Description

Zoom into this map at maps.bpl.org. Author: Shurcliff, Arthur A. Publisher: Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Metropolitan Improvements Commission Date: 1909. Location: Boston (Mass.)

Scale: Scale 1:62,500. Call Number: G3761.P2 1909.S581

A comprehensive plan for improving traffic in the growing Boston urban area was submitted to the Metropolitan Improvements Commission in 1909 by Shurtleff, a visionary landscape architect. His scheme was simple, logical, and much ahead of its time. He proposed widening the radial roads emanating from the core and intersecting them with a series of concentric ring roads. Shown here are the existing and proposed circumferential roads. A half century before Routes 128 and 495 would be completed, their necessity had been anticipated.
