West End Railway Case Advocates Citywide Street Plan
The speaker argues for extending and widening Washington Street with an elevated West End line, asserting public convenience outweighs cost. He contends the Commonwealth, not Boston alone, directs highway policy and cites existing legislative support and expected citywide travel growth to justify routing near Washington Street and using Hawley Devonshire corridors.
Public interest in West End rail route argued before board
A Boston hearing centers on whether the West End Railway should extend service now to relieve crowded streets. Advocates say 854,000 daily riders across the system and 25,000 passengers between North and South End stations justify immediate action, despite potential corporate profit.
