My understanding is the wall is down on Kenilworth Avenue at 410, not upstream next to the B&W parkway. The good news, and it is GOOD NEWS, is that progress is being made and that the line is coming. </div><div><br></div><div>But it is time to follow Councilman Lingua's suggestion and really put the pressure on to change the support structure's design so it is not a wall.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black">It is my opinion that the ‘wall’ proposed will be horrendously bad for the Kenilworth Corridor. This opinion is shared by the town’s Urban Planning
consultant Paul Mortensen who guided us through the Cafrtiz development. When thinking about consequences think about E-W Highway decades ago. It will be akin to that. Large physical dividers like the EW-Highway bridge that rendered Town Center largely
vacant for decades and the wall proposed by the Purple Line will unlikely be a positive outcome for the town.
