A Boston Globe correspondent takes a walk along the still unfinished Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway that has replaced the I-93 freeway.
"There might as well be three Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenways. That's how varied are the segments into which it's divided.
Each was designed by a different landscape architect. The Greenway, as a result, is an instructive little anthology of three different design goals, three different attitudes toward public space in the city.
It wouldn't be fair to make final judgments about the Greenway or how well, eventually, it will turn out. Chunks remain unfinished. There are four sites along its length where buildings are proposed. We don't know yet which of these will be realized, or what they will look like."
