		The boring of the Beacon Hill tunnel and construction of the Beacon Hill and McClellan stations is expected to start this summer.
		Meanwhile, down by the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, traffic may be so light that, as Schwartz says, “you can roll a bowling ball to Manhattan.” Because the tunnel is tolled, motorists avoid it in favor of downtown’s Brooklyn’s free bridges.

	DOT Woes, Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill Courier, August 3, 2000
		The DOTs are not enthused about the tunneling alternatives to elevated highways that have been pursued in some other countries, and they are reluctant to acknowledge that city residents don't want more cars and trucks traveling fast through their streets.
		A project of its scale, which included replacing an elevated urban expressway with a tunnel as well as building two new harbor tunnels, seems unlikely to be repeated.
		The biggest public works undertaking in the history of the United States, the Interstate System is only now concluding its final act with the horrendously expensive "Big Dig" in Boston that has cost at least $7.8 billion more than its original $5.8- billion cost estimate.

	MTR 93, Brooklyn Traffic Uproar Intensifies
		The civic groups organizing the rallies--the Neighborhood Streets Network and Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill and Columbia Street Associations--are developing a traffic calming plan to propose as a test to Mayor Giuliani.
		Last Thursday, one hundred west Brooklyn residents stopped traffic at the corner of Bond and Pacific to renew their call for traffic calming.
		As it becomes increasingly apparent to DOT that highway additions are unacceptable and that neighborhoods will fight hard to reclaim streets from commuter traffic, the City will have no choice but to either quash growth or develop a more balanced and efficient transportation system based on traffic calmed neighborhoods and safe, reliable transit.
