Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

On the south side, I think, we are seeing what will remain of the garage. The dark grey will be what is left of the garage and visible to the public.

Only until the 2nd residential building goes up then you'll only be able to see it on the Bowker St side.

I take it you wish to stage a tactical intervention?

[true fact: I had a great-uncle who commanded a fighter wing of P-47 Thunderbolts in France--truly, the tip of the spear, although from reading their operational history I don't see any attacks on the U-Boat infrastructure]

Any news on when work will re-start?

From today's Globe:

Parts of Green, Orange lines remain shut down amid ‘structural issue’ at Government Center Garage

Shuttle buses are in use on portions of the Green and Orange lines Friday morning after the company tearing down the Government Center Garage discovered structural weaknesses in support columns near MBTA tunnels in Haymarket Square, prompting the T to abruptly shut down service on parts of both lines.

Green Line service between the Government Center station in downtown Boston and Lechmere station in Cambridge is suspended indefinitely, while service on the Orange Line between North Station and Back Bay station is also suspended, according to the MBTA.

Boston police said streets will also be closed around the Government Center area due to the structural concerns.

Whew. Glad they finally decided to tear it down when they did. 5 more years might’ve been catastrophic.

Mod Note: Today has simultaneous crises that can be separated into two similar (but nonetheless distinct) threads:
1) MBTA closure due to structural columns of Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End (This thread)
2) A small fire during construction of State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End (The other thread)

That dark grey paint looks good. It's amazing what the right color paint can do to freshen up an old brutalist concrete structure.

One test would be would this be a nice addition to 128 or 495. This building definitely is wrong for this site. Are there any more hearing on this building?
