I feel like this is something that has come up on various threads before, and if there is a more appropriate place for this, then by all means move this thread there.
What I was hoping to accumulate here are all the pros and cons of decking I-90 as it passes through Boston, especially the section from Mass. Ave. to Harrison Ave., or right up to I-93.
The common theme holding back development of air rights over the Pike seems to be the cost associated with the decking needed to support large-scale development.
I would say I agree with proponents of having some combo of the city/state funding the investment in decking, and then recouping that investment by renting the spaces created above.
