Three Possible Routes

Three possible routes for the Inner belt now being seriously considered: The BROOKLINE-ELM ST. route would displace between 3000 - 5000 people and pass within several blocks of Central Square. The RAILROAD and PORTLAND-ALBANY ST. lines lie further to the East. The railroad alignment is actually bordered by M.I.T. laboratories; the Portland-Albany alignment is just beyond the fringe of the campus. It was these last two routes that M.I.T. rejected last Sunday. The Department of Public Works is also known to favor the BROOKLINE-ELM ST. route.
