Decking the Freeways, A Park in Chinatown? Part 2
January 9, 2008 by Chinatown Blogger.

This is the 2nd part of an earlier posting from November. At the Chinatown Gateway/South Bay Special Study area charrettes held on November 29th, 2007, the consultant team from SAS/Design suggested the possibility of using “air rights” to build parks, or decking the freeway. Images were shown on how the 20-acre Chinatown Gateway/South Bay area could be transformed into a series of parks that could link to the existing Rose Kennedy Greenway.
Linking the new parks to the existing Rose Kennedy Greenway. The red dotted outline is the 20-acre Chinatown Gateway area. The yellow highlight represents Kneeland Street from Chinatown to South Station.
