PLAN: Downtown

[themissinglink]

It's disappointing that so many people are opposed to increased height in Downtown Crossing. Almost like the downtown of a major city is exactly where the focus should be on building large developments...

Some recent information in the public comments received in response to PLAN: Downtown. Aside from the usual height complaints from 45 Province, the owner of PI Alley wants the ability to build a mixed-use tower above the 400ft limitation in the plan. They approached the city several years ago with a plan for a 460ft tower but did not go through with it due to height constraints. The Druker Company also wants PDA ability to pursue large-scale development of its sites downtown.

Doesn't Druker own much of Bromfield St.? While I support increased density, I don't think it's a worthwhile trade off if it means eliminating/destroying the small footprint human scaled commercial streets of Bromfield and the ladder district streets.

Replacing an eyesore public embarrassment parking garage with a mixed use tower in the transit center of metropolitan Boston? Never. Not in the city of “NO.”
