On
September 15, 2012, the MBTA approved $ 25 million in funding for the new parking garage. The three-story, 500-space garage more than quintupled former parking capacity and included facilities such as electric car charging stations and roof-mounted solar panels as well as a covered walkway leading

The garage ultimately opened on August 2, 2014. After four weeks, only 100 of the 500 spaces were being used on a daily basis. By
