...and a Clark Rockefeller look-alike to boot.
A few more pearls:
Cathy: NO
Diana: Why don't they provide incentives for companies to set up offices near Springfield, MA?
Susan: I think Boston has enough tall buildings. Leave some open space. Garages are at a premium......
Linda: My city is getting ugly
Catherine: Phooey. After years od enduring the icy, windy, ugly, depressing area that is City Hall Plaza, does the area really need more tall buildings that (I guess) will create more icy wind tunnels?
Adamandia: No no no! Boston NEEDS Parking! If they do this they need to building parking above stores! Like t Cambridge Galleria Mall!
We love coming to Boston , but need to Park car! Not enough Meters inHaymrket Area!
And quite possibly the best one, again from Adamandia:
I grew up right across from the Garage! I take offense to insults! I love that design even today! Took Haymarket subway all the time! Why do you all have to change Boston so i dont even recognize my place of birth!
Possibly the most perfect possible use of that picture.
Dude that was perfect... Are you BostonBred???
Hell, no.
But I used to be a linguist for the government and am a big fan of his work!
This has the potential to be EPIC!
Minor nitpick: They're kicking the 111 buses to the street and bringing the 400-series buses closer to the development? Uhm, the 111 is beyond rapid transit frequency, and 400-series combined aren't terribly common. That's a bit odd.
I'm hoping to see huge improvements to the busway, though. It's currently atrocious.
I wonder how many of them actually live in the city? Let alone live near that part of the city...
I'm disappointed by this to be honest. Another glass box? Throw some curves in there mix it up. This design is tired and unimaginative. Breaking up the garage is a great thing but adding only a 600' to the skyline is mediocre even if there is a green way zoning reg.(which is ludicrous, no on uses the thing)
“Depressing the Central Artery gave rise to the Green*way and strengthened the connection between downtown and the waterfront. I’m pleased that the redevelopment of the Government Center Garage looks to extend those connections — further linking our growing neighborhoods,” Mayor Thomas M. Menino said in a statement.
I assume we're the only ones defending progress lol
