The Transit Problem and preserving Boston Common
In a letter to the editor, the writer defends preserving the Boston Common against transit expansion proposing a Park square to Park Street Church tunnel as essential public work. He argues for gradual progress with limited tunnel plans while favoring widened Tremont and Tremont Street malls and more horse car capacity to relieve congestion.
