Yeah. Real awful that there’s no highway there to improve access and raise home values. Not sure I need the /s. 😉

You have no idea what you’re talking about. The 93 tunnel essentially goes in at north station and out at south station, it was the perfect opportunity. That’s no where near Roxbury, it would have just been another tunnel under Downtown and North End

Why so hostile? It literally would’ve: https://www.leventhalmap.org/articles/visualizing-change-in-boston-activism-over-time/ I think you’re thinking of the southEAST expressway aka the O’Neill tunnel aka 93. The unbuilt SouthWEST expressway already damaged Roxbury - Melnea Cass is a remnant of the start of that planned but unfinished highway

Legit my bad, thought your comment was in response to a north/south station connection.

Apologies, have a great evening!
