If it's a wind tunnel, this will be no man's land in the winter.

More greenspace to replace what you are removing along Broadway. And how do know this won't be a wind tunnel? Have you walked around the Akamai building? It's causing super windy conditions at street level.

Wonderful ideas -- make sure that the bike and pedestrian paths are visible and/or protected. And again -- please emphasize the inclusion of natural elements (trees, plants, etc.).

Is there room for a dog park? Third Square, 285 & 303 3rd St., are dog friendly and dog-friendly outdoor spaces are surprisingly limited (“no pets” signs abound).

No to community gardens -- Cambridge already has a bunch of these and they're generally an eyesore.

In Parcel 2, the addition of a residential building is ridiculous for two reasons. One, the parcel is entirely commercial, so it doesn't make sense to add residential space here. Two, the park in front of the parking ramp is one of Cambridge's finest small parks. It would be criminal to sacrifice an excellent green space that gets regular use from the people working in the commercial buildings around it.
