The garage needs to go. The nexus of all the city’s subway lines leads to….automobile parking.

Plus youve got 125 Lincoln by the greenway approved

Existing garage

And the Dock square garage project approved as well.

Existing garage

Both sites are right on the greenway so these are extremely pronounced. Getting rid of these will be huge. After theyre gone all eyes should be on the aquarium garage to finally go away ..

^^ Very true. Is there a timeline to start for either of those garage projects?

The Dock Square project is so ridiculous. They're just adding a couple of apartments on top and covering the garage with perforated metal panels.

May I nominate the PI alley garage on Washington for redevelopment based on its general ugliness, sheer inefficiency of parking provided per area, central location, and in the interest of eventually extending the DTX pedestrian zone to City Hall Plaza?

Add in the the long stalled but approved Motor Mart and BXP Back Bay Proposals...

I’m all for parking structures to be hidden, but I’m probably the only person in here who actually wants a place to park my car downtown, because it’s just way more convenient.

All or almost all of these developments still have parking - just underground.
