Just so everyone's clear here, this is what we're talking about, its a few strips of grass, maybe 100 feet wide each, basically serving as a median between two major one way streets in the heart of Boston. This isn't some major park, or gigantic barren space. It's a few dots of land separating the North End and parts of the Waterfront from Faneuil Hall and the Financial district.
Every now and then the topic comes up with what to do with the Rose Fitzgerald Greenway in Boston. Which boggles my mind because I didn't think we needed to do anything. I thought the point was to have a "greenway," you'd think mission accomplished.
But no, apparently the Greenway has to be, or mean, something greater. Doesn't matter that we're talking about a relatively small 3 or 4 stretches of land that are perfectly fine as the parks they currently are. So without further ado, here are the top 7 most illogical suggestions from Boston Globe Readers.
Amusement Parks - There is barely enough room for a ferris wheel, nevermind a full onslaught of kiddie rides and adventure roller coasters.
Professional Soccer Stadium - There isn't enough room for a full field nevermind a full on stadium with parking lots. Plus it's soccer. People hated my soccer blogs, nevermind a full on field in the middle of Boston.
Various Museums - Again, people are aware of how much space a building takes up, right?
Boston's Own Central Park - WTF is wrong with you people? Central Park is basically the size of Boston in its entirety, we're talking about a tiny median sized strip of land between two streets.
Transportation Between North Station and South Station - It's called the subway, yea you have to change lines deal with it, or walk the 1 mile distance.
A parking lot - Well now you're just being wise asses
Private Development - To develop what exactly? What would fit here? A couple of fast food drive thru restaurants? A CVS? What do people think fits here? Why can't we just leave it as it is.
