He adds that the planning office has not estimated the cost of such a project, but "it could be very high...

The tunneling work will go above ground only at one point--at the intersection of Mass Ave and Garden Street. The tunneling will begin sometime in March, Supratik Bose, chairman of the Harvard committee which is working with the MBTA, says...
Drawning up the current plans was a difficult project, according to Supratik Bose, manager of long-range planning, who wrote the report.
