@Neil F. 'The bigger point is that the grass shouldn't be there at all. Look at the site plan: you would never design this park this way if you were doing it now.

That's a matter of opinion. I'd argue that they've already paved over the almost the entire block just south of there to accommodate the transit users ... and that this very little spot of green is needed more here than it was needed back in the '20s when there was a lot of 'other' green in the area. I.e., enough accommodations have already been made for the needs of the transit users ... It's a matter of balance. And ... like the theory of highway sprawl ... if we pave this space over and make it easier for transit users to board the bus there, won't it only result in more transit users coming to the stop ... and further trampling the little remaining green space in our neighborhood. Isn't this sprawl, like building more roads, self feeding and therefore self defeating?
