Sweet! The demolition of Eau Clare and construction of the subway station should coincide nicely with the grand opening of the new Eau Clare plaza. There is zero doubt that Harvard is going to continue to sit on this land and it will basically be a carbon copy of Westbrook.
I can picture it now...You climb up from the depths of the subway and are greeted by a modern glass and steel cube that pokes out from under the cracked, sun-baked earth like an exposed diamond desperately trying to dig itself out of it's million-year long slumber. Make-shift pathways criss cross the barren land in all directions like the veins on a leaf. To the west, a beautiful concrete rectangle beckons you to come a little closer. A lonely tree, no taller than an NBA player, gently dances in the wind-swept wasteland, while the many brittle, skeletal remains of its family stand watch nearby. You desperately look for something to eat. To the south lies the plains of DT, a flat barren zone devoid of life. In the distance lies a majetic wall of glass mountains that rise abruptly from the ground proving almost impenetrable. The east seems promising, with tiny rays of light poking out from concrete towers, you assume there is some type of life living in those burrows. As you get closer though, you realize it is a restricted access zone. You do not have the credentials to enter this facility, nor do they offer anything to the outside world. Your last hope is to go north. You decide to use a broom finished, suburban sidewalk pathway to make your way north and discover a beautiful lagoon and river! An uninspiring bridge greets you, and as you cross over it, you enter a beautiful tree covered oasis. You made it out of the apocalypse! The only problem is, you are still hungry....
