At this point the plaza has been used pretty consistently for large crowd gatherings that would otherwise overtax the Common grounds. What it needs is more activity: food trucks, open markets, etc. Trying to undo the whole thing with a building program is not feasible IMO, especially when you look at the revolving door of retail along Center Plaza. Let's face it, Cambridge St. is a cut-through road with few real destinations. How best to market the space on either side of the road to at least those who work in the area might help. As would HUNDREDS more residential possibilities for the area. It's isolated, and no amount of development will make it less so unless it's marketed the right way. It's never going to be an extension of Quincy Market, the Blackstone Block, and further down Cambridge Street toward MGH without reasons to hang around there.
