I was walking back in this area the other day. Target makes me nauseous, and my lady had given me a pass. This place is odd...but this project is interesting. The way that it attempts to create a new pedestrian entry way to South Bay is critical for the immediate neighborhood, and I hope that corridor is continued to Mass Ave. Also, this seperation between buildings aids greatly in transitioning into the res neighborhood.
Side note: I love that they refer to a new alley created as part of this a "pollination corridor" in the PNF.
