| The New Urban Ring |
|
This piece concerns the proposed New Urban Ring, a circumferential transit line that would
encircle downtown Boston, connecting the "spokes" of the existing radial transit network.
The project is still in the conceptual phase, with particulars yet to be determined;
this paper represents my opinion as to how the Urban Ring might be implemented. Two bits of explanation are required: First, I have provided a link to the actual assignment as I received it from Prof. Kenneth Kruckemeyer in his "Big Plans" class at MIT (11.123) during the spring of 1997. Second, because of its unique formatting, I have made the paper itself available only as a PDF file, readable using the free Adobe Acrobat. (Note: In converting to PDF, some small aspects of the formatting may have been lost or improperly translated from the original 11x17 print size.)
