Three Crossroads – Kneeland Street, Beach Street, and Essex Street – are vital links between the Boston Common and Theater District at one end, and the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway and South Station at the other. These are three important neighborhood streets supporting vibrant commerce that also act as connectors between popular cultural and economic centers and multiple transit hubs.

A series of small parks and urban oases like this one at Phillips Square, with public art, new street lighting, seating, and landscaping “fill in the gaps” on these Crossroads and enhance the area’s round-the-clock appeal.
