Yet another super block. It needs a street

To what purpose would you include a street? There is no part of the road grid for which it could connect, other than as a cut through from Columbus to Whittier. I don't see a need for that. There are pedestrian passages and plazas in this design that do the work of breaking up the building massing. The overall footprint looks fine to me, for the constraints of the space.

I do wish they would save and incorporate the existing George Robert White Fund Health Unit building somehow.

^^It would have been great to keep that structure in the mix somehow. I hope they have an option on the Good Shepherd Church property, that building deff doesn't need to stay.

There is a street in there, just not one built for cars (which, of course, makes it better).

A shame to see more 6 story papier-mâché residential, especially this close to transit.

A revitalization of this area was planned for several times, then got scrubbed. I wonder if this one is a sure thing, or is it just another pipe dream. Seems that Nubian Sq. is always the last place to get stuff.

I think Boston Public Schools should take advantage of this site to build a new O'Bryant school/ campus with multiple structures instead of renovating the old one on Malcolm Blvd. It was an interesting building for its time (1983?) but not energy efficient and difficult to renovate with the existing concrete wall structure as well as being occupied. It would still be connected to the sports fields in the back and Malcolm Blvd could be built up with mixed use buildings with housing and businesses.

For Boston public schools standards, a 40-year-old building is practically brand new.
