I generally agree with all you have written. I can't help but wonder what the Hyatt Regency and canal proposal of the late 1980's would have looked like. I tried to search for images online, but I can't quickly find anything. The proposed Hyatt Regency Hotel tower on the current site of the Federal Court House probably wouldn't have been able to be built because of Logan height concerns, but I thought all the canals linking Seaport with the Fort Point Channel would have been a better connection with the water's edge. The FortPointer has a VERY valid point that the park on Fan Pier seems more like an amenity for the condo owners rather than a word-class urban park by the water's edge. I think Piers Park in East Boston is the waterfront park we should emulate for any future waterfront park. It's simply spectacular and well maintained.

As I recall, including the designs of world-class architects - Gehry, RAMSA, Pelli, to name a few.

I was wondering what happened to this project and found an application to receive a waiver to build a 3 level, 587 space underground garage that was submitted in March of this year. Note that this schematic was updated in December 2023

The petition did appear on the APCC's (Air Pollution Control Commission) April 17, 2024 agenda.

Trail goes cold after that (minutes from the meeting are noted in the subsequent May meeting for committee acceptance, but couldn't get a hold of the actual minutes to see what happened).

Hats off to ya. You're a pretty good sleuth!
