Designers working on a new vision for Shaker Square know they’ll stir controversy this week by proposing that Shaker Boulevard should be removed to make the square a greener, more welcoming place. But they want to see how the public reacts anyway. The ‘Shaker Park’ concept proposed for the future of Shaker Square by Hargreaves Associates envisions removing Shaker Boulevard's east- and westbound lanes to create a neighborhood park. "Dense urban gardens at both the center and perimeter of the square offer unique opportunities for immersion in nature, within this bustling transit hub," the designers say."
