TASK FORCE MEETING #2 – 5/21/14 – HONAN LIBRARY, ALLSTON

Interchange Concept Development – Traffic Considerations• Simplify the Cambridge

Street/Soldiers Field Road intersection

• Provide system that disperses rather than concentrates traffic flows

• Reduce traffic on Cambridge Street by providing multiple connection points

• Determine need for 2-lane ramps vs. 1-lane ramps
