North Station covered walkway update

Blocked section of North Station walkway

Encountered this earlier this morning. WTF, given that the "roof" doesn't connect to anything.

This is getting more and more bizarre.

It's a ramp to use to jump over Causeway St!

Now all they need is another Hubway dock on the opposite side of the street so you can return the bike.

Now there's an idea

Hubway - BMX

That whole sidewalk from the ex-headhouse to the Bobby Orr statue is blocked off. The Partners/MGH/Spaulding shuttle seems to be letting people off at Portal Park--along with all the other shuttles, taxis, Ubers, and tourist trolleys. It's a mess. And there's no room in front of the O'Neill Building, so it's the Park or nowhere.

It really is a mess, and I am

It really is a mess, and I am confused what is going on with that walkway, there were workers up on top of it this morning when I came through after 9:15, it seems like it got shorter on the garden side as well as the street...

its very odd and confusing, this whole project was horribly planned considering the numbers of folks using this area. (I think it could be really good when done...but still)

You'll go mad if you keep

They continue to remove the scaffolding- about 1/3rd of it is gone.

And of course, they insist on doing the work - which entails blocking part of the existing pathway - during the height of rush hour.
