Still bitching about the Big Dig? That’s so 2007. This year’s trendy construction complaint is the Kenmore Square bus terminal, an endeavor that makes the building of Rome seem like a weekend gig. Originally slated for completion in 2004, the $23 million project has ballooned to $32 million and has become a giant concrete pimple on the face of one of Boston’s most anticipated makeovers. Undocumented utility lines and difficulties associated with baseball traffic have been the convenient excuses of the MBTA. A 2008 completion date has been assured, but looking at the area, one has to wonder how it will be possible. Jersey barriers, poorly patched pavement, and an ever-expanding work zone cripple both automotive and foot traffic while creating the largest choke Kenmore Square has seen since the 2004 Yankees.
