All I can say about this is that I really hope this new project includes underground parking because otherwise, that's a lot of downtown parking that will be vanishing. Isn't the Government Center garage the main place that folks park whenever there's an event at the Garden?

Raymond Property Co. said Monday that a Project Notification Form has been filed with Boston officials and outlines two scenarios to build what could be the largest so-called “green” development site in the city. The project, as it stands, would result in between 3.6 million square feet and 3.78 million square feet of mixed-use development — including Class A office space, residential units and a hotel — adjacent to Boston’s City Hall.

I'm all for building up our downtown, but parking's pretty pricey already. With this garage going away (and if there's no replacement), I only see parking getting even more expensive.
