I really like the Cook & Fox design, too bad that it will never get built in this city.
The BRA is moving towards supporting this project.
Everyone here who supports this project should absolutely write to the BRA and tell them. They probably are used to mostly getting letters of opposition, so letters of support I would guess really do mean a lot.
What's the e-mail address to write to them? I went to their website and they have like 1,000 people listed. What's the e-mail address that will get the most attention from letters like this?
Thanks. Wrote a letter and encourage everyone else here to do so as well. If we're going to complain about things let's do what little we can to help.
"Fearing a second Big Dig, a neighborhood group opposes plans for a $2.3 billion mega-office development in Government Center."
This won't be the next Big Dig for a very simple reason: The City won't have anything to do with the actual construction of the project.
Russia Wharf has been going on forever; it's only now that the tower portion is rising from the preserved facades. And one could easily raise the counterexample of Filene's.
