A New 'Boston Common On The Water'

"The hope is to piggy-back the commercial and waterfront development, with each working to draw tourists and residents to what planners say will be a ''Boston Common on the Water.'' The plan relies on almost no city dollars, and instead looks to area property owners and developers to provide $11 million to extend harborwalks and build docks and floating walkways. Although they have not yet secured that financing, the plan's authors say they have no doubt they will."
