FWIW they acknowledged as much in the most recent GLX public meeting. Will get cleaned up as a close-out item in the summer/fall. And yes, we all know it will then be back a few weeks later.They already have graffiti on the retaining wall.
Charlie -- 1985 was another EraStumbled onto this one. Here's the 1985 plan for Lechmere Station. Apparently the Green Line would have touched down to the surface just west of the station, where there would be a new maintenance yard. First Street would not have been extended north like it is today.
For comparison, here's the current plan:
Yeah, one primary difference in the 1985 Lechmere design is that it was car-centric with two sizeable park and ride lots planned on the north side of the new station, Also a much wider and separate bus loading/unloading area and a wider O'Brien Highway. We've made some baby steps in dethroning the car as king, but still have a long way to go.Charlie -- 1985 was another Era

1985 was 36 years and greater than ⅓ century ago.
If '85 still feels so much like yesterday that parsing the substantial multi-generational differences since then becomes personally quite difficult...I hate to break it to you, but you might be Old.
Isn't that a quote from Plato kvetching about that arrogant little upstart, Aristotle?By far the most effective young folks I know are those who can both listen to the wisdom and history from older folks, as well as to grace this world with their own novel creativity and vision. There are far too many who attempt only the latter without the former.
