The complicating factor is that we are talking about the T.

It's about more than buses, it's about tying the two neighborhoods together So, I'm under the impression that Harvard wants to deck over the highway and the tracks, creating a new "ground" floor comparable with the BU side.

This IS old news

I have been noticing that myself

So, I keep reading that the bridges are "functionally obsolete". Are they dangerous, or just carrying too much traffic? Would a combination of ferries, buses(perhaps with lanes?) and trains be a cheaper solution? I think of all the cars parked at the ferry lots that could either not be there at...
