 WinterNight 2007: Boston CityScape When it was finally officially inaugurated early last year (or was it the year before???), the total cost estimate was more than US$15 billion with more to be done. This cost estimate did not even include the money to create a "parkway", called the Rose Kennedy Greenway to create a park from the newly vacant aboveground surface. The other fiasco was that there were many shoddy constructions, so that just a few months after the inauguration there were major leaks all over some of the underground passes, causing closings and just before the holidays last year, a falling ceiling hit a car that killed a woman (fortunately the husband was unhurt). Whether the big construction firms will ever be held accountable to the repairs is another story, altogether. In spite of all the above however, the Big Dig, once fully finished will indeed finally the North End and the Charlestown area to the rest of Boston. What were once dilapidated warehouse buildings in the North Station have now mostly been renovated (although more need refurbishing) to become hotels, restaurants, new economy office spaces and residential buildings. insitu_init_page_photo_description_div('405657820'); The Rose Kennedy Greenway will further add to the greening of the city of Boston, on top of the Emerald Necklace that made the city of Boston quite a beautiful place to live in.
