With the presence of the historical Citgo Sign, a landmark for the Boston Marathon and crossroads for any Rex Sox game, Kenmore Square has always played an important role in shaping Boston’s public realm. However, the current condition of the square lacks support for pedestrian movement, provides no open spaces to host daily public activities, and has no strong architectural identity. This new proposal delivers a comprehensive improvement plan for traffic and pedestrian flow through the square by redirecting vehicle movement on Beacon Street. As a result, the public realm area increases by approximately four times with a brand new plaza space to host an iconic hotel designed by Studio Gang. The new design will bring an active urban life to One Kenmore Square, improving the livelihood of the neighborhood while creating a safer zone for bikers and pedestrians.
