Re: Volpe Transportation Center Development Cambridge
FWIW, this IS a nice opportunity to potentially get a small public space maintained by a private entity, since it will be a large developer and a large development. Post Office Square is something to shoot for. Water features a plus. Cafes with outdoor seating and other retail frontage a bigger plus.
What I'd really love is PUBLIC space in Kendall where I don't feel this terrible agoraphobia from being on a naked green with few features to activate the space and even fewer places to sit (I dislike sitting on grass). Another open space still adds no character to Kendall Square; what it needs is public spaces that feel intimate. I wonder if this is what people are really looking for, not just more naked greens that make me feel like I need to hold onto something lest I fall into the sky.
