Tudor Wharf Draft Environmental Impact Report EOEA # 6744 



and Rutherford Avenue. The new 

 interchange will put most of the ramps on 

 the south side of Interstate 93. Route 1 

 traffic will travel under City Square in 

 the two tunnels (See Exhibit 3) . The 

 elimination of the overhead ramps in City 

 Square will open up the Square. The 

 elimination of the ramps will also free 

 up 10 to 12 acres. The land is now the 

 property of the DPW but will most likely 

 be deeded to the BRA for private 

 development and may be available in the 

 late 1990 's. The CANA project will 

 greatly improve the City Square area. The 

 tunnels that will replace the overhead 

 highway system will result in more 

 sunlight and less noise from regional 

 traffic. City Square will have an 

 improved local street system and 

 excellent access to the regional highway 

 system. The Tudor Wharf project will 

 complement the improved City Square 

 through its large areas of public space, 

 access to the water's edge and the 

 retail, commercial and office space that 

 will draw people back to the area after 

 an absence of thirty years.
