Stuart Street Offer Withdrawn Hurting City Plan
The Park Square Real Estate Trust withdrew its plan to extend and widen Stuart street at a maximum city cost of 20000 dollars, saying months of delay justified pursuing its own interests. The proposal would have opened a major westward traffic route into the city retail heart and involved buying city surplus land at 15 dollars per square foot to cap Boston's expense at 325000. The withdrawal renders the project a real estate speculation and makes it prohibitive for the city.
