DCr has announced that it plans to begin interim tunnel repairs starting in April and continuing throughout 2008 at an estimated cost of between 8 - 10 million dollars. To date they have not shared plans for interim traffic during construction including how the work will impact the Esplanade.
With only eight weeks before construction it is fair to say that the public should demand a meeting be held within the next two weeks. The joint transportation and landscape advisory committee, that dedicated so much of its time to working with DCR on DEIR altenatives, has not been reconvened, despite promises by DCR to do so.
At 10 million dollars the interim repairs will cost half of what the full tunnel rehabilitation was originally budgeted, making it imperative that the extent of the proposed repairs be presented. DCR has refused to take the proposal for a temporary road in the park off the table!

The temporary repairs should serve as a testing ground for final configurations of Storrow. The temp. repairs require the closing of ramps both to and from the main roadway. Traffic impacts can be tested with careful forethought by the City and DCR. Plan them NOW !
