Slicing Plan Up To Voters In Boston City Election
Boston citizens will vote on December 16 at the city elections on two questions. One asks about slicing Boston Common to relieve downtown traffic congestion. The other asks about public desires regarding the sale of intoxicating liquor. The City Council approved placing both items on the ballot yesterday. The petition by John L Donovan and others sought to widen Tremont Boylston and Park Streets but was modified to exclude Park Street after street commissioners reported a compromise plan limited to Tremont and Boylston streets.
