

 

[Bananarama]

That bridge is definitely a wonderful transformative piece to the esplanade. I've almost forgotten now that they had to pull up and re-pour the concrete deck lol

I'm seconding Landmark Center park as well. They had a skating rink set up during winter and it's been buzzing with activity, especially since Trilium opened up. It's nice how it's given the afronting building more dignity and purpose as a community icon.

 

[Scott]

The lane adjustments at the entrance to Storrow from the Leverett Connector. It may not win the prize but it is worth mentioning considering the cost verses the benefit

 

[HelloBostonHi]

Its not as big or impactful as some others but I have a soft spot for the design of the Northeastern bridge
