That would be arches for South End. The arches would bookend a five-block stretch of Camden Rd. with the goal of drawing pedestrians to the street. Special South End tax district money would pay the arches as yet undetermined cost.

Oh, well. Couldn’t look any more dopey than those Ballantyne arches — or whatever they are — down on Johnston Rd.
