Time to turn Storrow Drive into a pedestrian way

How tin anyone adjacent unreal to instrumentality this seriously? Sure, if we're gathering Boston from scratch, nary 1 would privation a road blocking entree to the Charles River. Back successful the existent world, however, this isn't the case. His statement astir removing the Bowker Overpass is beyond absurd. He is alert that the bulk of each the infirmary unit successful Fenway usage the Bowker to get to the Mass Pike & I-93, right? How astir that ambulances request an businesslike way to these aforesaid hospitals, truthful radical don't dice in-transit. What astir the thousands of radical who question to Fenway Park for each Sox game?

As idiosyncratic who really lives successful the city, Storrow Drive is the lone happening that allows quasi-efficient question of postulation from east/west. For those surviving successful Back Bay & Fenway, it's the lone mode to get to the airdrome and downtown rapidly and by acold the astir businesslike mode to get to I-93, & Rt. 1. If we really removed Storrow, it would simply origin gridlock connected each the aboveground roads arsenic trips that utilized to instrumentality 15 minutes, present instrumentality 45+ arsenic you're forced to thrust done downtown Boston.

Now, if we privation to speech astir reducing the fig of cars commuting to Boston connected a regular ground erstwhile they could instrumentality determination transit...let's bash that! Let's commencement by adding tolls for NH residents who thrust 70 miles A DAY connected MA roads to get to Boston, yet we don't toll them a azygous dime. Meanwhile, idiosyncratic driving successful from Framingham has to wage $6/day successful tolls to instrumentality the Pike.
