My prediction is that Seaport Square will end up being what North Point wanted to be. Of course the Silver Line Bus isn’t as efficient as the underground lines.

Bottom line, Boston needs more residents & office space to continue to thrive in a global economy.

Too bad we can’t do better than choosing between parking lots and plans that look like downtown Peoria.

My prediction is that Seaport Square will be a serious and lasting example of mediocrity and desperation, especially whenever Boston is compared with other great waterfront cities.

This project will be great for Boston. Office Space rentals are through the roof.

I am concerned about the parking coordination, as well. There are very few entrances to the garages. I didn’t ask about it at the community meeting, last night, because it seemed premature. These are just preliminary renderings, subject to change (no doubt, they will)

As drawn, there is only one entrance along Seaport Blvd and one around the corner for the second parking “garage”. That doesn’t seem wise, from a driver’s point of view.

That’s not what you’re talking about, you mentioned the loading docks, but it all goes together.

I don’t know Jon. I guess I assumed so. Not so much a hill but a slope from up there down toward the Harbor, since Summer Street is elevated.
