The Boston Globe has editorialized “lots of pain, small gain” on the nearly completed BU Bridge project. It cited kudos from developer type groups.
Their digest of the editorial may be read at: http://www.boston.com/yourtown/cambridge/articles/2012/01/04/lots_of_pain_small_gain/.
The full editorial is in the hard copy / on line purchase edition.
The BU Bridge project included significant inexcusable animal abuse targeted at the Charles River White Geese and leaves a big mess of destroyed environment.
