Cambridge officials leading the City's fight against the proposed Inner Belt highway yesterday attacked a new transportation plan for Eastern Massachusetts that recommends building the Belt as part of a $576.9 million "short range" transit program...
...territory and the route are the play, they are not always dark and unknown. A great play is flooded by its author with inner light, and it is usually some jaded director who drags the drama off on some footless side path and leaves it mired and mangled. The text is not sacred Mosaic law, but it is more than a pretext for whimsical directorial pranks. Peter Brook is not that kind of man. He looks before he makes his exciting leaps.

Vope ordered a re-examination of the route which Cambridge's eight-lane nemesis, the Inner Belt highway, would take through the City...
DIVIDED into two parts, the study would first determine whether an Inner Belt, as planned in 1948, is needed at all, and at the same time--after assuming that the Belt was needed--try to find out how to minimize its undesirable impacts on housing, employment, etc., in the communities through which it passes.

If successful, the City's strategy could produce a study recommending ways to ease the pain the Inner Belt would bring to Cambridge. The DPW appears to have given ground only grudgingly, attempting to assure that, once again, its plans for the Belt will be accepted after the study ends...
