With Filene's planning under way again, city turns eye toward other massive nothingness, out in Allston

The Crimson reports on vague promises made by Harvard at a community meeting last night to maybe come up with a new plan for its stalled Allston science center and a grad-student apartment building in Barry's Corner:

"If, in October of this year, you are still not satisfied with what the University is telling you about the Science Complex, I guarantee you the mayor won't be satisfied,”[BRA planner Kairos] Shen said.

Shen pointed to a new pizza place and work on a new Swiss bakery on Harvard-owned land as proof the city can work with Harvard to get things built.
