...continuous road which, after crossing Cambridge St., Brighton, at the end of the River St. bridge at grade, will have no other crossing at grade until it reaches the 'end of the Charles River Dam where it connects with Nashua St., which is now being widened. This is a clear run of nearly four miles without danger to pedestrians who are fenced out of the drive. The Boston-Brookline traffic, it is believed, would be in part deflected from Beacon St, and Commonwealth Ave, to the new drive under the Harvard Bridge arches and thus the present congestion of Boston...
