:shock: Awesome. This reminds me of a Boston Transit Commission report I was reading from the 1920's. The entire report was on expanding the subway and then, on the last page, was a plan for an elevated highway through downtown from the Warren Bridge to South Station. It looks like the map in this paper but the northern segment ended at the Warren Bridge rather than Leverett Circle.
It was the first (presumably) plan for the Central Artery. Finding it blew my mind.
