Boston to Seek City Tunnel Across Town
Representative Malcolm E. Nichols outlined a bill to fund a cross town tunnel linking Pleasant street to South Station using existing subways for a temporary rapid transit solution and a permanent route from Park Street under Winter and Summer streets to South Station. The plan ties to the Cambridge and Riverbank subways and envisions an Atlantic avenue terminus to boost passenger traffic. Transit Commission would oversee construction with a 25 year lease by the Boston Elevated at four and one percent of net cost per year.
