  • I don't think this is the solution. I would much rather see a design that re-vamps pedestrian use.

  • hi guys, I 'm zoi. I 'm writing a book about a 17 years old girl that lives in Boston. Since I am from Greece and I 've never visited Boston I 'm looking for a girl at that age to help me with the whereabouts of the city and give me some info about your school system. Can somebody help me? Thanks a lot Zoi

  • City Hall Plaza, above and below, is presently a parking area for suburbanite city workers and scofflaws. Nothing more. It's a dead zone from a dead time and it needs to be fixed.

  • A sucking void in the heart of Boston isn't good public space. That space would be much better used divided up into parcels for shops and apartments along traditionally-scaled streets. If you don't want the vehicle traffic, block off the streets with bollards and make them pedestrian/bicycle only, with parking for residents in the interior of the blocks.

  • so give it over to vehicular traffic? I don't like that idea at all. Hanover or North Street connected to Cambridge street, I buy that, but not both, and certainly you don't need those connector streets. I agree that the intimacy of the scale of old Boston is missed, but taking away public space-- no matter how neglected-- is not the solution. Not to mention that you city hall location would block the view of the Old North Church from Tremont Street.
