What should go on the 25 acres of new open land atop Boston's depressed Central Artery is anybody's guess.
Once the Big Dig is completed and the Central Artery comes down in 2004, the city will have 25 acres of new open land in the heart of downtown. However, deciding what will go there in place of the highway is still in contention. The land, which is owned by the state, administered by the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, and coveted by the City of Boston, has been caught in a bureaucratic struggle over which agency is responsible for developing plans, and who will foot the bill for developing those plans. Meanwhile, a wide range of proposals from green space advocates are calling for parks to architects who want to restore the urban fabric are being tossed around for the area.
