That's not real waterfront. If you look at the Google satellite view, it's more like a mudflat.

Im sure we could come up with better uses than a parking lot for buses.
Again, especially within a T stop .25 mile radius.
Are there any plans to build a new airport to replace logan?

Funding approved. At least for the first part of the whole project.
The entire project is out to bid.

I think all Massport did was 'fund' the account that pays for the initial phase of the project. The contract is a construction manager at risk contract, which would explain the design elements.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF SERVICES [edited for emphasis]
This project includes a post security passenger connection between Terminals E and C, and the two piers of Terminal B.
The Terminal B component includes:
25 ticket counter positions,
a relocated and modified passenger checkpoint with additional passenger queuing,
eight reconfigured departure lounges,
a secure passenger connection to Pier B,
concessions shell space, toilet rooms,
a ground operations cab,
in-line baggage screening systems and outbound bag makeup devices,
enhanced inbound baggage systems and claim devices,
vertical circulation,
airside improvements including:
-- reconfigured apron
-- and aircraft fueling systems
-- and all necessary airline and tenant support spaces.
The Terminal E to C secure connector component will include:
interior renovations to provide a secure passenger circulation corridor near the existing outbound bag room C3.
It will connect Terminal E Gates 1A-1E to Gates 11 and higher at Terminal C, Pier B.
An airside glass wall will provide natural light and orient passengers moving between the Terminals as well as improve passenger convenience.
The construction budget is currently estimated at approximately Seventy-One Million Dollars ($71,000,000) with an estimated construction duration of approximately EIGHTEEN (18) months.
After this is finished, will all terminals be connected post-security?
Mass -- i thought that those projects had already been ok'd when the ConRAC was approved
Some food for thought: just think of what could be done to redevelop the land Logan currently sits on.......

I may've posted this before, but a few months ago I thought of how you could reallign the runways at Logan and totally maximize the space currently there. You guys can ignore my Urban Ring stuff on this link, just focus on the airport change:
