Traffic may be as bad as it’s ever been, but the areas that formerly were elevated roads are now wonderful green spaces. So thankful they did it, and wish it could be done more both in Boston and elsewhere, but the gigantic cost must make it overwhelming for anywhere to consider doing that again.
At least Boston is finally digging that green line extension!
- ghaff 7y agoAbsolutely. I'm sure that traffic would be even worse without it having been done. Certainly getting to the airport is more straightforward than it used to be. But the green spaces are such a huge improvement over traversing the dirty underbelly of the elevated road to get between parts of the city. (Now if they could only tear down City Hall and do something useful with the space.)
