At least once a week I run by the as-yet-unopened North Point Park, part of a three-city effort to spruce up the space at the junction of Cambridge, Charlestown, and Boston proper. It looks beautiful, about the same as it did last summer when it was in roughly the same visible shape. But there's no sign it's going to open anytime soon. Instead it's surrounded by foreboding fences and "DO NOT ENTER" signs.
What's going on here? The latest Globe article I can find is from last November, with a promised slated opening of "Spring of next year". Well, that's come and gone, as I'm sure this blogger has noticed as well. And it's not like the place is abuzz with activity. Whenever I peek around, there are maybe a few contractors milling around in one corner. You'd think they'd be in a rush to get this finished, given that it's been delayed by years from its scheduled opening (2004!) and that the peak park season will be over in a month or so.
DCR and the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority need to get their act together.
