    This is the Big Dig in Boston. It was a massive improvement. It was also a decade behind schedule, $21 billion over budget, resulted in 6 arrests on fraud charges, and killed a motorist.

    Edit: Oh sorry, I just noticed what community this was posted in. I meant to say, “We did. It’s pretty now…hooray!”

      This looks like the photographer was aiming for a shot without people, and took a picture early in the morning or similar. Notice there’s also a lack of cars on the street and pedestrians on the adjacent sidewalks.

      When I’ve walked through the area there’s usually a lot of people around. Some using the park, some walking to or from the north end.

      The neighborhoods to the north used to be inaccessible to foot traffic from downtown. Now they actually feel like part of the city and are a big draw for both tourists and locals.
