RIP to a better Bowker, maybe in 15 when it starts to deteriorate again

What is doubly screwed up about this project of replacing the Bowker overpass with a new one is not only does this project perpetuate an elevated expressway through a major park, it also costs some big bucks that could be better used for BRT lane establishment elsewhere, as well as additional bike lanes and multi-use paths at other locations. So, we're spending scarce funds on perpetuating a 1960s elevated expressway (through a park!) at the expense of expanding transit and micromobility options around the city.

totally agree, but now thinking about it all i can see is the potential "progressives want to take down the iconic 'BOSTON STRONG' bridge" headlines from the herald
