Walked, photographed and observed the entire Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway – Boston’s linear urban park that spans a huge area from Chinatown via the Wharf district to the North End. The Greenway was opened in 2008 after the 20-year Big Dig (“one of the largest, most complex, and technologically challenging highway projects in the history of the United States”) under which Boston’s elevated Central Artery (I-93 / John Fitzgerald Expressway) was demolished and rerouted into a 3.5 mile tunnel. That entire highway system has been replaced by landscaped gardens, open public space, plazas and crucially lots of public art.
